I'm wondering if that small decimal fraction difference ever amounts to more than 1.0 DE2000 difference in measurement?

I actually do think that people doing color work should own an accurate spectrophotometer that they can afford. I certainly would not tell them to hold it up to their computer screen. Even so, the real issue at base is that many people who use CMYK for a color specification don't know that CMYK...

A CMYK color specification without a color space profile(like US Web Coated Swap V2) is MEANINGLESS. You are playing color roulette/pin the tail on the donkey when you try to specify color this way. Using Pantone swatches to visually match is the same game. Measure the color you want with a...

Which RIP software are you using to control your printers? The color management equipment you can use depends to a great extent on what printer control software(a RIP) that you use.

You can use your xrite spectro if you have an android cellphone by using ArgyllPro. You will also need a USB OTG adapter. http://www.argyllpro.com/

The main alternative to Pantone is to simply ask people to measure the color they want and supply the L*a*b* measurement to their print provider. ASE files consisting of names and spot color L*a*b* measurements can also be compiled and used as a communication between print customers and print...

For those of us who already own and use i1profiler, is there any way to create device profiles inclusive of an icc profile for rasterlink without needing Profile Master Pro?

Mural artists use a material known as Polytab, which is a nonwoven polyester cloth, to do outdoor murals on brick walls. Here are some sources of information: Polytab material: https://www.qst.com/contact acrylic gel medium for adhering the cloth to a wall...

Depending on display conditions, and assuming protective topcoats are used- this may not be true for desktop and/or wide-format aqueous inkjet pigment ink.

The best way to specify a color is L*a*b*, or Lab. It is an absolute specification of the color, because it does not depend on a color space profile to give it meaning. A good intro that explains this well is Ed Hagen's Project BBCG- A Better Brand Color Guide, downloadable from...

I learned my answer from Wasatch today. They told me that what I referred to as a simulation profile they refer to as a color transform. I was also informed that a device link profile can be placed into a color transform.

I was wondering if Wasatch RIP can support a simulation profile in a media configuration to do proofing of another printer's output?

The only meaningful specifications of a color are either a L*a*b* number or a spectral reflectance distribution. You get these by actually measuring the color, or by having access to Pantone's L*a*b* specifications for their various swatches. If someone provides you with an image file as their...

I'm curious- could you please elaborate on what is deficient in color replacement in Ergosoft?

Try L*a*b* 71 6 23. This is based on using the photoshop eyedropper tool on your image, taking from the middle of the C in the second Cuba.

You may want to re-explore the nix: https://www.nixsensor.com/color-sensor-recommendation/ You may notice that they support pantone matching based on the feature chart. The color libraries are a feature based on annual or monthly license charges. The Nix products are not suitable for color...

If you are working in a color managed environment, and you have a good media configuration with an ICC profile- Colorant L from Colorlogic.de can in some cases correct the ink build to get an even more accurate reproduction of a spot/brand color.

You might want to consider some of Marabu's water-based coatings instead that are recommended for UV curable inks. See the attached brochure.

I'd like to know two things please: 1. Can you use SS21 orange ink on the Mimaki CJV30? 2. Everyone may remember that the Roland orange ink on the RF640 eight color machine would fade noticeably within 3 months. Anyone know about the permanence of the SS21 orange ink?
