I am looking for opinions regarding high end inkjet printers for making GRACoL contract proofs.
What printer and RIP are you using and is it reliable and accurate?
Do you make dot proofs (screened) with your printer and are you happy with the results?
Do you have to constantly do head cleanings to keep your proofs in spec?
Any recommendations or opinions would be appreciated.
BTW, we have a Epson 9800 and EFI ColorProof XF RIP.
We are generally happy with the results verifying each output with 12647-7 control strips.
Regular head cleanings are needed to stay in spec. I think we have some permanently clogged nozzles.
I am currently trying EFI DotCreator to make screened proofs. So far, not so good. Soft dots, moire' patterns in some tint values, streaks (even after a head cleaning).
Thanks
