  1. photography question concerning rights and ownership of pictures

    Without a model release he cannot use the images for any commercial purpose. Including self-promotion. Often these releases are found in the oddest spots. Like the back of a ticket for a sporting event or concert. Where you waive your rights to any photos that should happen to include you or...

  7. Question about Ink Limiting regarding grey balance curves

    I run my cyan (and magenta) way high too. Makes for great blues, the profile keeps it all in check. If it starts to wander, a relinerization brings it all right back into spec.
  8. Profiling -- yeeaaaargh!

    bbeens is correct. Although you might try using a saturation intent on things like excel charts and the like. You will likely see a massive hue shift, but it should maintain the deeply saturated colors of the vector based charts and spot colors. You definitely sacrifice color accuracy for...
  9. Gray... ugh....

    The way inks are rated is based on what's called "noticeable fading". Meaning where one ink has faded more than the others and caused a noticeable color shift. One thing people don't often take into consideration is that if the colors fade in unison they can allow for an up to (I think) 35% in...
  10. Gray... ugh....

    I should expand upon my earlier comments a little bit for clarification. For those not familiar with profiling or moderately advanced color theory. Most all inks experience some form of metamarism. Normally the color shift is too slight to really notice. A minor shift in hue in a saturated...
  11. candy apple red

    Reds are notoriously bad on inkjets and difficult to hit. Use a higher resolution and number of passes and you'll see your reds get deeper and more saturated. You need to lay down a lot of ink to get good reds. Don't expect to use the same profile you were before to achieve the results you're...
  12. Gray... ugh....

    What you're experiencing is called metamarism. The colors appear different under different light sources. The easiest way to cure this to to rebuild the existing profile to use less GCR. This will build your neutral using more black than cmy to make up the neutral colors. I had the same thing...
  13. MAC Users ? ? ?

    Looks like you could be running a copy of "little snitch". It pops those windows up and asks you what to do any time an application tries to connect with the internet.
  14. Epson stylus pro 7000 maintenance tank

    Try www.nationalparts.com. I buy all my epson printer parts through them. They've always been in stock with top notch customer service. But seriously use the maxi-pads. They work like a damn and are waaaay cheaper than the foam pads epson sells.
  15. What res. do you print at?

    Depends what I'm printing. Banners will be 540x720 12 pass or 720x720 8 pass, unless I need to hit a really vibrant colour then I'll go to a higher resolution and number of passes to get more ink laid down. For wraps its usually 720x1440 8 or 16 pass depending on the colors I need to hit...
  16. Epson stylus pro 7000 maintenance tank

    Just pull the tank off and stuff it full of maxi-pads. Works like a charm.

  18. Why you should measure

    I don't know what the hell's going on with this one sign I have in the shop. I've cut the damn thing down three times already and it's still too short.
  19. How long to wait before lamination?

    Depends on ink load and print conditions. In a low humidity environment with minimal ink coverage I will laminate as soon as the ink feels dry to the touch. With heavy coverage and/or high humidity I will wait 12-24 hours. A secondary benefit to waiting is that the media tends to no be so...
  20. Should you fire this employee?

    Boo Hoo, See ya asshole. Don't let door hit you in the ass on the way to the cop car out front. When the going got tough, his first inclination was to screw you. Sob stories are just that, stories. Actions speak louder than words. I'd be asking some tough questions, like how did you come up...
