  1. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    some screenshots of the shifts in color. In theis image, colours were consistance before sept 15. Come back after the weekend, and the color is now consistant with the Sept 18 prints. This next image was taken back in March. These files were never re-RIP'd. We just release it as it is in our RIP.
  2. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    maybe this is a better option. We've reached out to X-Rite again and still haven't heard anything back from them since their initial e-mail response to us a month ago.
  3. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    we've reprinted sections we've printed months and years in the past without issue. Then one day, we replaced the the original dying print head and started noticing the shifting in colours. We've had a few print head changes since and the issue persists. no nozzles missing, the colours are...
  4. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    Thanks for that note. That sounds like something very helpful since we're consistantly trying to match pantone colours. It would be nice to not have to manually colour match previously printed colours and trust a hardware to do it for me. We do have Onyx Thrive, but I'll have to check what we...
  5. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    I remember when we first got the machine, I dont' remember having issues with colour shifting, but when we had to get our printheads replaced, we started noticing fluxations. When I first saw the colour fluxation, I created a set of swatches to check on the daily if the colours are consistent...
  6. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    it was weird and unfortunate and called for a half day of trying to match a colour I spent time matching to a pantone. The difference in colour was very noticeable since the replaced panel was near the middle. This was during the summer and not even 1 week prints apart, and with the same roll I...
  7. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    would you recommend that over the i1Publish Pro 3? That was the one we were looking at. We would also like to be able to measure a pantone from the pantone book and reproduce the colour in print.
  8. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    oh yes, we've run into this problem and are trying to come up with a long term solution. I have discovered that different production plants produce different white points. The main product we print on comes from different factories in different countries. We only accept the product made from one...
  9. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    We do try our best to to keep environmental conditions the same. We have an enclosed area with stable heating, and we try to keep a humidifier going to keep the environmental humidity stable. But of course, on extreme weathery days, humidity is the hardest to control with the large area we have...
  10. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    yes, we basically have 1 main quickset we use daily. On the most part everything stays the same, but there re-send the same job without re-ripping the job and the print comes out with different colours, slightly shifted
  11. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    This is the direction we were looking at going, but I can't find any information on this system. I've also been waiting to hear a reply X-rite for more information on the process for a couple weeks now also. o_O
  12. How do you keep consistent colours on roll to roll printer? (Epson SC80600)

    I'm printing on an Epson SureColor SC80600, and there are times where I have to re-print a section, or a patch for something I would have printed months prior. Sometimes the colours match, and other times, the colours are off. I keep everything the same, media, printer settings, same files...
  13. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    It's unfortunate that, by design, it happens with no options to get out of the looping prompt except for giving it what it wants. We were completely taken by surprised running out of ink from a brand new cartridge after an hour (30 minutes each time for the machine to make the switch to metallic...
  14. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    So the issue was resolved. Disappointingly, the only solution was get another metallic silver ink cartridge to finish off the cleaning. Solutions we tried: inserting a different ink cartridge; inserting a cleaning cartridge; selecting "[No] to not continue cleaning"; turning off the machine...
  15. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    Is this the Epson 80600 printer? What mode was your printer on? Was it 9 colour, or 10 colour (white white or metallic silver)? We've been stuck in this looping prompt twice now (first with not enough white ink to finish, second with not enough metallic silver ink to finish), and we've tried...
  16. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    Normally we also do, but we ordered this specialty ink upon client request. Metallic silver is not an ink that we normally produced or would keep in stock. I don't see any reason to order 2 cartridges to do 1 test print for several hundred dollars.
  17. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    Thank you, we've had to reach out to multiple suppliers to see what the earliest we can get this ink in, but the earliest any of our suppliers can get one to us realistically is Tuesday. This specific ink must be shipped by ground and not by air. What I'm hoping to find is an immediate solution...
  18. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    We've tried. The printer will just tell us to take it out and pop in a metallic silver ink cartridge. We're basically stuck at this prompt asking "you do not have enought metallic silver to complete the cleaning process. Yes to continue or No." If we say "no" it just loops right back to the same...
  19. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    It was a brand new cartridge, cost 1.5x more than the regular ink, but contains half the amount. We swapped it in, but then immediately had to swap it out to do a rush print with white ink, then swapped it back in hoping to finally do a test print for a client only to end up stuck in this...
  20. Epson S80600 stuck at a prompt, need a solution.

    We have an Epson S80600 in our shop. The issue we're having is when we have a special ink container (white and/or metallic silver), but I'm sure it also extends to the other inks on the machine too since it gives us the same prompt (not an issue for those since we keep a supply of extra inks...
