Mimaki/Onyx question

[mmorse]

Fairly new to Mimaki and Onxy both. We use Poster shop for printing on our UV flatbed printer and have been very happy with the results. We recently decided to put our mimaki JV3-160SP online with Poster shop as well. We set up all of our media profiles and are having print results in regards to color. The colors either print very light or very dark, and always with a heavy yellow tint. We have adjusted color settings, dpi, almost everything.
What are we missing?!!

Our Mimaki prints Magenta heavy with standard profiles, Both in FlexiSign and Rasterlink, so we just reduce Magenta in the rip, usually just specify 80% magenta, other colors 100%, and everything is pretty OK.

Hope this helps?

If you have a spectrophotometer, try creating a new linearization table in media manager. This should help with some of your issues. Make sure you set the new lin table as default.
Also, input profiles have a great deal of influence on color. You must use the profile that was used during profile creation. For some reason, most media companies etc. use the "3M CMYK Matchprint" profile. Try printing a test file with different input profiles and see if you can get a match.
Good Luck!
