Poor color management. Your gray balance is off and your neutrals are casted. Time to reprofile.

I tried to get them to give me a quote on a nice little catalog project, but all they wanted was more $15 business cards from me. They wouldn't even give me a quote on the project because I was only an affiliate member or whatever their lowest ranking was. Just as well. If I had heard about...

Unless Raster Link 5 has now added a built in profiling module that RL4 didn't have you can't create custom profiles, or even use outside custom profiles unless they were generated by the rasterlink profiling module. Rasterlink wants more money for their profiling module than many other RIP...

Here's what jumped out at me.

CS3 is still a very powerful program. You may run into incompatibilities between versions when accepting outside files and using an older version in house. You may also run into incompatibilities with your operating system if you're running the latest and greatest from either M$ or Apple.

Reminds me of the more modern day inclination. The message remains the same, always bring a towel!

If the problem is that your printed red is translucent and the screen printed ink is opaque then no you're not going to get the same color. Not without laying down a white underneath it. Process inks are translucent by nature. If you're just trying to match the red color on a white background...

Yeah, I'm not such a big fan of Dr. Helmuth. Although he's definitely gotten a little better over the years.

I agree the ink is very impressive. I'd love to see some samples. I haven't looked into it much but it's definitely on my radar. I think a solvent flatbed would be an ideal machine for this ink.

Was the file saved in onyx somehow? If onyx isn't saving the file I'd look for a hard drive fault. It's really the only way that the issue could occur if onyx is treating the file as read only. It may explain the randomness of the fault as well.

No, I'm going to wait for you to enlighten us this time. I'm not playing that game with you anymore.

By the time you're finished retrofitting a suitable heater to the machine you won't have saved a lot of money. The sepiax inks require 60˚C of heat to cure correctly. My JV33 doesn't even go that high. I doubt that little halogen light is working very well, as evidenced by the comments of the...

Really? How so?

Sounds like the 11880 isn't set-up for immediate print. In the left window tabs under unit options turn on the check box that says immediate print. Then as soon as the RIP has generated enough info to start printing it will send it to the printer while it finishes ripping the rest of the job...

It's amazing how little information you actually contribute to these threads beyond just calling other peoples information into question. What question are you actually referring to in your last post? I've seen no wandering off topic in this thread by anyone except you. I thought that...

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm still wrong, but happy to admit it as long I get to learn something new.

Just a little freelance jackassery during evenings and weekends.

I have no experience with Versa works for profiling, but that yellow curve in the original post has a a couple of awful spikes in it at 10% and 90%. If you ever see the curve flatten out that far or reverse direction like that, reprint or re-read your targets. It's not right.

The dual CMYK set-up seems to be the only way to get the kind of production speeds you're after. Or moving up to a higher end roll to roll that gets away from the epson heads and their speed limitations. It's tough to touch their quality but they've never been known for being the speediest...

That's a lot of volume for an epson. Good luck with that.
