Sorry Gordo I do signs, vehicle wraps and large/grand format work, there are almost no MACs in that world and I won't be adding one, looks like 2016 they may have a Windows version so I'll wait and give it a spin. I currently use Photo-PAINT X7 for all my high end color corrections, I have...

​I don't disagee the color management is document oriented and useful but you'd better know you stuff, it's not like running Corel or Adobe. With that said for $100 a decent buy. I'll download Affinity and give it a test drive.

Has anyone tried Photoline? It's a German product, color managed, no N color or LAB.

You guys are too funny!!;)

Anyone accepting them? If you do accept them any issues?

This is one of those problems that I've seen from time to time that has had it's source be from many sources, a bad profile, static, bad hardware. So to be of any real help a technician most likely would have to be on site. ​Are you using media and profiles that match? When you...

You color management guys need to be in the real world and stop the theoretical BS, I get a guy come in with $125 worth of yard signs that some creative type (who has no concept of real world color) created using a gray that changes like Caitlynn Jenner from one light source to another. I...

What I've seen happen with manufacturer created profiles is in more recent cases is that they are made outside the U.S., so ISO - ECI, Japanese - ISO profiles are used when generating test prints for profiling. When we use them in the U.S. we tend to see Adobe or GRACOL CMYK profiles used. In...

Go ahead make my day, C40 M48 Y48 K8 go ahead and print it with EcoSolvent inks on an Arlon DPF 4500LX media and laminate it, I don't care what you do when you move it from different lighting conditions it moves more then a stippers butt. This color was supplied by the client and used for yard...

As a follow up to this the one variable with a CMYK workflow with manufacture created media profiles is that you do not know what CMYK profile they used when creating the profile. So if you set the RIP to the wrong or the application if the RIP honors embedded profile your gray balance is...

Take the file that produced green gray, convert to Adobe RGB in the application, make sure your RIP is set to use Adobe RGB and send the file as an Adobe RGB. You'll find that most factory media profiles tend to work best when sent RGB data. It work on our two Epsons and the Mimaki, the Roland...

Unfortunately if you're delivering finished product you will get clients that bitch because their window graphics which contains neutral colors shift red or green, usually green when the parking light go on. The other issue is that constraining an inkjet to a press calibrated CMYK gamut will...

Mike I don't disagree that this fellow needs a serious commitment to color managed environment and that proper gray balanced media profiles are the foundation to a managed solution but they are not everything. If you believe that you're going to create a media profile that can reproduce...

We have had the gray issue and the off spot color issue with the Roland, the Mimaki and two different Epsons with two different RIPS. I echo the advice for developing decent media profiles with good gray balance and devising a proper color managed process. That process will be different if...

​You're going to get that with ink jet inks. We always laugh and say that all we need do is show the print in the right light. Don't like how it looks here? Move around the corner. I have a great test file CMYK in 5% increments, all four channels are done as vector and image. I use it...

My best print clients I.E. most profitable are those who buy mid run, today that's 500 to 5,000, generally corporate buyers who have their own creation department.

I agree which is why I posted alternatives, because of designer incompetence I have settled on making the designers send PSD files if they must us Photoshop which we will take into CorelDraw and process from there. ​The bite is not as much the Adobe products, while clearly they are not...

In what lighting source? We have to create color builds directly for the use of the product. This is assuming that you media profile under D50 lighting conditions has a proper gray balance. This issue in many cases has nothing to do with an ICC profile and in fact you can change the hue of the...

Because they have no idea how to design for output! Ever see a vehicle wrap or a multi-window mosaic created by so designer.

I agree print is not dead at all we're just seeing a reorganization, in my experience there is more print being done just in more varied ways. Shorter runs, vehicle, banners and what. I'ts just changing and manufacturing for those who can adapt can be more productive. As work processes have...
