color calibration

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...

I found that UCJV is quite heavy in comparison to my HP Latex. It's good and bad depend on the job. Wondering it's a way to calibrate the opacity/density/saturation in rasterlink? Or perhaps we can create our own profile, etc? Color is accurate just too saturate. Thanks.

Hi guys, it's been a while! I'm back here asking for some help with flat colors. I have to print a yellow box (#ffe600) on top of which there is a black logo with black text (#00000). This is the file that was provided to me (pdf) Now, if i print with my usual media profile, yellow came up a...

I'm curious if anyone is using a color measuring device in Flexi 21, and what kind they prefer? I need to calibrate our printer, the blues are printing purple, reds are printing either orange or brown (depending on if I tweak the magenta level) So I think it would be a good idea to do a...

Hello, So I had a customer who wanted a full color wrap. I choose to break it up in 2 horizontal parts so that i only have 1 overlap line. First i did the splitting in illustrator with a clipping mask, than i printed those 2 but i found out that there was a huge color difference. Then i found...

Hello folks, I'm very new to this forum but I'm interested in which software you work with for ripping. I am using Caldera RIP right now because it features a lot of different possibilities and because it's easy to get a workflow despite 10 machines with matching results! thanks for your...

I keep trying to color calibrate my 70/30 one way vision perforated vinyl. It prints the scanning pattern and once it finishes drying, it begins to scan. Soon after it just give me an error message "color calibration cancelled due to scanning problems" (pictures attached). Why is this...

Im in a pickle and use a roland XR 640. I tried fixing the color on a portrait being printed. Everything had a terrible red hue. I played with color settings inside illustrator/photoshop and the individual levels in versaworks. I also did a medium cleaning of printheads A & B. Then my coworker...

Hello, I have been working on building color profiles for our HP Scitex FB500 and FB550 (also a Mimaki UCJV 300-130) using Onyx 19. After building the profile i scan an IDEALAlliance color wedge 12647-7 and compare it to GRACoL2006 using SPOTON software and the results are very poor visual...

I teach a high school Graphic Design class. I have had to learn sign printing from the ground up, so I may be missing something obvious in regards to color accuracy. I have Caldera RIP (v.12) and a Roland SG300 print/cut machine. It's mostly amazing, but my biggest challenge is fine tuning the...

I am having trouble color calibrating my large format flatbed printer with Caldera. I'm using the EZ Media wizard to create a new profile but when I go to output a test target to scan the entire file is only a 2" x 4" .jpg which is way too small and blurry to read properly. I have tried to scale...

Guys, We print 99% of our wraps on 3M IJ180. I'm testing out Avery due to cost. I've set up the profile for it on our printer but the color isn't calibrated. I've done Color Calibration and it looks good but when i actually go to print something, the CYAN is off (I believe). Gray prints are...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for your input on what tools you currently use or have used to color calibrate your computer monitors to your printers and your printers to produce accurate color prints. Some backstory: We have a Roland XR-640 as well as a Roland LEC-540. We print graphics...
