Calibration Best Practices for the HP DreamColor Z27x Professional Display — Z7X230/Z7X240 Firmware Release | Technical white paper
3
If, after display calibration, the Z27x shows the lower grayscale as light gray with little to no shadow definition then you
need to recalibrate the K10-A’s black level and then recalibrate the display.
Photo Research
Photo Research is a highly-respected manufacturer of measurement instruments and the Z27x supports the majority of
their spectroradiometers. The following instruments are supported:
• PR-655 SpectraScan
• PR-670 SpectraScan
• PR-680 / PR-680L SpectraDuo
• PR-730 SpectraScan
• PR-740 SpectraScan
The Photo Research instrument must have the USB interface. This is optional on some models but is required for connection
to the Z27x display. If multiple interfaces are supported by the instrument the USB communication method must be
enabled and active.
Configuration
These instruments contain a wide number of configuration options, all of which can be set via the touchscreen LCD interface
on the back of the instrument. The following table lists the recommended configuration for each display.

Usage Guidelines
The following guidelines are recommended when using a Photo Research spectroradiometer with the Z27x:
• The Z27x may take up to five seconds after instrument connection to display the first calibration menu. This is normal for
this instrument.
• As this instrument is typically used for non-contact measurements, and typically at a distance of one or more feet, it is
critically important that all measurements be made in a completely darkened environment.
• Contact measurements can be made using one of the flexible probe options, but care must be taken to properly mount
the probe so that it is perpendicular to the display surface.
• For best results, be sure to follow the recommended instrument recalibration schedule.
