Achieving Vibrant Colors with ES3 Inks

[Blazing_Murph]

Hey Everyone,

Im working on a project currently where the client is looking for a graphic using Pantone 1505C. I run a Mimaki JV300-160 with ES3 inks and Im having a hard time getting any vibrant oranges. I have a CMYK setup and im starting to wonder if my setup is capable of hitting that 1505C color range. The blue in the graphic [Process Blue] is accurate with my current color profile. I guess my question is, is there any tweaking I can do to my profiles to achieve that color or will ES3 inks just not reach that vibrancy

Just print any pantone booklet so you will have an idea about gamut and achievable colors along with theirs mixtures

i guess that is why one of the options on our roland was CMYK Org Grn

good oranges are very hard to hit using CMYK inks. Some printers have now added Red Green and Orange inks to hit a better gamut

 

[netsol]

the org & green gives you the full gamut, but, those colors are the first to fade...

Thanks for the replies. My client is pretty adamant about the color match on Pantone 1505C. Does anyone happen to know a wholesale printer that will run accurate color matches for your files and ship them? We just tried using signs365 and asked them to color match and the results weren't much better than what we can produce. Any help would be appreciated, thanks again everybody!

MY SUGGESTION would be to contact wyldgfi
see if bill can do this for you
he is local to you (linden) which should be a big plus
we have ALWAYS been happy with his work, (i have not had to do a pantone match, but, i am sure he will discuss with you
they are a very reliable trade printer

Pantone 1505C

Seek for epson 70/80600 or roland rf owners with 8c ink setup. I bet u can't get close enough without Or inks

Thanks! I was sort of assuming the same about the Or inks, I'll look out for some printers with those machines and set-ups.
