I would think the 'Get from print mode' might be the same as using the embedded profile if present. I do understand color management quite well, I've been supporting customers for the last 5 years with much the same questions as you are asking. As for what rip is best, I am biased as I work...

I am not a SignLab person at all, but generally when color management is set to OFF, this mean both the input and output profiles are ignored. Meaning the values assigned in the file (255,0,0 - or 0, 100, 100, 0) will pass through to the printer as is. Note: different rips will handle the...

II Jake- I would recommend checking the rendering intend for both Raster and Vector incoming data. If you have your Vector set to Absolute or Relative Colormetric I would recommend switching to Perceptual and testing. I can image the 'vivid colors' you mention will often be out of gamut. The...

+1 for Rooster's comment. Depending on the profiling package you have you may have few, maybe no options to adjust UCR/GCR. In the nicer packages you can tweak quite a bit. For the cheap and quick fix, if possible try different media. Different coatings, OBAs, etc can affect metamerism. Bryan

I have heard quite a bit about the compatibility mode. Having run it myself I would tend to downplay this option as a viable alternative. It is pretty much a virtual PC (ala VMWare, etc). Any software that uses dongles will most likely not work in compatibility mode. Also it was a huge pain...

I would doubt your rip times would reduce all that much either. The rip time is related to the output resolution much more than the file resolution. Either way, the original comment about the print being fast is very likely not correct. Print time will relate to number of passes, X and Y...

+1 on the pinchroller suggestion. Especially when talking about Y-axis shifting. I assume the cut gets worse as the media is feed more? If you have a particularly glossy media and something more matte or even a canvas, see if the shift is more or less between the two substrates. I would...

Kirk- Check out the help file in Softrip. It is fairly detail when talking about cutting. Check the section titled 'Device-Specific Instructions for Print now, Cut Later (automatic registration)'. One thing to note, when opening the file before printing did you see the 'marching ants' where...

Fuji Sericol are the only distributors in North America - but the do not own Inca. The company is named 'Dainippon Screen' http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-132930410.html Bryan

Rodi is correct. Screen does own Inca.

Stickerland- To use the FlexCut feature you will need to download the October 19, 2009 release of 6.6 - unless you have done this in the last two days then the 6.6 you are running is not the latest and will not have the FlexCut features. Send an email to wct@wasatch.com to ask for download...

Stickerland- A quick update on this thread. In the latest release of Softrip 6.6 (Oct 19th release) our Summa driver now supports the FlexCut feature. I personally ran a bunch of tests on this driver and am quite familiar with it. Give a call to our support department to get download...

Sean- No worries at all. Happy to hear you are up and working with no issues. I will also add my thanks to both Randy and Chris. I have always had good results when dealing with the Mutoh folk in AZ. If you have any further issues feel free to contact the Wasatch support line...

To add on to TJ's comments, regarding the Rip and Print suggestion you would need to have 'Hold for Layout' check in 'Unit Options' otherwise the print would start before you could add the job to your layout. Sean- I left a VM for you this morning. Give me a call when you can and we can...

this thread was going somewhere interesting, then ... took a turn into two people arguing and i don't think they are arguing about the same thing. Distaste for Pantone does not equate to lower quality or less accurate color matching. Rooster has obviously worked hard to develop his color...

The only part I would disagree with would be that I didn't notice the quote marks. Please disregard my comment with regards to your caveats. Next time I will try to fully understand what I am responding to. Cheers, Bryan

Rooster- I have been following this thread. I will agree with Jim's dislike of Pantone but I understand the issue is not with the Pantone people it is with people in the digital printing world being overly obsessed with PMS numbers and not understanding what they should be used for or how to...

I guess I was not clear. Rendering intents will have an affect any time an output profile is enabled. Note: if all colors in your file are within the gamut of your output profile the affect will have little if any net change. Biggest concern with rendering intents is out of gamut color. Bryan

Rendering intents can be ignored at this point. After the OP's last post he states printing from Corel works fine and saving as an EPS works fine. The question is what file type was causing the issue. I would guess .cdr. There is where your issue is. The color settings in Corel was either...

Joeutut- Just to be clear, you are attempting to print with just K ink for film production and not printing in a CMYK mode - correct? The driver for that printer is rather limited in the options available. I haven't touched any HPs from that era in a while. What resolution are you printing...
