You need use named spot colors that are in your RIPs spot color library. Then print a color chart with the output CMYK values variations then choose those values for the spot color that is the best match and enter that into your library. Then you don't need to worry about CMYK input values and...

Since Mike has not responded yet, for those of you that are interested here is his take on G7 from his web site. Certified Correct Color Vs G7 For Large Format Printing

I would agree Mike knows his stuff and can be very helpful especially to CM newbies. One thing I did disagree with Mike in the past (it may have been a lack of understanding each other) was the training he would provide you on the calibration/linearization that you need to be able to do to...

Yes for inkjet proofing of offset or digital jobs it make sense. For signage not so much.

G7 is not very useful for Wide Format Inkjet printer or any inkjet printer for that matter. It is very useful for digital and offset presses.

What spectro does your RIP use? I would find a monitor profiling software that supports the same spectro. But, one like X-Rite i1Display Pro would work just as well. Or consider a monitor that has it's own calibration/profile package. On reproducing named Pantone Spot colors calibrating and...

Small woodworking clamps work well for me. But I don't think the curing area design is as problematic on the L300 series as the L500 series.

In looking at the specifications for laminators lately I am seeing a lot of them that are not bi-directional. If your going to be laminating to large substrates you want a laminator the can be run bi-directional. It will make laminating and keeping everything straight to large substrates so much...

How low?

What is your humidity level in the shop? Or does this happen in the summer as well?

It will probably print fine, unless you have just changed printheads then you might see a color difference. If you got profile for the media, direct from the manufacturers how did they recommend you calibrate that media preset? I would ask them if they didn't document it.

The calibration sets the correct density for each of the 7 values of all six inks on a per media preset basis.

Forgot to reply about port 9100. That should be correct.

So that still does not require you to do anything about it. Since you can't calibrate and profile reflective media, find a good SAV media/output profile set that works with your reflective. Use it for your baseline, so then if you need to re-calibrate because of hardware or other changes use...

Connecting straight from the printer to the computer requires a crossover cable or automatic switching network hardware in your computer. Not sure if the L25500 had automatic switching? Does you network card/hardware on your computer have this?

Why who requires that? It is not the printer.

Yes but 60% is to high. Try 50%. What you will be fighting with raising the light ink high is laying down too much ink. The media might be less accepting of that much ink and your pass counts, inter-pass delay, and heat will have to be high enough to properly cure the ink. You just have to test it.

I thought you were using ONYX. But anyway that is pretty minimal light ink usage but I don't know the results with Flexi. RIPs are not all the same with what will appear to be the same settings producing different results with different RIPs. But for low graininess you typical want get the high...

Most likely the printer was setup with static IP and would need a new setting that matches you network. I would not advise using DHCP but you can set that temporary to see what address it will pull, (that is if your router is setup as a DHCP server) and then you can set that as your static IP...

No in the linearization there should be a setting for the light ink splits/curves. That has nothing to with the output profile. What the output profile does is determine how much CMY is replacing K and where. The light ink splits/curves in the linearization file determines how much and where the...
