It is not a pre-profiling function. All Latex 500 and some of the Latex 300 have functionality to create a complete media profile including linearization and creation of an ICC-Profile with a built in i1 Spectrophotometer. It is very low on functionality (e. g. no possibility to set GCR/UCR)...

Do you know the HP Latex 570? It have an integrated easy profiling assistant. With this, it doesn't make any sense to let the tech create profiles, it is much better to let the tech train the user to create his own profiles when he needs them. Of course its nice to let the tech makes the job ...

Onyx is able to do contour cutting. When buying a Latex 315 or 335 without the cutter, the Flexiprint-Version delivered with the printer is very basic. There are more enhanced versions available.

Have you tried to download them from HP through your profile library through the touch panel of your printer? I know they have a IJ40 Profile there to download, and some Grimco Media too. If your IJ-40 is transparent should not make a problem, color accuracy is not possible to get on...

The SP300, the SP300V and the SP300i have the same amount of print heads (there are two DX4 Printheads). The heads, and lots of other parts (capping, ink dampers and so on) are no genuine roland parts, so you can buy them from different companies, and they will work. But this source will not...

There is a Flexi available as a hybrid software for vinyl cutting and printing, including lot of designing tools (it is like an Illustrator with direct plotting and lfp-printing). If you want to test it, you can subscribe for a month or two: https://saisubscriptions.com/en/ Onyx is a RIP-only...

Don‘t shut it down. Specially if you use white ink, but in 6 colour mode too. I know the machine makes the same noise if running or in sleep mode, but specially if switching off for more than a few days, you will kill the print heads.

Shure you have the right voltage at the new position of the printer?

You can buy the new Mac Pro which should be available shortly. It will have 12 DIMM-slots (for up to 1.5TB RAM) and 8 PCI Express Extension Slots. Up to 28 Cores.

At the HP Graphic Arts Training Center in Barcelona/Spain, someone has written R2D2 on it . When I said to the trainer that we could buy this spare part at the hardware store, he said that they have made a lot of tests to find the right one, others get damaged soon. Not shure if I believe that.

The FB-Series is technically outdated for some years now, it is very long on the market. It has some very nice details like the camera who checks the position of the media, and the possibilities for easy batch printing. But paying some hundred bucks for UV-lamps which should last 1´000 hours...

The profiles of the HP‘s are regularly RIP-Independent, you can download them directly from the control panel to your printer (the RIP will sync it from the printer). In addition, you can create a complete media profile including ICC with the integrated Spectrophotometer. Creating a new media...

You should check which media type is assigned to the Onyx Media Profile.

There are RIP‘s available which work with that printer, but for example with Flexi there are no updated printing profiles anymore because the machine is very outdated (last new one sold in around 2004). Dont invest too much in that printer, as soon as the capping wears out (suggested to be...

The printer prints with ribbons with a width of about 10cm. If the print exceeds that size, it will print an additional pass. The feed is adjustable so that you won't have gaps or overlaps between this passes, and there are some other settings to optimize it, but specially on solid colors you...

Check if Autoload is enabled. If it is disabled, enable it. Do you use a heavy roll, but don't use the media flanges? Check if the pinch rollers are ok. Does you set the outer pinch rollers to lower pressure?

An ICC-Profile will not help with the dithering. It could help with the „slightly off colours“, but that kind of printers are hard to calibrate. Could be that on older versions of Flexi profiles are available, but because of this machine isn‘t been sold anymore for more than 15 years, they...

Regularly, if you do not print with spot color ribbons that match the needed colours (and define them in the file), you will not have „full“ colours. In addition, thermal transfer printers are printing with a very rough dither. Check Chapter „Halftone (printing process) at Wikipedia.

There are additional things to consider: Color is reflected light. So it could happen that the same print, viewed under different light conditions, can look different. The reference light for ICC-Profiling is named D50, a light similar to daylight. There are light indicator strips available...

Another difference between 115 and 315 is the missing OMAS-Sensor, which adjusts and control the media feed permanently.
