HP Designjet Printer Profile Settings with Brilliance Chromata White and Elegance Fine Art

HP Designjet 130 printers are a little different to profile than other Epson Stylus printers. HP's printer drivers have set options that you must choose from in order to get the best results. You may already have found that HP's printer driver does not offer "Canvas" as one of those options. We found that using "Heavy Coated Paper" gives you the best print quality on both our Brilliance Chromata White Canvas and our Elegance Fine Art Papers.

Please understand that your results will vary depending on what type of imaging program you are printing with alongside the HP printer driver. If you are using a standard program such as Adobe Photoshop, we would like to recommend submitting a target to us so we can make you a custom profile.

Note, when printing these targets with Photoshop CS/CS2, make sure you select "No Color Management" in Photoshop's "Print with Preview" window. When printing with earlier versions of Photoshop, make sure you select "Same as Source" as your profile in Photoshop's "Print with Preview" window. Then click "Print" to go into your HP printer driver. Here is where you need to select "Heavy Coated Paper" as your media setting. Click on this link to find the two targets that you will need to print and send to us. It is located at the bottom of the web page labeled "1 of 2" and "2 of 2". You will also find a video documenting how to print targets. Although the video was designed for Epson Stylus users, you will find it to be very similar to the HP printer drivers.
