Hp Latex 110 Profiling

[Herrington25]

I have an HP 110 printer that I bought new many years ago. Its been a good printer for my purposes for the most part but one disappointing thing about it has always been the inability to print a decent red or orange. This printer does not have a photo spectrometer built in so Im not sure how that effects my ability to create profiles. Being that this machine was an entry level unit it did not include any training. How do I create the brightest reds and oranges possible with this machine? Im using Flexi for design and rip.

Just download some premade profiles from the media locator and try with some of those.

Without spectro you aint doing much more.

I find using RGB colors is better than CMYK, step and repeat a bunch of 1" squares and mess with the color sliders. print them out and start chasing the ones that look better.

The key is to more vibrant colors on a 300 Series printer is to print using a higher ink density. As a test, I would install the media package for 3M 3930 Traffic Colors v3. The Media Locator is here: https://www.printos.com/ml/#/medialocator search 3930 Traffic Colors and pull down the OMS package for the 110 printer. Install it to the pritner through the Embedded Web Server. Here is a video on this:

That media package contains a print mode at 12-pass using 150-percent ink density.. You should see more vibrant hues when printing to white vinyl films with this print mode compared to many other print modes that use lower ink densities.
