Hi all,
we have a Canon ImagePress C6010VP with an Imagepress CR Server A7000 (CREO-RIP). I am really confused about somethings regarding the output of spot colors after editing them in the RIP's spot color editor.
I test print from the editors variations palette, and match my color to be almost perfect compared to the Pantone Swatch Book. But when I print the actual PDF it comes out hugely different than the testprint from the editor.
I've tried printing from Acrobat, directly from the source (Illustrator) and from Indesign (placed as PDF, EPS and AI) as well as PDF to a hotfolder on the RIP, but it just seems to ignore my predefined spot-adjustment in the RIP's substitution)
I've never come across this problem before although I've adjusted a bunch of other colors for other jobs with no problem.
My suspicion was that it must be the file, some element affecting the color, but when I tried to remove all other elements than the background color (Pantone Gray 429) it still came out different than the sample from the spot-color editor.
What gives??? I mean the printer CAN reproduce my color of choice when I'm adjusting but not when the actual job is sent to the RIP.
Anybody have any thoughts about what I can try?
