I'd like to get some feedback from users that are using any of these two printers for contract proofing. I am looking into GMG for this solution. I've heard some feedback from another user that this is a good way to go. Thanks Ryan. I am particularly interested in the automatic scan that GMG can do with the Z3100's spectrophotometer to see if my proof is in the "norm".
Here are a few questions I have:
1) How long do you wait for your proof to dry before scanning your proof with the spectro?
2) Have you ever had to re-linearize your printer due to colour not being accurate? If so, is it an automatic thing? How long does it take?
3) If you create "screened" proofs, how accurate do you come close to your press sheet? Do you have any issues with this kind of proof?
4) What kind of stock are you using for these proofs?
People are telling me that Epson is the way to go but I'm trying to go away from that solution due to the Z3100s 12 inks (wider spot colour capabilities) & the fact that it has a built in spectrophotometer for quality control.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
