Thank you- I should have mentioned security, but that would begin a long discussion wondering why people have ignored capability-based security in operating systems that existed forty years ago, with better confinement/isolation than people seem to dream about today.

Some things that continue to motivate my avoidance of cloud services, ASPs, and other rentier contrivances: 1. lax data protection standards and intellectual property protections for your business 2. lack of source code escrow terms in ASP agreements that protect customers by assuring business...

Since you have a good color profile, if you can purchase Colorant L from Chromix, you can get a corrected device ink build for the spot color you are trying to achieve. You can use Colorant L to measure the dyed fabric green color, setup Colorant L to use that as a spot color, feed the profile...

Some questions, if you wouldn't mind- 1. Do you own a spectrophotometer? 2. Which RIP software do you use? 3. Do you have a properly calibrated and ICC profiled operating environment for your sublimation printing?

Just to share an experience- some years ago, I saw an incredible price on DX4 heads from an Indonesian supplier. I contacted my local Indonesia consulate to ask about their legitimacy. I gave the consular official the name, address, and phone number of the business, and the official reported to...

Teifeld Associates through its Substratia brand of Ergosoft RIP sales and color services works to help you achieve the best possible printing. While Ergosoft RIP provides excellent printing for conventional CMYK printers, it also excels at extended gamut inkset printers such as those offered by...

Whatever RIP you(LarryB) use, there are four elements to how ink is laid down: 1. droplet size(usually 3 per channel with epson heads) 2. relationship between light inks(LC/LM/LK) and full tone inks(C/M/K) as to where the light ink stops and the full tone begins 3. per-channel ink limits...

You didn't say in your message which media configuration/profile you are using. If you are trying to use a media configuration/profile that does not account for the unique inks on the VG2-640 such as light black, and orange- you may see flooding. The profiles that are available on line are at...

The simplest thing to do is to use your eye one to get an L*a*b* measurement for the color, and then create a spot color entry in your media configuration / print environment in your rip. To proceed according to finding the closest Pantone, Pantone Color Manager software in combination with...

Can you access the functionality using ctl-alt-c?

Thank you for explaining- I'm curious- how do(es) the failure(s) manifest? Is it fading of the inks despite outdoor laminates, or insufficient ink density, or perhaps delamination, etc.?

A little update about this- Coreldraw is specified to support ACO palettes- but the problem is that it is implemented incorrectly. The actual spot color names will not show up in Coreldraw. This has been reported to Corel and has been sent to developers for consideration.

Nice to see see you Big Squeegee- thank you- I own one of your products.

Thank you for further explaining Joe.

I have actually been a member of Signs101 for a while, but recently took on some new activities beyond but related to my own printwork. My printwork is presently aqueous inkjet based, on normal substrates like films, paper, canvas, and cloth, as well as unusual substrates like Kodak Endura...

Use the GretagMacBeth eye-one option- that's the older reference for i1.

Thank you for that information. I actually have seen the webpage you were kind enough to provide. Because that page is very clear that the pantone approximations are not meant for printing, this is why I asked what I did. The actual MUTCD specifications do mention two dimensional xY color...

The standard colors for traffic signs in the MUTCD specification are given in a two dimensional xY number form. I am sure there is a way to convert this into L*a*b*(Lab), but I don't know it. Info would be gratefully appreciated.

I shuold clarify something- sorry for being confusing- when I referred to an iterative method, I was not speaking of the process in i1profiler. I was really discussing exactly what you mentioned regarding how you use Onyx Swatchbooks. Onyx and EFI use the same process, and I may have been...

I use the Ergosoft RIP's internal provided profiling software- ColorGPS.
