New Guy Epson S80600 color issues

[martinow]

Hello everyone!

I am going back and forward with my supplier. I think my prints are too dark and misses a lot of details, they say this is how printing works.

I simply think that the media profile they made has too much ink. Attached is a screenshot of the logo to print and a photo of the print.

It's 8 pass 720x720 CMYKcmkOR ink setup with CMYK output.

Any help is highly appreciated

Yes. Bad profile.

Where can I get a good one? How do I make my own? Using Onyx btw.

You'll actually get better printing by using one you download from Onyx's website than what you posted. I'd start there. Unfortunately for that newer printer there are only 3 profiles available, one a test profile, one for vinyl and one for some offbrand banner in two weights. Older printers have innumerable profiles available as they are developed and submitted.

To create your own profile, you have to have a high enough version of Onyx to be able to support profiling, and a colorimeter like an iOne or such. Then you go through all the steps in the profiler under media setups. It's time consuming.

Using Onyx btw.

You should have a set of test / evaluation files in your Onyx folder. Print them as a start for judging how your setup is performing.

May be a dumb question but it needs to be asked: is the printer set up as single strike or double/triple/quad strikes ? Multiple strikes mode is for backlit (usually) and gives out darker output.

Just sent you a link to a profile you can test with. Check PMs.

How do I check this?

I think EPSON running bad after some year, I faced this issue of different color spreading and lining. I did tried to check internally but by mistake their ribbon goes crack and I dropped to do myself.
