HP DesignJet 5000 Series Printers Service Manual
Solving Color Accuracy problems 
These are two areas you should review when troubleshooting a 
color accuracy problem: 
Configuration (PostScript option only)
Check that you are using the correct driver setting for the software. 
Check which ink emulation mode has been selected in the front 
panel.
Media
Make sure that the media loaded is genuine HP media and that the 
correct media type has been selected on the front panel.
Solving Color Consistency problems
n
If color consistency is important for the customer, it is 
recommended that they do not use HP-GL/2 to print with.
n
Some media may discolor or change with age. Check that the 
media is fresh and has been stored correctly.
n
If the environmental conditions that the customer is printing in 
change rapidly, you may see changes in the color consistency. By 
reducing the time the print stays in extreme environmental 
conditions after being printed (especially very high humidity) 
you can reduce the color consistency problems.
n
There will be color differences between HP DesignJet Printers 
because the other Printers use a different type of ink.
