In the Manual method, the HP IndiChrome Ink Mixing System does not determination the
ink weights. Thus the only possibility for correcting a color is through a fix can where the
ink weights used in the fix can is determined by the person preparing the color.
Note Once the Manual method is entered, there is no return to the Automatic (or Ready Mix) method.
In the Ready Mix method, the work in determining specific colors accurately has already
been done. Prepare a first can to calibrate the press and prepare additional cans for
production.
Note If you are not satisfied with the results of a Ready Mix color, you can change (fix) the color using
the Manual method.

e If you are satisfied with the color, proceed to step 2 (Production).
If you are not satisfied with the color, the HP IndiChrome Ink Mixing System will
recommend improving the color in one of the following ways:
- If the color in the ink tank can be improved by adding a slightly different custom
ink, prepare and test a fix can.
- If the color in the tank cannot be improved by a fix can, prepare and test a new
first can.
- Changing the optical density at the press.
The HP IndiChrome Ink Mixing System repeats this step until you are satisfied with
the color.
Production: Prepare additional cans, prepare the press for printing with the custom
ink, and prepare the RIP (if necessary) to accept a print file with special colors.
