So the Lexjet inks are working well on all the same media as OEM inks? I tried Staedtler refills a few years ago and they were a complete disaster.

Now I can see why the others are sick of you. Do you have anything meaningful to contribute or are you just bored?

Colorport doesn't give Delta E, therefore I'm just using the Chroma measurement.

You should try buying her flowers Eye4, and if that fails an expensive overseas holiday usually does the trick. I just took my wife to Thailand, never saw so much action from her - since she wanted to keep me out of all the brothels that are on every corner.

Not sure how effective it is really mate and it doesn't give the Delta e but it's better than the old squint and shoot approach I used to use.

Rooster, I use X-Rite's Colorport app to read LCH values for ink restrictions with my DTP41. http://www.colorxact.net/content/view/39/262/lang,en/

Luckily they can't buy skill and talent. Still, it hurts when that happens.

Update on this. It seems there was an seal dislodged in the ink line near the print head so it looks like we've solved the problem. By "we" I mean my assistant lol. He saved me a few bucks at a rough time financially, thankfully.

Eye4 uses a spectrophotometer, the densitometer's more sophisticated brother. You can't measure colour with a denso, just darkness.

Eye4clr is the man here. He taught me a lot about profiling, in particular setting ink restrictions by chroma. Good to see your input on this forum man.

I've used Onyx for years with the profiling option. It does pretty much anything you might need. If needs be you can set it up with presets so your staff don't have to mess with anything unless they need to. Re Cutserver I've found it doesn't like jobs over 2m or so with our Summa cutter...

No good. I syringed the air from the printhead connection and as soon as I pulled the syringe out the air just ran back into the line.. looks like the seal is shagged. I ordered a new set of ink tubes - Nearly a grand. Still, cheaper than a new printer especially when I just put a new motor in...

The pigment inks last alright but print quality is average being 4 colour. The worst thing about them apart form their speed is the fact the heads have no ink line to them so when they run low they have to stop the print and go over to the cartridges and fill up, usually leaving a mark across...

/Thanks guys, I'll try syringing and checking the cartridge seal.

Hi all. I had a problem running a job today. I replaced a light magenta head which was on it's last legs yesterday afternoon. Of course it was full black on Ilford polyester film, an expensive combination to screw up especially when the prints are 2.4 x 1.2 metre pullup banner prints. So I...

They promise to have simplified the ink restrictions step, but I'd like more info before taking that bait.

You can probably bash a nail in with a pair of pliers too, but messing with light ink restrictions because your prints are too dark is going about things arse about. If you can't profile your own media it would be best to find a profile that is closer to optimum for the media you are using.

Anyone used it yet? So what have they fixed and what have they broken??

I've had success converting EPS files from newer versions to PDF then placing them into Illustrator and flattening them - using the convert text to outlines option.

Try printing 0, 100, 100, 0 with ICCs turned off. Max inks should give good red.
