    Ventilation Questions

    Do most of you have extractors in your work environments? We are starting to install more machines, and I just wonder if there is a need for an extractor to remove the fumes. I understand there is a difference with colour machines to black machines.. Black copiers create more Ozone by arcing...

    Looks like we'll be getting a 700 soon..

    Have you tried setting custom paper profiles and adjusting the image transfer so that you can use non xerox media? We were mortified by the results on some of our stocks, but adjusting the image transfer produce comparable results to the xerox stocks, though the xerox stocks were still nicer.

    I finally sorted out my issues when creating a profile for the Xerox 700 Turn off all 'expert color settings' - i was led to believe that EFI Color Profiler Suite embedded fiery settings when producing the swatches, which may be correct - however this did not produce the right results for me...

    Xerox 700 colorcal calibration problem

    I think this is my problem when creating media profiles... The printer should be printing the swatches in a raw state. So outputting the swatches with a colortech profile is screwing with the IT8.7/3 target. I will give your method a go today and try a few other options - such as 'colowise -...

    Xerox 700 colorcal calibration problem

    Xerox 700 colorcal calibration problem

    Results from the ES 1000 This is what my output is like with a profile made with the ES 1000 (see picture), top sheet is from a IT8.7/1 patch measurement with no adjustments, bottom sheet is the same profile with heavy adjustments to the DMAX to get an acceptable print. My Xerox tech are...
