I find that having argb as the input profile means I don't have to convert anything. I get the most colours possible regardless of any or no embedded/assigned profile in the image. Likewise RGB vectors, which I use too, print better in the reds oranges and greens than the same swatches printed...

Yes, good point. This particular file has ARGB embedded. But I have long used ARGB in Signlab due to more extensive testing proving that the colour output is consistently more vibrant when compared to images AND rgb vectors printed with srgb. I'd like to be proven wrong here - and hopefully...

Well I did use the same media that the profile was intended for - Orajet 3551. Although (and the purists will disagree) I think it's a bit moot. Using different vinyl hardly alters the output from a specific profile/printmode. Likewise, slightly different heat settings or even changing the...

Yes the medium grey is a tad darker. Could be due to the CMY to K mixing ratio which I hack-handedly adjusted without knowing just what I was doing. I printed some photo's yesterday which had a lot of chrome and whites and the Rasterlink versions were very neutral - and superior to the same...

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. I have a file which I like to take along to demo days and get printed from the various printer vendors. A stock picture of a beautiful model's face along with a grey background. I now have samples of the same file printed with a Roland SP540...

I hope they do Niel. It's distracting to everyone watching - either at home on TV or in the crowd. Imagine paying top dollar to see your team and having to put up with that constant sound. Does it affect the player's concentration? I would think so. And to uneducated plebs like me who can't...

Socceroos trounced by Germany 4-0! Gonna make it hard for them to hang on after that drubbing.

You've done a great job there - it looks like a big undertaking and you've utilised everything at your disposal to make it work. We have (had) a similar solar rebate scheme here in Oz. It's since been scaled back, but essentially the govt would rebate $8,000 on a $10,000 1kwatt system. Then...

Well be beat England at rugby last night - 27 to 17 if that counts for anything? Won the womens French open tennis last week... okay I'm starting to get desperate now umm, won the womens snowboarding event at last winter games!! Go Torah!! hehe I'm done.

Well the Poms could only manage a draw against Team America, thanks to some pitiful goalkeeping from the mighty England's keeper. Hilarious.

I tried watching a game tonight, I really did. Who's idea was it to give everyone in the crown a big loud plastic horn?? Got a headache after 5 minutes, gave up after 10. Overrated.

And then there's the other ugly red headed stepchild - the CJV. That one gets beat around the head a bit in these parts...:covereyes:

Yeah, all my profiles were laying down too much ink too. The biggest benefit I got was by altering the density to -20. Color Edit/Color Adjustment/ add new color adjustment file. Then select that filename and choose Density/Whole/-20. Then update the condition management with the new color...

Any other Rasterlink users out there? I actually don't use it myself- primarily. Having looked at it thoroughly when CJV30 machine first arrived, I, like many others, was unimpressed with the print quality. Being that I've made my own printmodes and profiles in Signlab, I happily use that...

Just had a look for you - 2945c is very close to Arlon 006 blue, or Oracal 551 series Marine Blue 509, or 3M Vivid blue 7725-17

Okay, here it is in action, just in case you're having trouble visualizing it - what with the spider n all...

Just in case you can't quite see it...

I just use a pedestal fan. It sits by the side of the printer and blows across the vinyl towards the exhaust fan mounted in nearby wall. Helps with fume extraction as well as drying. Here's a pic I just took. And yes that's a real spider sitting on the vinyl...

I've recently discovered there is some color management in Rasterlink 4. Quite a lot of options actually. I've just installed new input profiles and tweaked up an existing media profile and it's made a big difference to the output. I'll put up a more detailed post later, but for now I...

Re 638M Wall Art: It's solvent printable. Has a soft pvc feel to it and a weird clingy but not aggressive adhesive. You can even reposition the graphics. If (when) you have a problem with the 3651 coming off, you can fix it with spray adhesive. Something like 3M super 77. Take a big piece...
