Easy calibration and profiling
The Designjet Z3200’s built-in X-Rite spectrophotometer and HP printer linearization and profiling software take the cost, effort, and guesswork out of printer color management. You are never more than a few mouse clicks and 20 minutes away from a professional ICC profile customized for your printer, paper, and environmental conditions. Custom HP profiles make the most of your Designjet’s extended color gamut in reds, blues, and greens whether using matte fine art paper, satin or glossy photo paper, canvas, backlit film, or any of a wide range of other compatible substrates. Perfectly neutral black-and-white prints with extended tonal range, fine shadow detail, and continuous tone appearance are all unlocked by custom HP printer profiles.
Add the optional HP/X-Rite Advanced Profiling Solution (standard on PostScript® models) for additional flexibility and functionality such as monitor calibration and profiling, RGB and CMYK printer profiling, profile verification, and profile editing.8

HP Professional PANTONE Emulation
With 95% coverage of PANTONE colors, you can produce accurate spot-color proof prints for your design projects using the HP Designjet Z3200 PostScript printer.
- Assign PANTONE color names to graphical elements in your PS/PDF-capable design application, and have the printer automatically generate matching in-gamut colors and visually optimized equivalents for out-ofgamut colors, using a specific spot color rendering intent not available from standard ICC profiles*.
- Automatically create your own PANTONE swatch book illustrating the closest available match to PANTONE colors for the print medium selected. The printed color swatch comes with a numerical indication of how closely colors match, and the included device color values make it easier to create customized emulations for applications that do not support named colors completely**.
* For HP Professional PANTONE Emulation to work correctly, design applications must allow the assignment of the correct color name to design elements, and the name must be preserved intact in the PostScript or PDF file passed to a supported RIP with embedded HP Professional PANTONE Emulation technology. Since ink values are calculated based on colorimetric information present in an ICC profile, a correct and up-to-date ICC profile is required for the specific printer, inks, and media being used.
** These may be RGB or CMYK values, depending on your workflow.
