And then there is Frank Marshal Davis Jr.

Then there is nothing wrong with profile. I suppose onyx is still like when I last tested it and will not give a reason why it won't RIP if set to two sided. Any chance setting your setting it 2 sided on the printer also and Onyx doesn't like that?

So if you tell it single sided will it RIP?

And they can't even figure it out that throwing so much mud has caused them to loose ground.

What is the GCR and especially your black start of your output profile? That will affect how much black you are using in your grays. The less black (which looks pretty grainy on the HP) you use the more lc and lm will be used especially in lighter grays which will make appear it to be less grainy.

I have it set a 30G which is probably too high when I only have 48G. The main problem with PS is it is not releasing all that RAM and then it bogs down the system. Probably get a new Mac Pro as soon as the W5700X video cards become available then maybe put 128G on the system.

Definatly add more ram. That has got to be a struggle with only 8G. I would go at least 64G. Unix base systems just run better with lots of RAM. I have 48G in my 2012 Mac Pro and it is not enough. After heavy Photoshop usage I have to close PS or I will run out of RAM.

Sounds like you're confused. The printer does the calibration, makes no difference what profile you use, manufactures or your own. In Onyx you create a linearization if you want (not necessary with the 365) when making a profile and if so you can re-linearize if you want but even then if you...

When you setup to print your output values chart in your RIP start with 0/100/100/0. Then choose the best output value that matches your sample. Then create a named spot color so that the RIP will choose that output value or use the replace color function in your RIP.

I probably should have mentioned, absolutely calibrate the profile first. As for reading targets I would tell Onyx to use the onboard spectrophotometer and do something else for while it is printing and reading targets. Won't take anymore vinyl that way and you will have a lot more control over...

The best way to hit Named Pantone colors like that is to look at the output CMYK values in Onyx color replace and use that as a starting point for printing a chart of variations of that color and then determine what values looks the best and then add that to or create a new Spot Color Library...

You should not be using any profile to print the swatches that you are measuring. Choose in Onyx the media preset you have selected on the printer and then print your swatches with color management turned off in Onyx if using i1Profiler. But Onyx should be doing that when you use it's profile...

I understand it is cheap and will shrink after applied, but for short term yard signs that is alright. What I want to know is about the 83# liner buckling and causing head strikes and other problems when printing.

Orajet 3641 would be good for short term yard signs since General Formulations 201-OAP can no longer be used with latex. But I remembered this thread and wondered if any one came up with a heat/pass combination that worked with the 3641 83# release liner?

To get good black and white prints from the latex you have to really stay on top of the calibration, unless you use the black ink only which I don't think you would be satisfied with. Depending on your GCR settings you can get good black and whites but the less black ink you use the more you...

Not sure what you mean by rebuild profile. You either re-calibrate on the printer or re-linearize in the RIP or after trying both or those and you not getting what you want then create a new profile. Are you running the calibration on the printer? I rarely ever need create a new profile.

Good point on FIlemaker. Any workflow plus accounting package out their for Filemaker to avoid the entering things twice issue.

I tried Toodledo and found it usable, but internet access here is a problem at times and can't be trusted for day to day connectivity. So I went back and looked at the form custom ability in Quickbooks and found that to be a better process and without having to enter anything in twice. For us...

What you need is a way to maintain color consistency using a Spetcro. Get a spectrophotometer if you printer does not have one and a RIP that will allow you to linearize and create profiles. Then you will be able to maintain color consistency by re-linearizing as necessary.
