November 9, 2006: HP has embedded spectrophotometers in its new HP Designjet Z2100 and Z3100 photo printer series, allowing fully automated colour calibration and media profiling. profiling and colour maintenance. To maintain accurate and consistent colour, daily calibration is highly recommended by professional users. This can add up to six to eight hours per month. The embedded spectrophotometer in the HP Designjet Z2100 and Z3100 printers allows much of this work to be done automatically by the printer. The printer will automatically handle the manual work of printing, drying, preparation for measurement, colour patch measurement, as well as computing and updating printer firmware, freeing the user to do other tasks.
Supplied with each printer is HP’s Color Center software, which automates essential tasks like controlling and tracking all colour devices for variations in temperature, humidity, environmental changes and printing behaviour – including changes in hardware through wear and tear, inks and media. The addition of an embedded spectrophotometer in these new printers will dramatically reduces that burden, as well as minimising the time wasted in correcting unintentional reading errors.
