I upgraded to a better CPU to use as my dedicated rip station.
My excellent tech support that always makes me happy to have them on my team comes from Advantage Sign Supply... but the color issues I was having, (trying to get consistent results printing old job files, on the same media with the same profile) was complicated enough that the support guy conference called into SAI & after having one guy help for a while, using a remote control to work on my computer while I watched his cursor fly around checking stuff... they ended up putting the tech support manager Darnell on the line & he really got things taken care of for me.
I guess seeing a familiar profile name show up in the Rip & Print window, does not seem to automatically mean that specific familiar profile is actually loaded properly, & being used on the prints output while that profile name is show as the output profile. Not something I understand much better then this morning... but now my reds are red instead of dark dark blue like this morning.
