    Splody dots

    Recently switched sources for our 100# gloss text. The new paper does not print well as well as the previous paper. We get what I call "Splody-dots". Unfortunately, it took awhile before we noticed this when we printed some very light screens and was extremely difficult to control the results...

    Pressmen and DMAXX

    Can I get feedback from a pressman's perspective? I am not a pressman, but I know a few people that are (that's supposed to be racial sarcasm...haha?). Anyway, cooperation and engagement on any project involving my pressmen is often hit & miss. On this test, so far so good, but there remains a...

    XCMYK and/or DMAXX profiling software

    Recently attempted to create a DMAXX icc profile, but to no avail. My software (admittedly dated...PrintOpen v4...oky, waaaay dated!) seems not to be capable of the task. When measuring printed targets, nearly all patches are accompanied with the warning of "significant declinations". The...

    A curiosity: strange conversion results from custom icc profile

    Converting a Lab value (7, -128, 63) into CMYK. When I use anything but my custom CMYK profiles, I get predictable results. A very dark green; basically black. However, if I use my profiles, I get green, minus 3rd color and minus black. Cyan and Yellow only! So obviously it's my profile. Can...

    Indigo 7500: LUT/linescreen problems

    Recently discovered this anomaly. See 2 attached images. Cyan is normal. Magenta is whack. Only occurs at 210 l/s. However, all linescreens show another oddity. When outputting steps w/ a linear LUT, they measure as much as 10 points below linear. HP has been called, and is working on it, but no...

    Dot Gain UV ink

    Have a look at this control strip patch. I don't like the finger-looking extensions around the dots. What do you guys think? It was much worse. A 50 looked like 90. We began working on this problem when the 50% was reading 89%. We're now down to about 73-82% depending on density (1.3 - 1.6)...

    ? ISO ink standards w/ Matte/dull varnish on grade 1 glossy card stock

    Are there any ink density or Lab targets when printing on grade 1 glossy card stock (TANGO paper) finished with a matte coating? SIDs? TVIs? NPDCs? 50% densities? Etc. I've seen a few discussions in this forum. Experience is same in that will have to run SIDs lower (because matte finish...

    Magnus 800

    Brand new, yet after 8 months, still not signed off on. Problem is banding (2+mm in width vertically across width of plates...visible in certain screens when printed). Presumably this is the width of a laser swath. Now at point of purchasing a power conditioner or UPS device even though a power...
