Can you change your cutcontour color in your RIP to what theirs is? That'd most likely be the easiest way if you can, then just change it back when you're done.

Just an aside that as I look at it, and as I poke around at it just a little in Photoshop, what it looks like to me is that the main issue is a difference in magenta on either side of the line. And since the magenta is obviously printing at well over 90%, that would seem to me to kind of rule...

Just a couple points... Actually, while Onyx RIPCenter can be had for under two grand, it's not a very full-featured version. In fact, in some ways it is less robust than Versaworks -- given that it has no Media Manager -- and in fairness to Roland, I've always felt that Versaworks might just...

Printhog, Well, just to be clear: I didn't say it was necessarily the best solution to his or his client's situation, I just said it's possible to do. Jumpshout, Well that is what I do for a living. And it sounds like you could use my help, regardless of how this turns out.

Yes, you can get there using four color process. How good the print quality would be depends on your profile, and your printer, and how much control of the printer your RIP/driver combination gives in the profiling process. But it can be done, done well and done very consistently if everything...

Brooke, Email sent.

Flexi's okay. It certainly is a step up from Rasterlink. But Onyx and Caldera are both much more capable.

The problem is you've basically got two things working against you. First is that unless you have the ridiculously overpriced profiling module, it's not possible to make profiles in Rasterlink at all. And note that this is different from Versaworks, which can be used to make machine states but...

Brooke, Just to be sure we're on the same page here, helping people like you is what I do for a living, and I've traveled all over the world doing it. So traveling to you is not a problem for me. As far as knowing anyone in your area, well, keep in mind that it would have to be someone who...

Brooke, Well, I'm not in your area -- looking at the map, who is? -- but I can come get you profiled and teach you a good deal about using your machine. When I get done, you'll have profiles on all your media that will work, yes including reflective, you'll have a rock-solid color workflow...

Hey Andy, First, thanks for the kind words. That's really appreciated. Second, though, if you read down to my edit, I do have to say that it's not quite as cut and dried as I wrote here. Making a machine state is absolutely key to making a profile that will do everything you want it to do...

The best way to match colors is first to have absolutely dead-on profiles of all your printers on all your media. Then either use library colors such as Pantone, or for custom matches -- even including samples printed by competitors that were supposed to be certain Pantones but really aren't --...

Thanks, Printhog, contigo, What I'd point out before you get too far into this is that the plain fact is in the end you'll get better results and spend less money in the end by hiring me to come set up color management for you than by trying to learn to do all this yourself. If you want to...

Bottom line is really pretty simple: The advantage to making an RGB profile is that all of the printer control (machine state) features such as single channel ink limits, ink splits, multi-channel ink limits, black generation... everything, are done internally somewhere and you have no control...

It's easy enough with a true backlit profile. The problem is that true backlit profiles need to be made with a transmissive spectrophotometer -- so that the reading light shines through the image as if it was backlit, as opposed to reflecting off of it, as if it was frontlit -- and there aren't...

I'd give Vanguard a look as well. One of their printers won SGIA Product of the Year at the last SGIA show -- running a Correct Color profile. They also seem really concerned about getting it right at every step, and they're the first printer I've seen come along since the Oce came out that...

There is no Onyx driver for the R330 or R320. There's also no Caldera driver. No Flexisigns driver either. And yes, Versaworks is Roland only. But all of these RIP's are large format RIP's, and the small R series Epsons are not considered large format printers. My suggestion would be that if...

Fred, You explained my issue exactly. Thanks. Jaquii, Your new "View All New Forum Posts" button solved the issue for me. Thanks.

Well, yeah, I suppose it could be that 'in my head' I read "Just tried it and it is working for me" as curt, when in reality it was really an exhaustive explanation of how you thanked me for alerting you to an issue, apologized to a paying customer for the problem, and were assuring me that one...

"Just tried it and is working for me." That's a pretty curt reply to a paying customer. It's not for me. Are you telling me you don't intend to fix it?
