  1. Color consistency between SP-540v & VP-540

    It's possible that one of the profiles aren't as accurate as the other. There should be a way in your rip to see the ink mixtures of what the printer will print for specific colours in the image. Inside onyx i can get the eye droplet tool and just scan over the image and it'll tell me the CMYK...
  2. Suggestions UV Printing

    I am a business owner. I'm pretty sure Gino is too. I have experimented with many custom media profiles to see if i can print quicker, not that i really need to though. The bottom line is - The faster your print, The less of quality you'll get. That's that. no way around it. You can go to...
  3. Suggestions UV Printing

    Do you understand the whole concept with passes and resolution? The higher the resolution the more passes as the dots are smaller and needs more passes to make the ink dense. The lower the resolution the less passes it needs as the dots are bigger. But you risk colour gamut and quality. In...
  4. Right way for printing black and white picture?

    Edit your icc profile in media manager and go max GCR. that will use more black ink. We're from Prilep.
  5. Right way for printing black and white picture?

    Its your colour profile inside onyx. If your image is black and white already either in CMYK or RGB, the rip will convert it to a colour profile. If that colour profile uses low GCR it will use a lot more CMY instead of K so if the profile is not accurate it can have a colour cast like green in...
  6. Used Spectrophotometer and Versaworks

    For what you want to achieve, I'd be getting the i1pro2 publish package. or at least an i1pro2 and the i1profiler (you can buy it separate). i1profiler to me as given me more consistent results when i used it.
  7. Question Digital UV Printer applications

    If you're using canned (stock) ICC profiles. That's the problem. You need to either create or have someone create ICC profiles for the media you're using
  8. Used Spectrophotometer and Versaworks

    Nope. What you're seeing are the manuals and drivers CDs. Since now you're trying to get into colour management and step up your output quality, you'll now realise how expensive it can get. Anything to do with printer calibration isn't cheap. A spectrophotometer starts around $1000. and can...
  9. Used Spectrophotometer and Versaworks

    You're also going to need some sort of icc profile creation software. The guy is using profile maker5 in the video. I always advice to buy newer spectrophotometers, for example the xrite i1 pro2. There's a lot of different tyres and brands. And automated ones get very expensive. Some...

  11. business cards

    Depends what you want done. some companies do different things. My current cards are 450gsm with a velvet finish. and i also have a spot varnish on selected parts of my cards. I only have 1 supplier who can do that for me. I use them for more basic cards. they also colour match. All digital...
  12. Would your shop take this wrap job?

    So i wont send them to you? because then he'll get F****d around more then i would? ;) In all seriousness. Even though i don't do wraps. I'd give him double or even triple the usual price. if he says yes because no one else will do it. I'll be asking for 50% upfront. Then i'll outsource the...
  13. What products do you sub out?

    It seems smaller shops outsource larger items i.e banners, or flatbed printing. As i'm a flatbed printer and have a 2.5m roll. i get outsourced those things. I outsource small stuff like stickers or business cards, flyers...

    PC personal computer. But really it does refer to a windows base device. But i'm using it as a general machine. You can get viruses on mac or linux. not as common vs windows but it happens.
  15. WannaCry ransomware

    I always keep my operating system updated. And i always keep my software updated. You can use any anti virus software as you please, or any ant malware. You need to keep those updated to track the newest threats. Dont want to keep it updated? don't hook it to the internet. simple. transfer...

  18. Question Invest In Expensive Caldera Rip Or Go With Bundled Colorgate For Hp Latex?

    No experience with cheap RIPs but good RIPs like Caldera or Onyx can do quite a lot. They can process images quite quick. Also have powerful colour management systems. Im an onyx guy, so i'll get onyx. But what ever suits you. Onyx you can do a fully working 30 day trial. onyxgfx.com is their...

  20. Help with choosing equipment

    If you're primarily doing rigid. I would go with a true flatbed. IT is that much easier to pump out prints.
