HP Designjet Z5200 PostScript Printer

The HP Designjet Z5200 is a very easy-to-use large format printer which has been designed for small copy shops and burgeoning print providers who are interested in bringing large format printing into their business.

Printing to industry standards is extremely simple with the HP Designjet Z5200 due to the integrated measuring device tightly meshing with the automatic calibration, monitoring and recalibration functionality in GMG ColorProof.

Printer features

  • The HP Designjet Z5200 can print 8 colors (8c) in total: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Gray, Photo Black / Matte Black. Depending on the selected media type, either Photo Black (PK) or Matte Black (MK) is used.
  • The integrated measuring device allows for convenient and fully automated working procedures, ensuring that each proof turns out 100% color-accurate.
  • Control strips can be printed together with the proof and are automatically verified by GMG ProofControl.

Available Color Management Sets

GMG ColorProof supports the profiles of all common industry standards such as ISO, GRAcOL, SWOP, 3DAP and offers color management sets for various HP, GMG and other print media.

If you want to use a different print medium, you first need to add the print medium in the Database view (Database > Media). You can then proceed to the next step and create a calibration set and a proof standard for the new printer-medium combination.

All these steps are explained step for step in our printer-specific Starter Kits which are available in the Support Area of our website.

Custom media should be thoroughly tested before use to ensure optimum quality.
