Gordy- I agree with threeputt. Sound like you have the fill color set to be the contour cut color hence lots of cutting you don't want. I don't know flexi either, but I would look for a fill vs outline color option. I could tell you how to do it in Illy really easy though. Bryan

You can connect to your JV3 with a print server such as a FastPocket from SEH. Without a print server you will need to connect via firewire. Bryan

A loupe is a fancy word for magnifying glass. Similar to a jewelers loupe, usually 8x or better ones are 10x. If checking calibration for print head replacement I have seen Mimaki techs with 50x - overkill for what you are talking about. If possible also check the UCR / GCR setting for your...

Ryan- I haven't looked at the docs in quite sometime. Probably since we released the drivers. Standard procedure is if the docs from Mutoh (which are confidential and I will keep to myself here - maybe someone from Mutoh can chime in) indicate there could be any color shift or color...

Hi Adam- Imaging configurations built for the 1604 are in no way compatible with the 1614 printer. If this is what you are attempting. The 1604 profiles will only work with the 1204, 1304, and the 1604. The 1614 driver has different variables, most likely the profile you are using will...

Joop- I am happily employed by Wasatch, hence the 'we' reference. Bryan

I have been waiting for these threads to start. Maybe our friendly Mutoh's contacts will throw a bone to our mutual customers. If not, you could weight your cartridge as full, then print an exact print of x number of inches. Multiply the area by the print resolution (i.e. 1440x1440 times 1" x...

Casey- Home Basic. I got an error when installing CS4 saying it required Home Premium or better. After the upgrade the install went through fine. I saw some docs from Adobe's page stating such. Enjoying the miserable Utah 'spring' weather. Not terribly happy myself. I am planning on...

Note: CS4 requires Vista Home Premium or greater. I got caught by that, took MS 3 weeks to send the update. Bryan

Jeff- I have done this 3 or 4 times. You will need to change a parameter in service mode. Once you flush the lines and connect the ink lines it might not allow you to select 4-color when prompted on the front panel. If this happens you will need to call Mimaki support to have them walk you...

Joe- I would look at your default RGB working space. If you are using a very large gamut profile like 'ProPhotoRGB' you could be designing in colors that will not be in gamut for the next person to view your file. At that point the rendering intent can do some pretty crazy things if set to...

Hexagram- I would look at the linearization curves applied to your rip settings. Also, if you could test the configurations with and without the ICC profile applied you could tell where the problem is being introduced. If the color shift is evident without the ICC then most likely your...

Fuzzbuster- I would guess you are going to have issue with this. Knowing how some rip drivers work, there are different data that needs to be sent USB vs ethernet for some printers that is. Sending data through a USB connection than converting to Ethernet will introduce issues. I can say...

Casey- As a heads up, Softrip will not work while running under remote desktop. The dongle will not be recognized. Bryan

Rep- I recommend to all of my customers to make sure their insurance covers their dongles. The cost of the hardware is a moot point. A DVD blank costs a few cents but the data on the DVD can be worth hundreds of dollars. Same with a simple USB stick. That USB stick will ensure my...

Fred- I'm not a paid member, and I don't post that much but I read quite a bit of the posts here. I am the team lead for support at Wasatch. I try to jump in when I can be of help. As for looking at code, I think that is a moot point. If you understand a product as well as a good support...

Messmedia- Your question on Versaworks = will only work with Roland printers. But as for the swatch feature, In Wasatch's Softrip program we have a feature called 'Color Atlas Generator' which performs the same basic feature. You can generate any number of patches for each specific media and...

Kotagraphics- Sounds like you are a bit trapped. If you must maintain color accuracy for the Harley Davidson Orange but are seeing ugly gradients - I doubt this will be possible without a measuring device (eyeone, dtp70, etc). Maybe that is an overstatement. Point is, you need to correct for...

signsbydale- i've found i can enjoy myself here, even with the overwhelming influence of one particular religion. plus, easy access to desert and the mountains - i am happy. bryan

Hello All- I have been lurking here for a while now and thought I would introduce myself. I am not in the 'sign-biz' but I work for Wasatch as the tech support team lead. Hopefully I can offer some answers to the rip-related and/or those ugly color management topics. Bryan
