That screen is a FlexiSIGN dialog. Send the job in a Hold State to Production Manager, and then open the Job Settings dialog in PM. I have not worked with the SAi RIP since version 10, but at that time it had the ability to disable color management and enable Pure Hues in PM.

Try disabling color management in your RIP and send the CMYK rectangle job again after re-processing it. Some RIPs also have a function called Preserve Pure Hues which can be enabled. This will send straight CMYK values to the printer without conversions when outputting those color only (for...

Each of the HP Latex 200-series and 300-series machines that I have had dating back to 2010, have been used exclusively for training, and regularly sit without being used for days and even on occasion, weeks at a stretch. The Latex machines are built to go into sleep mode, and not to be power...

When you are wanting to print Roland Color System (RCS) colors, or Pantone colors, it is critically important that you set-up your Queue default settings properly. If you do not, there is no linkage and no color replacement that will occur. Here are the steps: 1. Edit Menu > Queue A/B...

There is no one size fits all answer to this question. It depends on the situation, and the intended goals for the particular project. If the goal is to get every bit of the color that the printer is capable of delivering on the media being used, the proper answer is to design in RGB, using a...

If all you require is the ability to capture and define the color of physical specimens, there are a new class of low-cost (< $200) color capture devices that have recently come on the scene. They are able to capture and quantify colors using several color models, including LAB...

I agree that your business (art reproduction) is a very different animal than sign and display graphics. I would guess that you are using very different machines with a higher number of ink channels (Epson / Canon / HP). These machines often times have 8, 10, or 12 unique inks. You are also...

To do (almost) everything needed, while keeping budgetary issues in mind, I would recommend the XRite i1 Pro 2. If budget is not an issue, I would go with the Barbieri LFP. The XRite device is supported by both Versaworks and Onyx, among other RIPs. Versaworks supports the XRite, but I am not...

Our process is to take a spot color measurement of the specimen using a spectrophotometer. This provides an accurate LAB-based definition of the target color (in your case it would be a sample of 3M Electrocut 7125 vinyl). From there, we can plot the color's position in relation to out printer's...

You would have two options: 1. Go to the newest (and last) version of Illustrator CS6, if you prefer the perpetual licensing model. 2. Go to the Creative Cloud (CC), which is a subscription model. Of these, the CC option is the only one that would guarantee that you never get the...

There are Tyvek media products that are coated to work with eco-solvent inksets, but you are not going to find them at Home Depot (or Lowes for that matter). They are specific products built for printing, and they are sold through sign-distribution channels. Companies like Coveris and Sihl are...

I can't say if they carry that specific product, but I know that WS Display fabricates custom display fixtures. http://www.wsdisplay.com/ .

It's not weird at all. RIP-based large-format printers do not need Windows-based drivers, because they use the driver in the RIP. The Roland cutter needs a driver to be seen by the OS.

If that is Windows 10 (I'm guessing that it is), Roland has not updated their drivers for this OS yet. They might have a procedure to install the driver using the driver for older versions of Windows, you'd need to get with Roland support for this.

Without question, the most frequent root cause of premature Printhead failure is directly related to head strikes, usually with media, and this is true for both thermal and piezo printheads. On the Latex 280 and 260, Cyan / light cyan printheads are located in positions 1 and 2 at the left side...

You are correct, however many people will use the term 'calibration' to describe the process of Linearizing the printer. This step, which precedes the ICC profile, requires a densitometer or spectrodensitometer, which is what the XRite EyeOne Pro is.

The ES-1000 is an OEM version of the XRite EyeOne Pro measurement instrument. I would suspect that it would work with Versaworks if you configure as an EyeOne, but the only way to verify this is to try.

If the production job file is completely built outside of Flexi (using AI or Corel etc), it can be brought into the RIP (PM) directly. You lose nothing in the way of functionality using this workflow. Flexi is a design tool, and PM is an output tool for print and/or cut. I have found in a number...

Yes, it could definitely make a difference. It depends on the choice of Rendering Intents that are being used (they should be the same for both raster and vector data sets). Also, when designing outside of FlexiSIGN (in Corel or Illustrator for example), it might be better to bring the job...
