I'm running into a similar problem with our new HP 5500 UV machine. I've
downloaded all the proper media and ICC profiles and yet image colors (not
swatches with pre-defined CMYK values) are printing out with a funky bluish
cast. As our lighting is funky and all monitors are different, I go by the
numbers. My other 3 plotters are DesignJet 800s and all have similar
predictable output-that looks like what I'd expect. I want to zero my UV
plotter in to be more in line with the 800s. Any suggestions?

I have just tried my first test print using Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 188
that has resulted in a print where the colours are way over saturated.
The approach that I took was to:-
1. Download HP's supplied profile for this paper
2. Calibrate the DJ130 to this paper, using "Heavy Weight Coated"
at "Best"
3. Set the print preference to use the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 188 ICC
4. Printer setup to use "Heavy Weight Coated Paper" at "Best", with
color management set to "Application Managed Color"
Softproofing shows the image to be acceptable, but when printed the
image colour is over saturated. Maybe the ink load is too heavy?? Any
assistance/advice would be most gratefull.
Thanks
Lou
