how to install HP Coated Paper
- Prepare your printer and media. Confirm that your large-format printer supports 54" media and that the driver is ready for a coated paper type. If your printer offers a specific coated paper preset, select it to optimize ink uptake and drying characteristics for the best color accuracy and sharpness.
- Unpack and inspect the roll. Remove packaging carefully and inspect the edge margins for any nicks or damage. Make sure the roll is clean and free of debris to prevent feeding issues during loading.
- Load the roll into the printer. Align the roll with the feed guides, ensuring proper tension and alignment to prevent skewing. If your system includes a take-up or roll loading assist, engage it according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure smooth feeding through the printhead.
- Set the print preferences. In the printer driver or RIP, choose a coated paper or equivalent media type and select a high-quality color mode. If available, enable features that optimize drying time and ink density for coated media to achieve the most accurate color reproduction and edge definition.
- Run a test print and adjust. Print a small color calibration or test page to verify color balance, contrast, and sharpness. If needed, tweak color profiles or ink densities, and ensure the prints are given adequate drying time before handling, rolling, or mounting to prevent smudging or set-off.
