The difference in blacks, and the rendering error may have everything to do with the rip's black generation...but I'm only familiar with Onyx and Caldera.

We run into this all the time, and the easy answer is...you can't. We run grand format dye sub, so almost everything comes in at a scale. We typically will use the pdf output from indesign as an FPO only, and have to rebuild in Illustrator. We've found this is the only way to ensure effects...

Blends are great, just know that when blending to a very close version of the same color...you will see banding. The closer the shades are to each other the more likely it is to occur.

Build your own profiles...you won't be dissapointed! We've invested in the spectro, and software, and have made leaps and bounds in our color consistency and quality. I've reduced the color matching process to a third or less. We use the same type of method with colors on the wall, it works...

We're running a JV4 with Onyx. The profiling is great on it. I'd avoid the sales guy just working you up a profile...but that's just me. We run aqueous dye-sub ink, so not sure how it is in a direct to vinyl scenario. I've run Onyx off and on for the last ten years, it has some really great...

We've been having really good luck with a spot color workflow through Onyx. The profiling in the new version is great, but you do have to have a basic understanding of color mgmt. The flexibility you have at the rip with spot color tools is great for finicky vector files that are effect heavy...

I finally have a workable icc profile for my HP! It's a different machine now that it's linearized and profiled. I thought an icc workflow was not possible with it (the option was grayed) but I finally figured out how to reconfigure the Onyx workflow options. Our Mimaki and HP are now...

We're still getting some pretty nasty clipping in our shadows. (really the color to shadow blends) I've dialed the black compensation all the way up, but to no avail. I guess I need to loosen my ink restrictions to gain adjustment via black compensation, right?

Thanks Genericname, I will give that a shot. Since I am profiling onto fabric, and within the limited dyesub gamut, any other tips? I think I did try a 2500 spot color scramble...I'll dig into it again!

We've tried running in 8bit, 16bit, smart 16bit... I think the key is to build another profile...I just didn't want to hear that I had to scan/measure 1500 spot colors...twice, again!

Wondering if anyone has ran into this issue. I built an icc profile through Onyx Production House. The solid pantone matches and CMYK photos are coming out extremely accurate. We are getting a rainbow banding in any type of solid to white gradient, or a very light color (ie: c=1,m=0,y=1,k=0)...
