Thanks for the response Gordo! Anybody else want to chime in on what screening they are running?

I work at a pretty large packaging printer that specializes in "high end" products. We usually print on either 24 point SBS stock or run single face laminate for our customers. We have recently purchased a new rip/screening package utilizing Harliquin HDS stochastic screening and I was wondering...

John, This was a great post! ColorPicker does indeed allow me to scan an object and give me LAB results (easy enough to convert to CMYK). Thanks for the suggestion. Jeff

Does anybody know of free software that works with an X-Rite iO device, which can analyze color from either a provided swatch (like cloth) or a printed sheet and will convert it's finding to either RGB or CMYK values? Thanks, Jeff

As I thought. Thanks to everyone for answering my questions, Jeff

Thanks for the information! I'm going to investigate the GMG driver and test the dot pattern on it. Now, I need to figure out the MXC file format, for some reason I'm only able to save MX4 files. This doesn't seem to work with the GMG driver (it want's MXc's). I'm thinking that MXC is a locked...

Thanks for the hint about the sharpening. I did try the 3d sharpening and it seemed to help, but... I seemed to be limited to using the epson drivers (when I try using the GMG drivers I'm asked for an MXC profile). Is it possible that different drivers will render different dot patterns and...

Hello, I am working with a GMG color management system and plotting to an Epson 9900. Everything seemed to be going great for me until I received another proof from a customer and it's small type was very sharp, whereas my proof has much fuzzier text. Seems like we are both calibrated to G7...

I have not changed the paper. We are using Chromaticity validation paper semi matte.

I am running GMG on a Epson 9900. I created my MX4 profile about 1 1/2 years ago and until now have been running just fine. Lately, when calibrating the Epson (with the GMG calibration wizard), my average delta E is fine (around .45) but my max delta E will not come down below 3.25. I have...

Fuji final proof Fuji final proof We have not adjusted our Final proof to G7 standards, but I have been told you do need to swop out your cyan with a Japanese cyan. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advise. I think we will get some assistance with the upgrade. Jeff

My company is in the process of upgrading our current version of GMG (4.5) to 5.1. The interface looks quite different than what I'm used to seeing with 4.5. My question is: do you think the upgrade is pretty easy to learn or would it be advisable to get in-house training? Would the application...

Thanks Thanks Mike, Thanks for your comments. here is my dilemma, Our sister company has another workstation with a non-UV cut filter and I have the ability of switching with them if I want too. What can I do with a non-UV iO that I couldn't do with the UV one. In other words, should I make...

We are using the GMG color management system and located at the proof control station, we have a UV cut filter on our X-rite iO. Can someone explain to me what the benefits of a UV filter are apposed to a non-UV cut filter? Thanks in advance, Jeff
