This is usually done on your printer with a "Varnish / Clear" ink.

When you’ve been in the industry long enough, you know what to look for when judging print quality. You can’t tweak a profile to improve dot placement, or magically increase print resolution. And if you’re demoing a machine and it produces superb print quality, that means the one you buy...

Samples. Get samples…. We recently just had a printing trade show in Australia ( Pacprint) To my surprise Dirext Color Systems had a machine there. I picked up a sample. I saw the print quality. Let me tell you.. the dot placement was crap. I asked them what resolution the sample was...

Are you loading it properly? following the diagram on the draw? Loading it in slot 2, then feeding it though to slot 1? Also, all our banner are printside out.

The sensors need to see the white stock to know the position on the platen and size it is. So yes if the stock is clear with no backing, the sensors wont see it. Im not sure what this stock is ith black back. what colour is the front/print size?

Interesting, canon installed ours in 2 days, and an additional 2 days of training. Anyway, you should check - https://graphiplaza.cpp.canon/ if the stock you're using is there or something similar. When creating a profile for the colorado, it has presets you choose from for setting up the...

We just upgraded. The drag and drop is a very welcome process. the new file name automation is going to be great to use also. Not happy with the fotoba marks though. same old rubbish. It still wont let us nest images with no gap. defaults to 4mm even when set to zero. Anyone who runs an XY...

I don’t know what other users have. But on our canon, the quality from the RMO and flatbed are indistinguishable. The alignments are done seperately from the flatbed and RMO platen. As for comparing the RMO to 3.2m and larger machines. If you can afford to have those size R2R machines. You...

Just going to add my 2c Lower quality to a standard R2R ? well if you're going to compare solvent to UV, then yeah probably. but that's not apples to apples. We've compared our prints to a competitor with UV R2R, and our canon blew the competitions quality away with what ever they where using...

I'm pretty sure they'll walk you though the replacement?

To the point. get in contact with CMYK Engineering. they'll assist you.

Have you tried running the software in compatibility mode?

The reason they're locked down is because owners will have a service agreement, then use aftermarket inks are used, parts are ruined etc. Then they ask canon to come replace all damaged parts. Once upon a time, canon would replace 1 head per year for free. Until customers where abusing the head...

Thats's because the print heads are what mostly make up the price of a printer ;)

Thanks i'll have a look at those. At this point just trying to give our client a hand. Im stumped as the mpi2000 didn't hold in the cold as it's rated up to -40deg

Hi all, What printable vinyl would you use for snowboard wraps? A client of ours used Avery MPI 2000 for their snowboard, while it had good adhesion they mentioned that the vinyl lost adhesion in the snow and started to peal. So i'm wondering what would be a good vinyl for this job?

After I posted it. I thought about how it wouldn’t work as a media profile and an ICC profile are different. I do like the concept of the website. It can get you out of trouble. You have a new stock, but the generic profile you use sucks. So you need to get one to work till you profile it...

It seems most profiles are for Onyx & Caldera. Theres: 14 printer brands 23 RIP options ~250 brands of media for 1,000,000 profiles. that's basically 1 profile per printer for 1 stock per brand on every rip. I think the idea is cool. im not sure how this will work, but they have an ICC...

This is great! defiantly helps in situations where you just need to get printing but don't have a way to create a profile.

What? so im not performing witch craft??
