	HP Artist Software technology: a revolutionary and time-saving process for professionals

HP Artist Software is an HP DreamColor technology that simplifies the workflow for digital image capture and correction tasks: Automatically corrects for light uniformity: You don’t need to measure with a light-meter every inch of the surface; you can place lights where you like and just take one picture of a white reference card. Automatically calculates adjusted colors optimized for printing, based on the digital image captured and on the spectral measure ments of the artwork. This closed-looped system uses the original artwork itself to automatically drive the color gamut mapping operations. Automatically generates a digital image with an embedded ICC profile unique to the characteris tics of the artwork that you have just captured.[2] This calibrates the system consisting of the camera, lighting and unique artwork. The digital image file is then ready to be printed by an HP Designjet Z3200 Photo Printer on a wide selection of HP media, confidently producing one high-quality fine art print after another. HP Artist Software works with a select list of capture systems (lights and cameras –including digital backs, bodies, lenses, and filters) and a printing system (the HP Designjet Z3200 Photo Printer is required for HP Artist Software to compute and generate the output digital file).

	Only five steps are needed

1. Take a picture of the artwork. 2. Take spectral reflectance measurements on the artwork with an external spectrophotometer[3] (about 50 measurements for optimal results). 3. Take a picture of a white card as reference. 4. Take spectral reflectance measurements on the white card with an external spectrophotometer (about 9 measurements for optimal results). 5. Enter the capture and measurement digital files, and HP Artist Software will generate a digital image file with an embedded custom ICC profile.
