I was curious about when you tried using a different printer as a proofing printer- did you compare the proofing printer's 3d representation of the gamut of the icc profile to the target printer's 3d representation of the gamut of the icc profile? Also- were you using any facilities within the...

If you own an Xrite color measurement device like an i1pro{1,2,3}, and you have a copy of Pantone Color Manager(which can be downloaded from https://www.pantone.com/customer-service/software-download), you can still create CGATS, ASE, and/or ACB files which can be loaded into whatever software...

Thank you. It's amazing to be able to communicate with you- as I now know you are of the company that is named for the messy splotch of milk producer of certain kinds of cheeses. ;-) Thank you again. I'll show you what things look like after I make some with this process.

I don't know if you saw the version of my message with the test images attached, but you may want to look at my message again. I presently have a GBC slot laminator that has heat assist, so once the roll comes in, I will try that too. I remain grateful for your comments/help. May I know your...

I hope this message finds you well. Thank you for mentioning Wooster Products to me. I was pleasantly surprised by their coarse clear griptape product as to how well it preserved details on some printer test images I use to check my media configuration work on my print process. It is not as...

Thank you for that nice image of your printwork. I was wondering- are you using a CMYKcm or CMYKOG as a six ink configuration? Also- do you clearcoat on top of the print, or just print and out it goes to the customer?

That's interesting. I hoped to be able to use Ultra-Grip, largely because as you have said- there is an expected performance by skateboarders in particular, but for very detailed high resolution imagery I found it unsatisfactory.

Is most of the printwork you do based on what I would refer to as classical line-ish/cartoon-ish skate art? The reason I ask is because the anti-slip particle density on Ultra-Grip is so high that it is ok for line-ish/cartoonish art, but not so for images of greater detail like natural...

Thank you for your reply. May I know what you do for anti-slip?

Thank you for all the good information you have been kind enough to share in this discussion. I do some longboard griptape printing using aqueous inkjet BOPP w/permanent PSA, outdoor-rated textured laminate film, and Skate-Dek from Surfsource for anti-slip. I was curious about whether you had...

You're welcome. If I may clarify- I was asking if you considered making your own media configuration from scratch, inclusive of calibration/linearization, ink limiting, and profile.

You can print on a printable clear film that has permanent adhesive, laminate that to the v2000, and then use liquid laminate or laminate film as a protectant. Your color management can be easier too. I am curious though- can you create your own media configuration, complete with...

Just to help out: When you have a color matching problem, the first question to consider is whether you have done the normal steps of color management: 1. Make sure you have made a valid ICC profile for your monitor. What you see on your monitor is a mysterious and meaningless nothing without...

Update: Corel refuses to address the issue of incorrect import of ACO palettes.

Just to explore a little- is accuracy impossible largely due to potential variability of things like the illuminant in the viewing environment and/or manufacturing variation in the optical clarity of the print film/clear backer film used during measurement?

Just to mention what I actually did- I decided to try out Grafix Clear-Lay Plastic Film, .003" thickness. I used a slot laminator(GBC H700 Pro) to adhere the printed clear film to the clear plastic film. The Barbieri Spectro LFP RT read the charts well. Thank you again to all who commented.

Thank you to everyone for responses so far. Next stage of the question- I have been looking for an appropriate clear film on which to mount the adhesive backed clear film print. Anyone have suggestions?

Yes. It is still available for download and it still connects to Pantone Live for updates

Pantone Color Manager, at least for some indefinite period, remains as the best path for batch downloading of L*a*b* values for Pantone fan decks. If you have an I1 spectro, you are licenesed to use Pantone Color Manager. Pantone is trying to get everyone migrated to their monthly extortion...

Thank you for providing that PDF- it was interesting in and of itself.
