Media Profile
Print SettingsDefinition
A set of printer settings optimized for a specific media type, including ink limits, drying time, number of passes, and color profile.
In-Depth Explanation
DesignJet printers include built-in media profiles for HP media types. For third-party media, custom profiles can be created using HP's Media Profiling Kit or third-party RIP software. A well-tuned media profile ensures optimal print quality, prevents issues like bleeding or cockling, and maximizes printer throughput.
