    Lol!
  2. Gradient Problems

    With some help from Custom_Grafx through email and some advice others have given in this thread I've finally got the desired result. Here's what I did for anyone who may want to know: Versaworks settings: Oracal 3651g Media Profile AdobeRGB1998 ICC Profile Perceptual Rendering Intent...
  3. Gradient Problems

    Nah even if I squeeze the levels I don't get the same kind of banding. I made an exaggerated pic so you can see what I'm talking about. The dithering/white noise would fix the pic on the left but not the one on the right, which is my problem. And yeah the more I mess with it I can tell it's...
  4. Gradient Problems

    Anyone have any thoughts on the "Preserve Primary Colors" setting? I've seen some people recommend it but I'm not really sure what it does. Is it only good in some situations but bad in others? If so, when should it be used? Thanks for all the input thus far!
  5. Gradient Problems

    No I don't see any strange light to dark to light bands on the screen no matter what settings I've used. That only shows up from the printer. I definitely see the potential problem from using relative colorimetric for gradients and will change that to see if it fixes it.

    I think you may be incorrect about the dithering. FTFA: The correct solution? Dithering. Just like converting from RGB image to Indexed image, dithering 16 bit data to 8 bit will provide a smooth 8 bit representation of the 16 bit color shades, to avoid banding. The reason they go into...
  7. Gradient Problems

    You've got me confused now. I'm not sure if I understand what the box that says "use embedded ICC profile" does. Is it referring to the adobe1998, us web coated swop, sRGB, etc. settings or to media profiles? The way I thought it worked, which may certainly be wrong, is that because you're...
  8. Gradient Problems

    Take a look at the link Custom_Grafx posted and you'll see what I meant. You start with a 16 bpp and save it down to 8 bpp with dithering to add noise and hide the banding. I found that in a different post and tried but it didn't resolve the issue. The problem I'm having isn't the same as...
  9. Gradient Problems

    I've improved the results considerably but there's still room for improvement. I changed from Pre-Press U.S. to Sign&Display and from my concept 201 profile to oracal 3651. Also I'm using a vector rgb gradient instead of a .tif from photoshop. Anything else I can do to perfect it?
  10. Gradient Problems

    I'm trying to print a grey to black radial gradient on a roland versacamm sp540i and it's coming out strange. There are alternating light and dark rings showing up. I've tried changing profiles (using versaworks), rendering intents, 16 bit gradients dithered to 8 bit, and I'm not sure what...

    Anyone know this one?
  14. Considering a logo change

    I like the original best also. 2nd place would be the one right under it.
  15. Your Christmas time-waster

    Notice they attempt to hide the pattern a bit by making it columns of 11 instead of 10. If it were columns of ten it would be a very obvious diagonal all having the same name.

    It's real, just google it.

    I'm looking for a place to outsource an order of 4 5'x5' full color circles that can be stuck to concrete and tile. Thanks.
