  1. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    If the ink is cured very little. I find 220 to 230 is about right for SAV but your environment may differ.
  2. Need Help Connecting HP 310 directly to PC

    It is buried down in the connectivity setting on the front panel, but it is far easier to get to it from it web page under the network tab but you have to have it connected to the network or computer and know its IP address. It is Manual IP4 settings. As for using a network switch you really...
  3. Need Help Connecting HP 310 directly to PC

    The 360 certainly does.
  4. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    Viewing light temperatures I mean the light you looking at the print piece under. That why I suggested taking it outside. Since we don't really know if the ink splits are different with different pass setting, try 10 or 12 pass at 120% ink density, 8 or 10 for the optimizer. 600 DPI or 300...
  5. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    A couple things I would investigate. What are you viewing light temperatures? Have you looked at at the output outside? Is your spectro malfunctioning? Have you created profiles using the onboard spectro? What happens if you let the printer do the profiling? What about your input profile for...
  6. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    If you're trying to minimize grain that is a pretty poor way to go about it, or are you talking about editing the imported profile from the HP and regenerating with new black generation. I have done that and it works and greatly improves the output, but it easier to do and makes better profiles...
  7. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    Changing the optimizer, yes it will alter the base setting your calibration, linearization and profile was based on. With small changes will you see it, probably not. Re-calibration, or re-linearization which you pretty much have to do anyhow at some point will probably be all you need. The...
  8. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    I think you confusing terminology here. Linearization and ink limits have nothing to do with the output profile and is generated before a output profile is even printed. Linearization should be a separate file that you can choose to use or not. It has been a while since I used Caldera so I can't...
  9. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    A well calibrated profile target (no profile apples) will look like that with some variation based on the optimizer which I have previously mentioned. This photo has the output profile applied with black generation set for closeup viewing POP on gloss film. Note I can not do anything about HPs...
  10. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    I have seen canned presets for PSA vinyls that were at 18 and 24 and that is way to much unless you like the grainer look and want less CMYKcm ink lay down. It was just a word of warning because since you can do it one might be temped to set it higher than necessary. I couldn't agree with you...
  11. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    When you in edit media presets you can print the ink density test after making optimizer adjustments. There is also a separate optimizer test print but I am not in front of the machine right now to tell you exactly what menu it is in. But I would set it as 8 if your doing 10 or 12 pass and do a...
  12. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    A lot of this has to do with the optimizer set to high on the 360.
  13. Question HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera

    Some profile patches will look grainy. If you want a smoother looking gray on your finished jobs set you black start to 25% or 30% when making your output profile. Also black generation affects this (grain look) as well. The trade off is if you use less black you need to a keep a tighter reign...
  14. Need Help Magnetics don't work on Aluminum...Duh. But WHAT does?!

    Has this been tested on vehicles going a least 70 MPH?
  15. using a separate computer and RIP computer

    Since our RIPs are windows based my boss will not let them be used for anything else. All workstations are Mac and with the Fiery RIPs we have a client front end that runs on the Mac OS as well as the Windows OS if anyone would use one. For other RIPs we use a Hot folder that is accessed on the...
  16. Lets Talk Flatbed Laminators, Pros/Cons, Ideas, Etc...

    I couple things I could think of would be a take-up roll for release liner. Also the possibility of a hy-bred with a powered bottom roller at one end that the gantry roller could lock over, and take up rollers as well. I can see some great uses for a flat bed laminator but there is no way I...
  17. New HP Latex printers L560 and L570

    I am really surprised that we have not heard more about these 500 machine. Especially hitting higher gamut at lower passes that is a limitation of the 300 machines.
  18. Onyx RIP / Printing images with Embedded Profile if different from quick set

    If your printer is a iPF5000 you can address it as an RGB device or as a CMYK device, which I wouldn't advise unless to eliminate the use of the RGB inks and limit to CMYK only. CMYKRGB is a real challenge to linearize. If you address it as an RGB device than an RGB output profile should...
  19. Surecolor P10000, 20000

    Could you explain why Epson style heads are preferable for your industry given you statement about dropped nozzles. I ran printers with Epson style heads for many years until we got our first Canon iPF in 2007. After the nozzle clogging experiences with Epson I am still scratching my head as...
