Here is a pic of a print that I did. I know it is blury, and that it is subject to you monitor. But I just wanted to show everyone the difference in the reds. The Swatch on the left is of a pattern fill that I made from 255 red a long time ago. I tried to recreate this now, and can not get the...

I was thinking about it. My "Problem" could be in a few areas. One, in signlab's rip (and print mode package) I think color management is turned off. I think when color management (I think that is input profiles, in the print package) is turned "off" it is set to use "Get from print mode". So I...

Thanks. I though that using CMYK to try and make my colors would be best since that is what the printer prints in. I think (Not sure) that the Max ink part of making the profile is "Crucial" to making the colors come out right. So that has been the part that I have been messing with the most...

Thanks! I profiled my monitors with the i1 already. I did notice that in Signlab, the best (Closest to print out) was when I turned Color Management off. I have 2 computers that I use (Design on one, print on a dedicated printer computer) The one i design on has a real bright (For out doors)...

I know what you are saying about maintenance- went through cap tops like crazy!!! Most of the problem is that if you don't use the printer daily the ink drys in the hoses on the cap tops (I really have to find out where to buy just the hose) The step I am at now is- I am setting max ink for the...

I considered going back to Roland ink, But bought 4000ml of each color of Tech Ink. It was A LOT of money. I am playing with making profiles all night. One thing I was unsure of is- what "Base profile" to start with? The profile I made in the past has real good dot seperation (I think, looks...

Ok, finished setting up a profile using the method in the link that astro8 provided. I got back to where I was last year (That's a good thing) colors not bad and believe it or not as close to the screen colors as they could ever be. I have a couple questions- Will the profile that "Start with"...

Thank you everyone for all your help and your positive input. I will keep trying to get it somewhat close, I just need it to be decent, not looking for prefection. I am going to countinue to work in the signlab to try and get this right, if all else fails, I will try to get it to work in...

Didn't know what you ment by are you Forbie, I thought that was some sort of slag for a bad printer or something. I just noticed a post by a guy with screen name "Forbie", No it is not me, but pretty much same issue. I tried signing up on Cadlinks fourms, but link is not working for me. I have...

Thanks for all the input. I am not really worried about the printer matching the monitor so much. I just would kind of want it somewhat close, meaning a red looks somewhat red, not light ping. I know the screen is never going to match the monitor because light (especially my monitor, Ultra...

Thanks do much. I am hoping to get atleast close to the colors I want without spending another $4500. I spent a lot on my hobby so far. I bought so much software, most of it I don't even use. I bought 4 copies of signlab and I am only using 2 of them- wasted alot of money!! Like I said, it is a...

Thanks for the link. I actully found this a couple of weeks ago and tried it. But the monitor is way off when I use these settings. So I didn't go any further with it. I will run through the whole thing later and post my results. Thanks!!

The roland Ink took a long time to dry. My printer was just service, new Main board, new print heads, dampners, wipers, capping station, etc... All back to factory settings. I rebuilt my computer that I print with (XP Pro SP3 32Bit) already, I thought that might have been the problem. I love...

I have been working with the SignLabs techs on this for the last year. Basically the way they told me to it, was to use the built in print mode wizard- I did and now luck. Read all the help files, They read like Japanese's stereo instructions. I am not a sign maker by trade, and do not do this...

OK, I am in need of a little help (or a big drink!!). I have a Roland SP300v & I use Tech Advantage Ink. The software I use is SignLab Print and Cut 8. My problem is this- Colors Suck!! SignLab claims to have a better RIP than VersaWorks, but if I print something out in VersaWorks, it looks...
