  1. .cdl to eps or pdf

    As far as I know their is only one way to do this, and that is opening in signlab and exporting as pdf. Just remember that once you have saved it to pdf you cannot edit the text and some of the fades may not be correct as signlab can be a bit fussy with how it converts over. I would just keep...
  2. Caldera Profiling, greys seem to have a lot of magenta.

    I had a similar issue on a van we wrapped this week. I spent two days setting the grey up as it would swing green or magenta. The biggest issue this vehicle was for a printing company and should no the issues with printing greys!! SC
  3. It's Back!!!!!

    OMG with this site being offline it was like I was missing a limb!!! Good Work You Guys
  4. Mutoh outdoor printhead

    What model of printer. I reckon head/s are blocked after two weeks of inactivity. Check that ink is been pulled through as could still be another issue. Lots of work to get running again. The heads should have been left sitting in cleaning fluid especially for that length of time. SC
  5. cartridge turned upside down

    Where in the UK are you? SC
  6. cartridge turned upside down

    OMG He must of rammed the cartridge in to get it stuck. I reckon no matter what you do you are gonna damage something taking it out. I have just had a look on an old cartridge and the pin that pierces the cartridges would be out of place and is propably bent if he has managed to get it all the...
  7. A colour matching issue.

    Wow I am gobsmacked... I am getting no where near that sort of match. I too am trying to work out what you mean "I overprinted with more yellow to increase saturation" I noticed that your printer has an advantage over mine as my Mutoh Valuejet has 4 colours and your HP L26500 has 6. Is it...
  8. Mutoh Valuejet 1204 No Magenta - Please Help!!!

    I would probably guess it is an issue with the o ring damper seal or damaged manifold. I can't believe the tech did not change at least the seal on the capping station and then maybe the dampers. These being the cheap parts that normally rectify the issues. Can you post some picture of the test...
  9. Mutoh vj 1204

    I would check your reader contacts again. I have now replaced 2 complete sets of these due to them failing and the only way to check correctly is removing. You probably have a short on one of the contacts causing this issue. They fail even more due to the way bulk ink systems create a contact...
  10. A colour matching issue.

    Surely you are not suggesting that it is possible to print every colour avaiable using a CMYK printer? I truly think you are misguided or have been very very lucky or have the rest of us been doing it wrong all along? The issue is I have found is their are a few different variations for CMYK...
  11. A colour matching issue.

    I can foresee their will be further colour matching issues. Can anyone recommend a good and reasonably priced spectrometer? Cheers SC
  12. A colour matching issue.

    I have been setting the colour as LAB and have come across about 4 different variations and all still have the dirty yellow look. It doesn't matter how little or big you adjust it, this colour is a very difficult one to even come close. SC
  13. A colour matching issue.

    I personally do not get into colour matching as I believe you are always chasing your tail trying to match some colours with only a four colour pallete. What spectro are you using as I am thinking of purchasing one? SC
  14. Help! Random smudges and scratch marks CJV30-160

    I also reckon that is a material issue. Banner material is not particularly well manufactured and I have come across varying defects in some rolls. I don't think quality control is a high priority in such a cheap substrate. Mind you last year we had faults and contamination in 3Ms IJ180 on a...
  15. A colour matching issue.

    I tried this with no better results. The colour is kind of correct just dirty looking, if that is the correct term. SC
  16. A colour matching issue.

    This one I think will be impossible with a CMYK printer. The shade is right it is just missing brightness. I have spent another 2 hours this morning trying to get it better but no matter what I change or profile I use it is not right. SC
  17. A colour matching issue.

    We have a Mutoh Valuejet and I am trouble hitting, or even coming close to a yellow colour. It is a colour based on Oracals 651 range of vinyl. Oracal ref 020 RAL 1033 HKS 5 I have played around loads and just can't get it to look as bright. Does anyone have a RGB or CYMK reference that has...
  18. Another mutoh issue, waste tank filled up overnight

    More than likely the cap inner is touching the print head and making it wick the ink through the head. If I remember the black and magenta are on the same head so this is probably the issue. SC
  19. JV33 dirty yellow every day

    Personally I would replace the cap top and check the pump is pulling properly and their are no blocked lines in the pipes too and from the pump. SC
  20. Shop Drawings ?

    Oh dear scale drawings. I had a headache with the local planning last year who ended up being absolutely useless. I would send them a scale drawing and then they would print it smaller on their A4 printer and could not understand why it was was not scaling up to the correct size. Scream.... it...
