I have problems printing read on y machine. If I have to print something with red in it I have to flip my profile up to quality 5. Thing is it lays down tons of ink,over saturated darker colors. I don't like it really but have no choice it seems. Has anyone else had this problem. We even had the machine profiled and it came out even worse. I need more info on the quality settings that pertain to the ink saturation levels. The quality settings seem to effect the saturation and ink flow. I have looked at the chart on the Mutoh site and it means nothing to me. I need plan English as to how the settings effect each other. Thanks --Phillip
Just changing your 'Mode" to Quality 5 makes your profile invalid.
You must use the 'Mode' that the profile was designed for to make ink limits and color correction valid and controllable.
Quality 5 uses a larger drop size set than Quality 4, even though both are 720 x 720 8 pass, which is why you are seeing more ink.
Changing the 'Mode' often time completely invalidates a profile.
Changing any of the parameters with alter the 'profile' usually with inconsistant and uncontrollable results.
The diffusion, ink restrictions, ink limits and icc color correction are ALL part of a profile that controls how much ink is placed on the media and what colors those amounts and proportions of inks produce.
Profiling outdoor media is still a bit of an artform.
And color management is critical to being able to
control your output.
That means that the color space that the artwork is created in must be defined and controlled so that the RIP can properly interpret that color space and best match it to the profile.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to save the file as a .tif with an embedded profile.
