Duratex 13oz Banner - colors not matching

Did you try using the Forward banner profile when printing on the Duratex?

 

Did you do Color calibration and create a new ICC?
How much use have your printheads seen?

 

Thing is color calibration can only change the limits so much. There is always a overhead that is calculated to the original color calibration but heads that have been used alot its possible they can't reach to that.

Now if the white point differs a lot between those two then that can also be the reason for this. But based on that picture you should be able to get it more close unless the old material you had and the profile was in reality the one that was out of spec all this time.

 

White point from Forward and Duratex is much different. Duratex is more matte though our 1500s deal with the color much better than the smaller format HP's it seems. We use Duratex a lot...had to manually dial in a number of our special colors for one client whey grimco discontinued their previous line of banner and they took over Agfa's line of product..>Duratex. Sometimes you need to go old school and start messing within the Lab color output and dialing in the CMYK values for PMS or Spot colors there. In Caldera it avoids the ICC profile and directly looks to modified spot named colors for us.
