A few days ago we changed the ink on our VS-640 and the first thing I wanted to get out of the way was making the profiles.
I have made profiles both for the 640 and other machines and I never had real problems with it...until now.
For the Roland I basically follow this tutorial - http://support.rolanddga.com/docs/D...s/Manuals and Guides/VersaWorks_Profiling.pdf
When you are profiling a media for VersaWorks you have to create 3 basic modes...well you don't have to but I do it that way - High Speed, Standard and High Quality.
Profiling High Speed was very easy and I did it half an hour, the color correction looked good and the print quality was good as well so I went on to create Standard and that's when all the trouble stared.
I did everything exactly as with High Speed but the color just wasn't right, I'm not sure but it seemed over saturated to me. I first tried lowering the individual ink limits as well as the total ink limit slightly. That didn't help.
One thing that bothers me is that you have to judge the ink limits by eye, is there any way to do this with a spectrometer ?
After I tried playing around with the ink limits on Standard I tried printing a sample with High Speed and Standard with Density Control Only, which should mean that VersaWorks has no say in the ink limits and that it's all done by the profile. Even with only Density Control Only on both it still didn't look the same. I tried creating the Standard Profile 3 times and I'm sure that I did the ICC generation properly, I have ProfileMaker by the way, so the only variable that I can think of is the ink limits which I've set manually. One thing that doesn't make sense to me with that however is that even with Density Control Only set it still doesn't produce the same color.
So my question is how do I get all of these to have the same color correction ?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
