    Software for evaluating spot colors

    Colour is only spelt incorrectly to americans ;) Not what you're looking for but i use Barbieri gateway. It just wont give you a report and only works with their devices. but good for simply checking spot colours even over time. You could actually write up your own excel document to do what...

    Getting a closer match of UV flatbed prints from various print suppliers

    Some shops might not bother making a profile, either they dont have the tools to, or don't want to pay someone. Unless the job is worth their time. I how ever am usually happy to make custom profiles for other medias. But i would ask my client to provide X amount of material to use to profile...

    Getting a closer match of UV flatbed prints from various print suppliers

    You said you're supplying them your "white stock" There can be many issues. 1, The print supplier doesn't have a specific profile for your stock so they're using a generic profile. or a profile they think would work. 2, The other print shops are probably doing the same. 3, If they have a...

    RIPs allow you to use custom printer profiles like you're wanting to do. Isn't that what you're asking? I dont know of any "Budget" rips. But a quick search of google http://www.shiraz-software.com/store/ http://zedonet.com/en_shop_pfmac.phtml https://sourceforge.net/projects/graporip/

    Custom ICC Profile

    I'm a big confused why you don't need to know about RIPs. I think you should be using a RIP for what you're trying to do. A RIP manages your printer(s) and your media profiles. You tell the rip what media is on your printer so it knows what icc profile to use, then open all the files you...

    Help choosing suitable in-house printer for local design projects

    if you're using the standard profiles and epson paper. Then photoshop ect will be fine. I know this printer is supported by Onyx but there's no need to get RIP software to run a desktop printer unless it's used for hard proofing for presses ect.

    Onyx Media Manager

    I wish gateway in onyx was more like the full program or an option to use the full program outside of onyx. My solution would be: http://www.vistalogics.com/onyx-barbieri-support.html - Download the LFP targets. - Open the targets in gateways chart generator. - Generate targets that...

    Onyx Media Manager

    Onyx will average your results. Once you measure all of your calibration or ink restriction targets, onyx will show the window with all the measurements, but now it will show all measurements so if you have 3 scans, it'll have 3 values for 1 patch. press next and it'll average. Because onyx...

    Onyx Media Manager

    Which version of onyx? Are you using gateway inside onyx? With the LFP, you have to rescan the whole page. (not sure how you get a bad patch?) If version of x10.3 and later: To get multiple scans, I'm pretty when you press print target in media manager, it opens a new window and you have...

    Which RIP can drive HP Indigo 5500 with highest pantone color accuracy

    I use onyx, and it has a pantone library also. No exp with others, but with onyx, especially with the latest, you can choose a spot/named colour and print of a swatches like a grid of 5x10 for example and then find the swatch closest to the pantone colour. Usually it would be close, but if its...
