I run an Epson P600. It does the job for me. If you don't want it to "soak" the paper making a profile for it help. All epson printers have decent profiles if using their papers. But they do print a bit "warm" on purpose.

What are you planning to proof? You'll need a printer that can achieve a bigger colour gamut than your main printers can achieve. You'll get less colour with a laser printer.

Mimaki comes with raster link and Oce uses Onyx Thrive. Take that into consideration also. I have an oce xt480. newer version than the 300 series, except the 365 uses the newer heads that the 400 series use. Prints amazing. no adhesion problems. The oce will print quicker than the mimaki...

Didn't know you can run a spot colour in express. Quality layered is the same quality as Quality mode. You have an option of 3 layers, but if you use 2 layers I.e Empty|White|cmyk then it's quicker than doing a quality print twice.

Yes, So media profiles and icc profiles are different. I suppose you already know that. For those who don't, an ICC profile is the file that will match your RGB colours from your computer to CMYK process colours to the printer. A media profile is a file (different extensions for different...

self cleaning i would take out the picture. The newer oce machines are self cleaning to an extent. They just purge ink and vacuum the nozzles. You still need to swap with isopropyl daily or weekly depending on what media you use ect. Clean it your self and keep it clean. Heads will last you...

I wrapped this building with white printed clear float laminated glass. (that's why it appears green)

Short answer. No. You cannot create profiles from a newer onyx version and use them in an old. how ever you can use profiles from an older version of onyx and use them in a newer version. Why don't you just upgrade your production house licence to add another printer?

I use onyx X12. Software wise, there's nothing i need it to do that it doesn't do. Also works really well with the fuji printer/oce arizona. Colour managing wise. Everything up until the icc profile engine is brilliant. i just use different software and works well.

First off, How much are you planning on printing a day? The fuji acuity is a rebranded oce. the Oce arizona 365 seems to be their new "affordable" flatbed after the 318 GL. I honestly would take the EFI and the HP out of question. The problem with wood is that it's never flat. And having a...

How exactly are you setting up your files? Edit: If you're choosing fotoba though the placement drop down box, everything is automated. The only options you'll get is what ever is in that option menu next to the drop down box. Unless you use layout tool to order your images, then when inside...

+1 you'll need to make a profile for your canvas.

Not sure where you're getting at? I get the first sentence. But don't totally understand the second one? Someone else - i.e pay someone to create it or canned?

Simple and bold. You want someone to see it and remember it. The more crap you have on it, the less people try to understand it.

That's quite creative! That's neat! Sort of how i use my large cutting table. One thing i need to do is get my monitors mounted on a wall or a floating stand of some sort.

Youre better off creating your own or paying someone to make them for you. Canned profiles are quite average. And no, results would be bad if you use one from another machine.

Press it and it works

Still running 256 inks. Never had a problem really. I haven't thought about changing just yet. For the jobs we do, the extra adhesion isn't required. Hard to tell but all low iron is different also depending on supplier.

That's correct. all new machines from Oce are already fitted with IJC257 inks unless specified you want IJC278 which is a speciality ink for maximum adhesion but a very low colour gamut.

Doug, Changing inks doesn't cost you more than a new ink bag. Oce will recomend people to be using at least IJC256 inks or the newer IJC257. But foremost, If anyone wants to be a used Arizona, It's always recommended to buy one directly from Oce. And they will not want to sell you a used 200...
