Mural artists use a material known as Polytab, which is a nonwoven polyester cloth, to do outdoor murals on brick walls. Here are some sources of information: Polytab material: https://www.qst.com/contact acrylic gel medium for adhering the cloth to a wall...

Depending on display conditions, and assuming protective topcoats are used- this may not be true for desktop and/or wide-format aqueous inkjet pigment ink.

The best way to specify a color is L*a*b*, or Lab. It is an absolute specification of the color, because it does not depend on a color space profile to give it meaning. A good intro that explains this well is Ed Hagen's Project BBCG- A Better Brand Color Guide, downloadable from...

I learned my answer from Wasatch today. They told me that what I referred to as a simulation profile they refer to as a color transform. I was also informed that a device link profile can be placed into a color transform.

I was wondering if Wasatch RIP can support a simulation profile in a media configuration to do proofing of another printer's output?

The only meaningful specifications of a color are either a L*a*b* number or a spectral reflectance distribution. You get these by actually measuring the color, or by having access to Pantone's L*a*b* specifications for their various swatches. If someone provides you with an image file as their...

I'm curious- could you please elaborate on what is deficient in color replacement in Ergosoft?

Try L*a*b* 71 6 23. This is based on using the photoshop eyedropper tool on your image, taking from the middle of the C in the second Cuba.

You may want to re-explore the nix: https://www.nixsensor.com/color-sensor-recommendation/ You may notice that they support pantone matching based on the feature chart. The color libraries are a feature based on annual or monthly license charges. The Nix products are not suitable for color...

If you are working in a color managed environment, and you have a good media configuration with an ICC profile- Colorant L from Colorlogic.de can in some cases correct the ink build to get an even more accurate reproduction of a spot/brand color.

You might want to consider some of Marabu's water-based coatings instead that are recommended for UV curable inks. See the attached brochure.

I'd like to know two things please: 1. Can you use SS21 orange ink on the Mimaki CJV30? 2. Everyone may remember that the Roland orange ink on the RF640 eight color machine would fade noticeably within 3 months. Anyone know about the permanence of the SS21 orange ink?

I was curious about when you tried using a different printer as a proofing printer- did you compare the proofing printer's 3d representation of the gamut of the icc profile to the target printer's 3d representation of the gamut of the icc profile? Also- were you using any facilities within the...

If you own an Xrite color measurement device like an i1pro{1,2,3}, and you have a copy of Pantone Color Manager(which can be downloaded from https://www.pantone.com/customer-service/software-download), you can still create CGATS, ASE, and/or ACB files which can be loaded into whatever software...

Thank you. It's amazing to be able to communicate with you- as I now know you are of the company that is named for the messy splotch of milk producer of certain kinds of cheeses. ;-) Thank you again. I'll show you what things look like after I make some with this process.

I don't know if you saw the version of my message with the test images attached, but you may want to look at my message again. I presently have a GBC slot laminator that has heat assist, so once the roll comes in, I will try that too. I remain grateful for your comments/help. May I know your...

I hope this message finds you well. Thank you for mentioning Wooster Products to me. I was pleasantly surprised by their coarse clear griptape product as to how well it preserved details on some printer test images I use to check my media configuration work on my print process. It is not as...

Thank you for that nice image of your printwork. I was wondering- are you using a CMYKcm or CMYKOG as a six ink configuration? Also- do you clearcoat on top of the print, or just print and out it goes to the customer?

That's interesting. I hoped to be able to use Ultra-Grip, largely because as you have said- there is an expected performance by skateboarders in particular, but for very detailed high resolution imagery I found it unsatisfactory.

Is most of the printwork you do based on what I would refer to as classical line-ish/cartoon-ish skate art? The reason I ask is because the anti-slip particle density on Ultra-Grip is so high that it is ok for line-ish/cartoonish art, but not so for images of greater detail like natural...
