I use the Ergosoft RIP. The reason I feel it is appropriate is because there have been enough examples of cases where I have seen both Colorpicker/Colorant take a 6-10 delta e 2000 difference down to 3 or less.

I'm curious- why did you decide to stop making your own media configurations and profiles?

If you want a reliable print process that faithfully reproduces color properly, you will do your own calibration/media configuration and profiling. The reduction of wasted test prints from 'tweaking it forever' will also be a good thing. With Versaworks you will need the i1profiler Publish...

I heard back from Matthews paint- the person who created their swatch files is no longer working at the company, and they cannot tell me the appropriate color space profile for their swatch files.

I actually have done a trial with colorant, and it definitely does what I need in re spot color ink build improvement.

Perhaps if you looked into printing the color on an outdoor traffic sign vinyl and using traffic sign outdoor laminate materials as a protective you could achieve the 7 year goal.

Assuming that the RGB values in Matthews Adobe Swatch File are based on an SRGB color profile, the L*a*b* for that color is: 22.3633, 0.3282, -31.7286. You could use this in order to compare a vinyl you are considering with this. I have Matthews confirming that the basis of their RGB values...

I am trying to achieve the best possible reproduction of a spot color given an inkset, media, and icc profile. With respect to Colorant, my experience of the color editor feature is that it allows for the refinement of the ink build for a given spot color to achieve a better color match. My...

Many RIPs offer the possibility of trying to get a closer match to a desired spot color(i.e. Pantone) by using an iterative process and the operator's visual perception and/or spectro-based delta-e measurement. GretagMacBeth's Colorpicker and Colorlogic's Colorant can take one or more spot...

There is a now unsupported but probably still usable program known as Ghostview available here: https://gsview.com/ You may also want to consider using GIMP, an open source image manipulation program

I just found literature from Ashland, a major chemical manufacturer that makes inkjet receptive coatings suitable for solvent ink applications. I am not sure about their policy on small quantity/small business users. Attached please find a brochure. Pages 3 and 4 are what should interest you.

www.lubrizol.com/printrite Lubrizol is one of the larger coating manufacturers for both solvent and aqueous inkjet primer. The problem is that Lubrizol is not interested in smal business/small quantity purchasers, as a matter of business policy. Even so, my hope in providing this reference is...

Thank you for your reply RobertK. Could you please confirm for me that your Versaworks palette file is an adobe .ASE file?

I use Pantone Color Manager(PCM) to ensure I have the most up-to-date L*a*b* values for colors in various Pantone fan decks as used in RIPs and the Adobe suite. I use PCM exported L*a*b*/D50 ASE files or CGATS files constructed from PCM color text files to accomplish this. I was wondering if...

Ergosoft 16 now, as well as previous versions 12, 14, and 15.

The current Avery Traffic Jet Expert is actually a Mutoh 1682SR.

www.apdevices.com may help.

I would see if your RIP actually keeps track of this as part of production data. Ergosoft, Onyx, Caldera, and others may have this information for media and inks, at least.

Thanks for this clarification. Just wondering- when you say "not 100%", do you mean that with the M64S that there are certain MUTCD spec spot colors that are >3 delta e 2000 off with the CcMmYKGy inkset?
