Speaking of printheads.
For a lot of years I ran printers with Epson style heads Epson, Mutoh, etc. All the constants nozzle clogs were one big PITA. About 10 years ago I replaced a aqueous inkjet with a Canon. After printing with the Canon for a short I while got to thinking what in the hell...
Biggest issue I had besides the calibration not working was the lc/lm head was malfunction and seemed to me to be throwing way more lc ink down then it should have been. I supposed if pink is the issue it would be the lm ink.
Once that was changed color has been very stable. Don't know if that...
Hows it going on your end?
I have been Linearizing and Profiling my most used media the last couple of days. I changed printheads after profiling the first media, just to then test re-linearization on the RIP and was able to bring it right back in line with where it was before the print head...
Anything less than 54" will do smaller calibration targets and only read them once. 54" will allow bigger targets and reads each one three times.
If you don't trust the onboard calibration (which some of use are finding out to not work correctly) than 36" would be enough.
Well they can do what ever they (HP) wants but I am not touching any CM on the printer again. I am a going to be doing all CM on the RIP from now. Every media calibration can say Recommended and it's going to stay that way.
Now I will say that I am pretty sure that my lc/lm printhead was...
I understand what your saying, but my point is, that it is now quite obvious that the CM on these printers can not be trusted. That is why I am moving everything to the RIP. Whatever they want to do with their firmware or just the changes as the printheads wear from usage or need replaced...
Interesting.
I just talked to a HP tech and when I mentioned the invalidating all previous calibrations and profiles with the last firmware his response was, Oh yeah.
My tests are confirming the same thing as yours. All existing media calibrations and profiles before the last firmware are junk and there is no way to get them back. Like you I tried the reset calibration and then do a calibration which made really no difference. It was still way off. The...
I was forced to do a new color profile today so I thought I might as well test this.
First off I re-calibrated and did a new profile (RIP based) on 12-2-15. I loaded the latest firmware .12 on 12-9-15. Today I loaded the media in question and it said obsolete, so I did a calibration. OMG was...
I often wondered what these flatbed laminators cost given that they are so limited compared to roll to roll laminators.
Interesting comment about the line in the middle. But, this is how I do signs on our double roll to roll laminator and never see lines in the middle. Must be operator error.
I am going to test this again. Since I have only recalibrated and created a new profile for a few medias since the last firmware update I might as well go back and revisit this.
I tried that at one point and can't say it was of much value if any at all. Anyway the real problem with the ink...
I don't think it is advantage to do ink limiting/linearization with the RIP on the L3xx series, in fact in my testing it limited your gamut. What I suspect is going on is that with my RIP anyway the inks are printing pure as they are supposed to be when printing ink limiting/linearization...

With the L360 at least use 10pass 120% ink density and make sure the Optimizer is not set any higher than you need, as it is figured into the 120% ink density. The lower optimizer the more ink you can lay down. I would just do a calibration on the printer but then create your profile with Onyx...
