    Fast measuring of large numbers of patches. Important new tech direction, finally.

    Anyone with some real-world experience with this device? It seems it is actually on the market so it was not just a mad experiment... There is (and probably was not a year ago) a nice video on the ColorGate website explaining how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3IQ7Qpuc1M Does...

    Epson Redefines Fine Art Reproduction.

    I am sure you have seen this in the specification of the printer: This goes with this note: So it is defined only very roughly... You can find some results here (not for the new printer though): http://www.wilhelm-research.com/epson/ If asked about print permanence, I always say – before...

    Epson SureColor S-Series Printers Unveiled

    Yes, same thought here: why put red and orange ink in one printer? They could add green and come closer to the P9900 output in terms of colour gamut (although there may be an issue with the stability of the green pigments (is there?) and since the printouts of a signage printer should be durable...

    Epson Redefines Fine Art Reproduction.

    Hm, quite disappointed here... why could they not replicate the ink set of P9000? Wouldn’t it be logical to complete the series, make a high-end photo printer (i.e. maximum ink set available among other things) and be a competition for Canon ipf9400? I had really hoped there would be 64inch wide...

    Stuck in the caldera transitions module...

    a note on the measuring: what device are you using to measure? I assume you are measuring by hand since when using automated systems there are no messages about deviations caldera enabels you to set up your preferences for the measurng, for exapmle whether each strip should be measured twice...

    Stuck in the caldera transitions module...

    hi, it is done a bit differently in caldera... first, the global ink limit has a completely different meaning from what you are used to elswhere, it has nothing to do with "total area coverage" (TAC) or "rich black" and it can easily have a value 60... so, when you print targets in the...

    How disable face down in Xerox colour 550, wiith postscript kid - without rip

    I am not sure what "postscript kid" is... I know there is a verison with "internal/bundled" EFI Fiery RIP and with external EFI Fiery RIP or external Xerox Freeflow. I guess we are talking about the first option; I do not think a printer this fast could work without powerful enough RIP. All the...

    Could any CREO users help me out? (KM6500)

    well, you can actually install CW on a creo RIP server - it can be installed on any ms windows driven computer (and then connected to the RIP server by inputting its IP adress). but that is it, you wont be able to send jobs through it i am afraid... CW is really just a command interface, without...

    Could any CREO users help me out? (KM6500)

    (we have creo with Xerox Colour 1000 but I guess the RIP will be more or less the same for all presses/printers) ad 1) there is no preset function like in the fiery, you rather need to use virtual printers and hotfolders; go to tools in the main menu at the top and select virtual printers...

    Color management issue?

    there are differences between various rips as for the colour management settings and rendering intents in particular. in creo you can set RI (=rendering intent) both for cmyk and rgb input data, but regardless of the type (vector, text or raster). in xerox freeflow you can set RI independently...

    buying a new low-to-mid production b/w printers

    thanks for your input guys. to answer halmac's question about 6320 ultra, it is simply too expensive for us at the moment and we dont have the volumes. also, i think it is a good idea to have two slower printers rather than just one super fast - when it goes down you have no back-up... unless...

    buying a new low-to-mid production b/w printers

    we are about to get three new b/w printers, expecting to make around at least 250k/month on each (and probably not more than 500k). the new machines should replace two xerox nuvera 120 printers we have had since 2005 and one oc̩ varioprint 2090. We do need versatility Рprinting text as well as...

    creo vs fiery?

    hello, has any one got a new xerox clour 550/560 with the external creo rip? i had a chance to test the external efi fiery rip and currently i am testing the creo external rip. to my surprise creo is not doing as well as i have expected - i think it has got something to do with the printer...

    HP Z2100 question

    as for scuffing: you always should check the compatibility of the media and the printer, hp offers huge variety of media of all kinds which are suitable either for dye-based inks or for pigment inks (some work with both types, sometimes lamination is required/recommended). and yes, there are...
