Anything that goes through a roll fed printer off a roll is 'media' in my part of the world. Anything you apply a printed 'media' to is a 'substrate'. Or you can call both or either a media or a substrate a 'material'.

We have a 6' x 12' production table with a Rhino mat top and also a smaller 6' x 4' light table. You'd think it'd be easier to weed on the light table but it's not really the case, I find it harder from the glare. It's great for checking backlight prints and sometimes indispensable for...

I use Signlab for some vinyl cutting and for 2D routing it's great and engraving. I use Ergosoft RIP, it's expensive. The profiling module is over $4000 Just the cutting module to be able to print/cut from my Summa is $2000 but it's a fantastic rip. If I were you, I'd really try push tech...

Maybe it has changed during an upgrade. It looks to me like colour management is 'stuck' on whilst you are trying to profile. Cadlink should address this as there seems to be quite a few that are getting 'wrong colours' as they are saying. Anyway, at least read through the Versaworks .pdf...

Hey dayusmc I've been reading through posts on the Cadlink site and seems like you are not alone with your profiling issues. Wait to see what the Cadlink tech has to say tomorrow. In the mean time...

I like it Brian...I'd leave it like it is, it's more an effect, not a sign.

This is correct...dayusmc just has a hell of a time understanding it. I think he has colour management on whilst printing his charts. I also think he has problems discerning his ink limits.

I haven't looked into the Signlab RIP in any depth as I don't use it at all. How it usually works is that if you send a named colour to a rip...say PMS185, (it doesn't matter if it black or blue or red) the rip replaces this named colour with it's own colour from it's 'palette'/'look up table'...

Hey dayusmc...I've re-read through it all and think you may be getting confused from this area of the tutorial and down... Select to Change ICC by unchecking the RGB and CMYK input tags and select the output tag to be Cadlink Gen Inkjet.icm. This is the setting we will use to print the i1...

Hey iSign....just depends the way you have your workflow setup. I'll print RGB also, some photographic stuff, stuff we create inhouse..especially where you want colours to pop. A lot of our work comes through designers and agencies in CMYK files. So it makes sense to print it the way that...

G'day from Marrickville.

The goal of profiling is to get the prints to look like whatever you send to the printer, but sadly this isn't always the outcome. You can print whatever you design in Signlab as the rip will be set up for it. If you design in CMYK your output will be more predictable from screen to print...

That script is great. I'm buying a copy.

Ink limits (max ink)I think I ran was C95 M100 Y75 K90....something around that. You'll come to a place soon enough that is near the limit of what you can achieve, then you can tweak a little here and there. It sounds as if your getting your mind around it, keep at it until you get a profile...

I haven't physically went through it in Signlab, but the base profile shouldn't make any difference as you'll be overwriting it anyway, just pick something similar to start with. Media selection isn't critical either, if it looks orangey on one media, sure as hell it'll look orangey on another...

Hey dayusmc, Now you're making far, far more sense...C=0 M=100 Y=100 K=0 will usually be a little 'orangey' with Techink. Techink has a very strong yellow. Roland has a very good magenta. (If you were to put a Roland cartridge back in your printer now, everything would have a magenta...

Their Kiwi's...they don't know any better.

Don't worry about your screen for now...follow the instructions in the link I posted, study the screen shots and you are more or less guaranteed to get a good profile. Use that profile and create another and they will get better the more you get used to doing it. You can use your i1 to...

For someone who says he has been at this for a whole year, he should be an expert by now, but everything he posts is nonsensical. I'm asking for oranges but he's giving apples.

Some might and some might not, depending on a number of factors. Only way to find out is to give it a go and see what you get. Try different rendering intents...Rip and Print/Advanced/Color Settings/Rendering Intent
