Jim, Neil,
Being the new guy who bought his printer I might be of any help.
I have the new Z3200 now running for three days, and with my unlimited curiosity I did my best to buy and start with the also new CG803A, the HP Baryte Satin Art Paper, of which I could order two rolls.
Please realize that this is my first high quality photo printer, after a history in the B&W darkroom and a 17” Canon i9950 dye printer after I went digital. I might fall in beginners traps and uncertainties.
However, I am up and running. The machine comes with a bundled small roll of paper, a 15 ft long “HP Everyday Pigment Ink Satin Photo Paper GE”. With this paper I started up the printer, calibrated it, and made my first profile. Piece of cake. After a successful first full colour print, nice, but very plastic looking (like the resin coated darkroom papers), I loaded the very heavy roll of BSAP, heavy because of the length (50 ft, 15 m) and the weight per square surface area, 290 g/m2. I was suggested to calibrate again(!) before making a profile, as I did. It turned up in my front panel display as a CUSTOM paper, with the correct paper name in the next menu. To my surprise, TWO profiles were added to the list of profiles in the computer, one with the GE suffix, one without. The colour print results are very beautiful indeed, but black and white cannot do without the GE, the difference with the inked and naked areas is big and more or less visible by change of light direction. With GE I got what I was looking for: a print resembling the baryte darkroom prints.
Question: Why should one look for profiles to download if it is so quick and easy to make your own profiles on your own machine with your own local variables? I have NOT found canned profiles of this paper on any HP site, but again, I do not think I need them, do I?
Hope this is of any help, if not I’m willing to experiment with your requests.
