Clarify what doesn't work. Maybe user error.

It is possible for the printer to drift, heads get old ect. If it was already ripped when you printed it from being printed previously, It should match. Try some gradient test prints of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Do 2 prints with icc on and off. See if they're smooth or if there's any...

So many reasons why. What file are you using? If it's a .eps, there's no embedded profile, so your rip doesn't know what input profile to use. That can cause issues. Have you used this Media/media profile combo before? if not, then the profile could be the issue. Try another ICC profile. This...

I have a niche market, Specialising on printing onto glass. But we are a service and we need clients who we can introduce this service too. We would research who we can target and go out and see them personally and hand them samples ect. And a lot of them would come back to us with work, either...

If the ink sticks to your the polyethylene but you're saying the white ink doesn't? Do this test. Do a high density solid colour print. For example print a black patch, But in the RIP you'll need to edit the ink on the job to print 100% black instead of say 10/10/10/40 or what ever your profile...

I use iStock, Shutterstock and Dreamstime which you've already metioned you use. Other than that i can think of is - Gettyimages which is the parents of iStock.

You don't need anything extravagant for that size. 2048 x 1536 res will do. or 3mp.

I just looked up what printer you have, i didn't realise it was a desktop A3 flatbed. I thought it was a production machine. Anyway, What are you trying to do with it other than to get it working? If you're printing on rigid a4/a3 materials, I wouldn't bother. I honestly suggest throwing that...

That's what i mean by you should be sending files how the print shop requests. If the shop prefers non flattered images ect, then that's how you should send the files. Most of my work is Glass, so mostly raster images/photos. If its signage or something else with vector lines, Then i'd like it...

i know what you're trying to do. If your machine can accept spot colours, Then yes, you should be able to get that ink mixed up to the colour you need. But it obviously required a system bleed of some sort depending on the printer. But i wouldn't do that. I would get a rep down and talk about...

Woah Woah Woah. Slow down guys. Lets handle this properly. Im assuming you're using the EFI H1625 LED listed in your name for printing on the acrylic? Ok let's assume that. It has White ink - Good. To have an understanding on how printing works, anything to do with putting ink or paint or...

Do some good research. The Oce Arizona can fit 2.5m wide rolls on it. and doesn't need to go over the bed. Flatbeds like the Swissqprint. have the media go over the flatbed, but can take 3.2m rolls. There's a trade off.

Most RIPs work with EPS. But EPS format does NOT embed ICC profiles. The reason you flatten images is so when the image is sent to the print shop, is so files don't get lost if the graphic designer forgets to embed an image. And if it's done to the correct size, well there shouldn't be any...

Depends on your work demand and if you want to get into printing directly onto ridged stock. Which flatbed? Do you plan to use the Roll to roll option on the flatbed? i ask this because some require the material to go from one side to the other of the flatbed and some have the rollers on 1...

EPS formats don't save ICC profiles, Therefore the colour will be messed up. If you where sending me files, I would rather receive a flattened PDF/X-4 with embedded ICC profiles. Or a TIFF for raster images. Realistically, you should be sending files how your print shop requests them. Not how...

If you're serious about colour, and matching ect. start looking at RIPs like onyx that have a swatch book option. With the swatch book, You either choose the PMS colour you want to match, or an LAB value that you get of a spectrophotometer Then print off the swatch chart on the material you're...

I don't actually have any idea what you're trying to do. Go through your steps what you go ect. might be easier to get help on what you need.

With the newer machines, those problems with the heads and other small things are addressed. Note that the Arizona work better when they're getting used! I bought mine because i liked the people standing behind the product. i have a very good relationship with Canon/Oce. I honestly would not...

We have good Oce support in Australia. Very good business model. I've had a few issues with my 480xt. Nothing worth complaining about on the internet. But Yes they are a solid machine, well engineered. Always updated. The colour and quality is amazing. I have clients that wont use other...
