Pricing up printing in my opinion is one of the more difficult product to price. There are so many variables. I've spent a long time creating a formula that works for us and that works online. But one thing that i've learnt, is never try to make your pricing reflect other companies. You can...

IF you offer the service, it is what it is. They have the option to say no, just print it.

Whatever warranty you have with DCS will disappear as soon as you use aftermarket inks. And also, after spending a lot of money on a printer, you really want to cheap out on parts?

100% if you're doing any photography prints, branding, anything colour critical, even colour matching (pantone), you'll want to make your own icc profiles. You can pick up an i1pro3 publish and have all the tools you'll need for a long time.

I Agree, a lot of people don't understand the concept of colour management, or know that they should be creating their own media profiles. But, as OP said "Dirty way to..." people should understand the heading.

I'm not sure if people understand that OP is turning B&W images with grey tones into a halftone pattern with only black dots. When you print the image. the printer will only print solid 100% black (not black ink, but 100/100/100/100 or 95/90/85/90 or how ever your cmyk output is for 100% black)...

https://graphiplaza.cpp.canon/media/ Look on there. Also, you've spend spend quite a bit on a colorado 1650, you should have access to a spectrophotometer to calibrate your stock.

You can use low tack masking tape / painters tape.

install the demo. get that working, then do the licence upgrade. that way you can run x12 while setting up x21. It's literally plug and play as it gets settings from the old software.

Onyx can be complex to learn, but very powerful. Totally worth going through their YouTube channel. the help function is great also. But this is where i disagree. Onyx doesn't need to / should not have to provide profiles. This is upto Mutoh, Your dealer to provide generic profiles. Canned...

Onyx is one of the best RIPs out there and their colour management is also one of the best. Onyx has tutorials on their youtube page and guides on their website on how to create media profiles.

Are you still getting quality issues?

Just want to put it out there - If a machine is within tolerance, you have no leg to stand on. They set their standards to where they believe is the manufacturing minimum/maximum level for adequate operation of the machine. Note that mimaki is an entry level machine, so tolerances vs an...

possibly not embedding an icc profile. and your RIP is assigning its own (which might be different to the file)

Are you using the new colour checker? with their gold subscription?

Lc Lm came out in the 600/1200 series. Why are they required? light inks don't do much other than slightly reduce grain in gradients.

While that product looks interesting. wouldn’t it be easier if you use a normal banner stock. And use banner hem tape to fold the edges. A cheap eyelet press to eyelet it. sooner or later you’ll catch a print head

I don't believe you can. light inks aren't very beneficial. most people change from light inks to double C&M

most likely an issue with your banner stock.
