Hello,
I have a client who is currently using a Mutoh Falcon II Indoor wide format print device (C.M.Y.K.lc.lm.O.G) driven by an Onyx 7.0 Rip (I realize the Onyx is out of date, but they cannot afford to upgrade at this time). I have successfully profiled their other large format print devices (Mutoh, HP and Encad), also driving my Onyx v. 7, using the Media Manager advanced steps. I am very familiar with using Media Manager and usually use the advanced settings, etc..., however this particular Mutoh with the Orange and Green, in conjunction with his Backlit media, is proving to be very difficult to profile. My normal methodology does not seem to be working. The resulting profile generates output that is fine within the highlight and midtone areas, however all the shadows are WAY to heavy and extremely wet and oversaturated.
Does anyone have any suggestions with regards to the correct LC (light cyan) and LM (light magenta) percentages, or a methodology you may recommend to obtain the correct percentages, in addition to how one deals with the Orange and Green additional ink set. If I could upgrade them to a newer version, I would, but that is not feasible at this time.
Any suggestions would be welcome at this stage...
Thanks!
