Yes and everybody that has one should also have a spectro to read the Lab values of the Spot Color side to import into the Pantone libraries of their RIP if the named Pantone Spot color is not accurate within the gamut of your output device. But whether you use Lab or CMYK that needs to entered...

Whoa here. Most of the time I agree with, but this time I have to strongly disagree. You didn't really mean what you wrote here did you. If you did that is sure to give the wrong impression as maintaining correct color on digital output devices is just not that simple. After almost 20 years of...

I could always start SAV on at the leading edge with the L25500 too. But the heating is different on the L3xx series. The problem is that the curing is done in one spot soon after the media leaves the platen where it tends to stay up a little and get into that curing area and get hot and catch...

Yes that is correct.

You might want to clarify your first sentence here. Your second sentence here is way off. Don't know where you get "hp requires you to load the media onto the take up reel before beginning a print job". I can start a print job with lead edge on the platen for most media except SAV which has a...

You have eluded to this a number of times in the past. Inquiring minds would love to see your list.

Same files to different output devices, many times. Jobs don't always need to match but if they do, take the lowest gamut device profile and use that for simulation on the higher gamut devices. Now you are finally explaining yourself. The RIP/output device is where these tweeks as you call it...

Are you talking to the OP since he is the one with the issue? But what tweaks, where? If on the input side then do then have multiple files tweaked for every output device?

I am asummimg you're rotating every other panel. You didn't mention it, but you are aren't you?

Don't see where there is a guess work reading LAB values into the RIP with a spectra. Named Pantone Spot color printing to a properly profiled output device with proper LAB values in its Pantone Libraries is no guesswork at all. Then the only limit is the gamut of that printer. You sound like...

I would have thought that was common knowledge to flip every other panel of a tiled job, but that has to do with color matching, don't think it would have much effect on length though.

How are you reading in CMYK values with your spectra? Pantone libraries in RIPs are in LAB values.

If does you're lucky. If it doesn't you just have to print the other panels. There is no way to know for sure short of printing the panel.

I ran a bunch of Phototex about two weeks ago and had OMAS enabled. Only around 8' or so and the ones I tested were within a .25". If I remember on the L25500 I had better success with OMAS off. Might be worth a try on the L360. I believe that OMAS's job is to minimize banding and will try to...

Do you have OMAS enabled in your media setting on the printer?

Page and any links to this file have no been removed. Interesting. Why is the back of the printer being shown. Maybe that firmware listed is bogus too. That might explain the problems.

For retractable banners printed on the Latex this is my favorite. http://www.advantagesgs.com/Opti-Solve-Gray-Blockout-Gloss-6-5-mil-36-x-100

Sounds like you're being limited by the gamut of the printer. One thing to look for is how large of a gamut does your profile target look to be? If it looks like you could get more gamut out then you might have a CM error in the print stream. The other thing that could be tried is to print a...

Have you read with a spectro the LAB values into the RIP from a Pantone book with spot color? Seems when I ran Colorgate I usually had to read in new color values for high gamut spot colors. The Spot name is correct, right?

Yes, if you run Windows. No body is allowed on the internet from Windows or to open any achieved files on Windows around here. That is grounds for automatic dismal. Windows is only used for RIPs here anyway. All work is done on Linix or Mac os. If I could download it I would let you know what...
