  1. My blues are crp.

    I'm confused...never had to mess with a profile until now...Does that mean you have never created a profile? Linearized or calibrated a canned profile? If so, why did you buy this printer? You could have saved yourself money and touch a 315 or a 335. You changed tour ecosystem by upgrading your...

  5. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    Your blacks look greenish? Do you build your files in cmyk or rgb? I’m guessing cmyk. I always work in rgb, the rip will convert everything to cmyk. Running a color calibration on your 335 should resolve that. The other thing to look at is your build of black. You don’t need anything more than...

  7. Opinion Epson Surecolor 40600 vs Roland TrueVis SG

    first version of the TruVis was a nightmare...the resolution of the heads is less than the competitors...for what you are doing...go with an epson s40 plus a summa vinyl cutter with tangential blade...same cost as the tru vis
  8. Vectorizing an image

    I have vector magic...works 60% of the time...when in doubt use vectorize now...cheap and quick turnaround
  9. COLEX or ESKO

    I demo the Colex recently...its pretty solid. I was impressed with their manufacturing facility and their next day EOT repair return policy. Summa takes 2-3 months. I have a firm working/service knowledge of the Summa and I'm in the market. Colex actually has a licensed version of the software...
  10. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    I'm not sure what true cmyk gets you either except a smaller color gamut. If you need a cmyk only profile, you can create one onboard with a hp l365 or 560. Or better yet, buy 2 epson s80's with an Ione color meter for the same price as the Ricoh
  11. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    Epson S80 is a better decision. You could buy 2 at that price. The Richo has not had a good track record...if you need to go latex, stick with HP.

  17. Black Colors on Flatbed Turning Out Greenish

    The FB color in general can be a little flakey...highly recommend investing in an IOne and relinearizing your profiles. HP has had an issue with cyan...I would shake cyan and magenta.

  20. Smoked our FB500 today...

    Also, you can go to HP and become a self maintainer...if mechanical inclined. Then you purchase a parts contract with or without a printhead allotment and provide your own service to your printer. You can always call another tech in if the job is beyond your limits.
