Pantone was a brilliant solution to the problem of how to get reliable color production without affordable spectrophotometry and/or colorimetry. They made ink, named some colors, linked the names of those colors with formulas based on the inks they made- and voila- consistent color that was as...

Does anyone know the picoliter droplet sizes for the R5070's printhead? If it is obnoxiously large, that might be a reason to be concerned.

If you own one of the Xrite i1-series spectros(or others listed as supported) and have an android smartphone with a USB OTG adapter, you can purchase the Argyll Pro Colorimeter app (www.argyllpro.com) and do color measurement, ambient light color temperature and CRI, among other things. You can...

Thank you for mentioning this- it really makes me wonder how the transfer process works.

At one time I was doing a transfer printing process for ceramic tile that used Kimototech Silkjet SC4 film, photographic-grade gelatin, and conventional wide format inkjet pigment ink. The process involved printing the film with aqueous pigment ink, coating the tile with melted gelatin and...

I was wondering if anyone knows if the permanence of the extended gamut inks(RGO) of the XP-640 is better than the orange of the RF-640 with orange that faded to 6 DE2000 difference after three months(to the best of my knowledge).

You need to be careful with Roland orange and red inks- be sure to ask a Roland company person what their accelerated wear testing revealed so you can see if they provide the permanence appropriate to your applications and customer base. As for gamut/saturation- if you do your own calibration...

Measure the color with a spectrophotometer like an i1pro, get the L*a*b* number, create a named spot color using your RIP's facility for named colors, and use that spot color reference in your design software.

To give an idea of what permanence testing should be about(although these folks focus on aqueous inkjet): https://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/about/ Epson has in the past used Wilhelm Research- albeit never seemingly with solvent inkjet.

Would anyone have some information about the permanence of the extended gamut inks in the newly announced S9170? This new printer has Red, Orange, and Green inks. Given recent solvent equipment that has exceedingly poor Orange ink permanence, I think it is important to know.

If you know, could you please tell me how you injected an icc profile in Rasterlink 6?

Thank you for your reply. Might you know of a possible way to do this with Rasterlink 5? It does not have the quality tab you mention.

How did you use your i1studio to inject ICC profiles into rasterlink media profiles?

I was at one time working with Coreldraw 2021, and I communicated to Corel support that their implementation of ACO file import was not working correctly. I even asked if they could implement ASE file import as an alternative. Corel refused to fix the ACO import and would not consider...

What are all the droplet sizes for the R5070?

The most reliable way to get the right color is to measure it yourself and put the information from the spectrophotometer measurement(L*a*b*/D50 or spectral reflectance distribution) into your RIP's spot color table. See Ed Hagen's www.projectbbcg.guide For Pantone, you can only get...

Onyx go plus purportedly supports color management. I suggest you ask Onyx if this means you are able to create media configurations with profiles, and if they still support the i1pro2. You should not need i1pro2 publish, you only need the measurement device, assuming onyx go plus supports the...

Just to revisit this- does Coreldraw 2024 support import of Adobe ASE files? If not, what might be a path to get ASE-based data into Coreldraw 2024?

You should try to install the Epson driver for the 9800. EpsonNet config depends on the driver being installed. Try selecting Windows 10 as the operating system and downloading and installing that driver...

Pantone Connect is supported by Pantone, which has its own phone number at 866-726-8663. Indeed- why leave it to Adobe? Ed Hagen in his Project BBCG(Better Brand Color Guide) explains alot about the foibles of named color systems, all of which can be replaced by a few simple actions: Measure...
