Flexi is one of many possible technically appropriate options for printing, inclusive of Caldera, Onyx, Ergosoft, EFI, Colorgate, GMG, Wasatch- whatever RIP you want. The color swatches needed for traffic colors are just L*a*b* numbers that can be readily derived from the MUTCD specifications...

I'm confused about something with the ink configuration on this printer. On one hand, they have claimed the printer can achieve all the required MUTCD colors using CcMmYKGy inks, and then they mention a set of spot color inks as well. Just wondering what is really going on here.

I don't think you will be able to consider Ergosoft, Colorgate, Wasatch, or GMG in that price range, as your initial brand list was very extensive. You may be able to consider Qimage from www.ddisoftware.com or Mirage from www.dinax.com.

What is your price range and what simple things do you minimally want to do?

I was wondering if anyone might know whether the extended gamut(orange/green) inks of the VG2-640 fade rapidly like the RF-640 red, orange(especially) and green?

Thank you for sharing your experience and providing these links. A point of information- the links you provided, both for the unit and its filters, show them to be unavailable. Might you have tried some of the other similar products that are available and could you mention them?

Pantone Color Manager software with an i1pro can measure a target color and report a close pantone match from any of the pantone palettes. xrite/pantone's Capsure device is also designed to measure a color and return closest pantone match.

It's sad that the permanence isn't better- many useful applications can't be done without better extended gamut ink permanence such as fine art, photographic, and more.

I was wondering if anyone has done any testing/experimentation to see if the poor permanence characteristics of the extended gamut inks of the Epson 80600 and Roland RF-640(8 color) can be improved by using liquid or film laminates with uv/hvls protectives? What results did you get?

Joe- thank you for that information. A clarification please- my understanding is that a delta e of 6 in most situations is perceivable by most people. Is this correct? If so- is there any indication when the RF-640 orange reaches a delta e of 6? And lastly- does a coating with uv absorbing...

joedg- thanks for the info- may I know the source of the permanence testing information, in terms of both who did it and the exact nature of the testing they did? yohann- Is the machine working well for you? Have you had to repair the machine at any time in these four months? Just to mention...

Roland just recently announced that they will be offering this printer in the US: https://www.rolanddga.com/products/printers/versaexpress-rf-640-8c-large-format-inkjet-printer I will be interested to see if they have any permanence information on their inks.

I don't understand what makes these new HP printers so special, and the gamut claims given a 4 ink system seem dubious. How much of the Fashion Home Cotton TCX deck do you expect to be able to reach without OGV inks?

Roland seems to offer the VersaEXPRESS RF-640 8 color only in the UK. I was wondering why they are not offering this printer in the US because this kind of potential gamut has some real value. Anyone know? https://www.rolanddg.co.uk/products/printers/versaexpress-rf-640-8-colour-printer

Please forgive my improper use of the term 'everyone', and thank you for mentioning the other rip software that also provides this feature. It strengthens my question as to why Caldera did not implement it.

Onyx Production House can retrieve the media configuration information from the x400 series of canon printers. For some reason, Ergosoft and Caldera choose not to implement this functionality, purportedly because the SDK canon provides them to implement their printer drivers may not support...

Colorthink Pro from Chromix helps you see how an image's unique colors fit within the posssible gamut of an icc profile

edited- the files I originally referenced do not pertain to this class of paint, sorry.

Just to help a little- printers are not inherently contone- the issue of whether a given RIP can allow for halftone or contone operation is based on the policies of the printer manufacturer with regard to what control information they are willing to release to software developers. After that, it...

ergosoft posterprint may work. Clogging may be a risk, especially for white.
