Designjet Z6100 series printers with the embedded
spectrophotometer.

Utilize all your resources and confidently

increase your capacity by splitting print runs between two or
more printers and seeing consistent colours from them all in the end.

Get consistent colours when reprinting jobs over time regardless
of fluctuating environmental conditions.

If you print a job today and then reprint the same job a week or
year from now, or if you print long runs, you want to know for a
fact that the different prints are going to have the same colours.
You also want to be sure that the colour consistency is not
affected when there are changes in temperature or humidity to
your work environment. HP provides you with that peace of
mind. With the spectrophotometer that is embedded within this
printer, you can count on print-to-print colour accuracy and
consistency.

Easily add new media and get colour accuracy—the creation of
ICC profiles is automatic and simple.

Creating ICC profiles can be a complex, manual process with
printing, drying, and scanning colour patches using specialised
software and expensive hardware. HP's embedded
spectrophotometer

and an automated workflow bring simplicity

and reliability to accurate profiling and precision printer calibration.
