Even with GCR set to 100 it's probably still making up a considerable part of the grays with CMY. Unless you've set your black generation to start at 0% which very few do. The neutrality is encouraging. Rules out a number of possibilities anyhow. How about tonality. Are they consistently...

Whew, I thought I'd been doing it wrong too. You can always reprint the test after you've entered the settings to confirm they're correct.

If you're applying it to a white car then it'll be fine. If the car isn't white then it won't be gray, it's just be a darker shade of whatever the car is. Unless you can lay down white as suggested by Marlene. Process inks are translucent. You can create a pretty opaque black, but lighter...

Carpet is baaaad for printers. You should install a grounding strap to your printer to help get rid of static if you can't get rid of the carpet. That's not your problem though. Your black head is FULL of nozzle deflections. It's simply not laying the dots down where it's supposed to. That's...

Post a pic of what's happening and you're ten times more likely to get a response that helps. Not that Pat wasn't helpful with his reply.

This where I was looking for information about whether there's anything consistent with the inaccuracies. Like do you see a consistent move to cool or warm in the color that would indicate an overall color cast. If you print an RGB grayscale, is it perfectly neutral across the entire tonal...

My macpro (dual dual core xeon 3ghz) cost me far less than that. Optioning it out on the apple store gets nutty expensive. My machine with 18 gigs of ram, four terrabyte drives, two optical drives and a 27" samsung monitor came in under $6K. Any idiot can install the RAM and hard drives in...

Print one as is and let it sit overnight and see if the creases come out. I would assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the winding of the material around the small core in the roll up stand should be enough to remove the crease. Especially by the time it has reached your customer on the other side...

I "get" the name for the previous company. It doesn't seem to work as well in the sign business. Make me think of some tweeker.

That one really deserves asking the client if they want a little help in "fixing" it up. Great googly moogily that's ugly.

Nice work, great story.

I've found the take up reel can stretch my vinyl out when printing long panels. I guess they're stretching due to the heat and tension from the take up reel. Once they cool off they shrink down and are smaller than the size they started at. Not using the take up reel helped me solve the problem...

I have a few prices listed on my website. Just enough to give people and idea of pricing, but not enough to give much away to my competition. I suppose the most useful thing for you though would be to note that I get more inquiries and close more sales on the section of my website that has no...

Define needs some help. Is there anything consistent about the inaccuracies you mention?

It wasn't meant to offend. I was simply trying to point her in the direction of learning about color management. It's a much more worthwhile investment of time, media and money than chasing color on an unmanaged system. It's also a big cost saver. If I sound a tad militant in my praising of...

Might be some sort of incompatibility between CS3 and a win7 64 bit RAID driver. Although I'd first investigate exactly what the error message seems to indicate. You probably have a drive that's failing. Seems to happen a lot more often these days. Maybe I was just due for failures after years...

I paid over 18 grand for a new mac Quadra 950 back in the day with 64 megs of RAM. Sounds pricey, but it flat out smoked the "high end" retouching station I had been working on previously that cost over a half million. It's amazing how far this industry has come over the years with technology.

My logo. I always thought that "Rooster Cogburn" was the coolest movie name ever, hence my selection of the name Rooster. Boring, I know.

Printing is a process that needs to be understood to be done well. It's not simply what happens in the machine when you press a certain button. Today's printers are capable of some amazing feats, but until we see industry wide adoption of built in profiling available in higher end flatbeds...

Any of the newer mac pros can handle 64GB of RAM. I've 18 GB in my macpro and it made a world of difference when jumping back and forth between applications. 96GB is just silly. Silly enough that I want 96GB of ram now. Damn it's tough being a tech junkie sometimes.
