Pauly, Just because it appears to me you're still looking for something that isn't there... Onyx does not do this. You can do an emulation in Onyx, but it's a completely different path, done in a completely different way. And the thing is: You never really know what you'll find when you go...

Thank you, Stephen. Asures, You're spending a lot of time here trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. Large format inkjet printing isn't lithography, and the same rules and processes just don't apply. For instance: "Trap" is a term used in lithography, but it doesn't have any real...

Pauly, Interesting stuff... But it doesn't work that way. Of course one of the problems in situations like this is that if I don't see something myself I don't know just exactly what happened... But I can tell you that while I have some pretty well-documented issues with the Onyx ICC...

Well... http://correctcolor.org/colorbycorrectcolorvsg7.html The problem is that there isn't a dye-sub standard color space because there aren't any dye sub standards for white point or color values or density and there aren't very likely to be any anytime soon. So the thing to do is profile...

Are you inkjet? And how many different fabrics do you print? Mike Adams Correct Color

First thing to do is to tell the client that this is going to cost them some extra money. Keep in mind that in actuality, all any Pantone color is is an ink formula. If you make that ink formula correctly, and print it properly, then whatever color you get on whatever media you use is that...

One of the oldest truisms in printing: It's not the press, it's the pressman. Mike Adams Correct Color

arossetti, Because linearization measures dot gain, and dot gain is going to be at least somewhat different on every media. ICC profiles don't compensate for anything. They characterize a certain device reproducing color in a certain state. Their function is to convert L*a*b* values -- pixel...

Pauly, Glad to hear you've gotten somewhere. However, here's what I'd point out: You're in Australia, so that may be the case in your case, although even at that I'd argue. Look at all of the time you've invested in this, and keep in mind that as a business owner, your time is your single...

Myself, I'm still wondering what you can possibly become "expert" at in three days.

No, that does not hold water. What an ICC profile is is a characterization of a device reproducing color in a certain state, and linearization is a key component of that state. Fact is that if you're serious about color management in large format printing, the only option is to profile every...

Typically the way Onyx installs is that it first creates an Onyx_Install directory... somewhere. If it has done that, see if you can find that directory. It should be on your C: drive, but sometimes Onyx has been known to drop it into some weird places. It also may be named Onyx7_Install or...

You're more than safe at 150. 100 is actually almost always fine to final print size. Mike Adams Correct Color

Gordo, You're absolutely correct, or at least you should be. N-Color or Hi-Fi inksets --as they are also known -- are not at all uncommon in large format printing. In fact they're pretty much standard in high-end fine-art aqueous machines these days. Also there are several weird color...

Jayhawk, My understanding on this has always been that whenever a postscript file -- eps or pdf -- has a named spot color within, it also carries what is known as an "alternate description" of that color, which is -- as I remember it -- the CMYK value of the spot color in whatever color space...

Stephen, But keep in mind that there used to be a Pantone Yellow C, and a Pantone Process Yellow C. Although it looks like they may have dumped "Process" Yellow -- and Magenta and Black -- along with the Hexachrome colors when they went to Pantone +. The Lab value for the old Pantone Process...

Sure. Lots of people know what they're talking about. Just not these people. It does so happen that in large format inkjet printing, there are several different versions of CMY and K. But in litho, as you say, if you buy a can of whatever from whoever, it'd better match the ISO standard. And...

Pauly, In that case, I'd also try again using M0. Mike

Stephen, White point is 94; 1; -3. I think he said he did the readings on the media files he sent me with a Spectropad, which if it's like every other Barbieri device, defaults to M0. And if not a Spectropad then an LFP, which defaults to M0 as well. I guess this could be OBA's. But with this...

Pauly, Okay, I looked all through what you sent me, and found a few things: First is that your linearizations are fine. They're not what's causing your issue. I will say though that I do think there's a fair amount I could show you about profiling in Onyx that might make a fair amount of...
