Changing the measurement mode to LCh L = Ligheness C = Chroma h = hue

The Measure Tool application is a component of ProfileMaker 5, and is not included on the media that comes with the i1. ProfileMaker is now a discontinued product, but can still be downloaded from X-Rite's web site.

Assuming that the fifth and sixth colors are diluted C and M (CMYKcm), the addition of these two does not really increase the midtones (saturated colors) gamut. As your rep said, they are there to boost the quartertones (highlights and skintones) and entend the range of the C and M channels...

CMYK = process color

Yikes. While it is possible that you have some bad ink, it is far more likely that your ignorance in large-format printing is at least a contributing factor to this. It is entirely normal that 100 percent of magenta and yellow will produce an orange red. Try this: create a red swatch in...

Roland's server is probably offline for maintenance or some other reason. Nothing to worry about on your end.

Assuming that you are running a Roland printer (perhaps I missed this if you are or not), using the Roland Color System through Versaworks is clearly the easiest to use, for many reasons. It is simple, and all color representations are based on the inkset and media that you are using. Like...

With the XRite i1 Pro2 device, this is no longer an issue, as the unit can run in both cut and non-cut modes. M0 = unfiltered, M2=UV excluded Even with the previous device, many of the profiling software apps can perform the UV cut in software (i1Match/ ProfileMaker 5, Monaco, etc).

The X-Rite system does exactly what is supposed to do. Assuming that you are talking about i1Publish Pro 2, you can use it to profile your displays (monitors), as well as printers (both large and small-format). There is a significant learning curve to building RIP-based printer profiles that...

Pretty obvious if you look at images of the two units. Also, the Mimaki is using Ricoh printheads, so the synergy is pretty clear...

This approach also has limitations in situations where geography and distance prevent the ability to have the color 'chooser' physically come to your location, as is often the case when dealing with larger corporate entities that have Mar Com staff located across the country or globe.

Virtually any colorimeter can calibrate a display, but you need a more sophisticated device (called a spectrophotometer) that is supported by of your RIP software, for the purpose of media profile creation on a RIP-based printer. The XRite i1 Pro devices are the most widely-used for this...

In Illustrator CS5, with the object selected (and only that object), look on the Properties Bar at the top of the screen, and on the left side you should see the resolution defined in PPI. This is assuming that you are using the Essentials workspace (default) in AI.

In the current X-Rite i1 product line offerings, the product you would need is i1 Publish Pro 2 for use with Versaworks.

IF youi are using FlexiSIGN-Pro's profile creation module for the entire process, any current or older version of the i1 Professional spectrophotometer (including Gretag Macbeth versions) should work. Be aware that the devices should be regularly re-certified by the mfg to ensure accurate readings).

The answer will depend on which RIP software you are driving the printer through. In the case of Versaworks, you would require a version if the i1 that includes the ability to create CMYK-based ICC profiles. If you use FlexiSIGN-PRO, choose to use the SAi profile creation module, you can get...

Even better, look up Quicksets in the user manual. If you set up a quickset for standard print jobs, and another one for print-cut jobs, you'll be all set!

http://www.idealliance.org/specifications/gracol/g7-vs-gracol G7 is based on ISO 2846-1, which in turn is based on sheet-fed and heat-set web offset lithographic printing. While it has certain applications for digital printing (proofing and cross-platform print being two examples), it also...

The only type of font files that go into the CASFONTS folder are .SCF files. You can't put Adobe, truetype, or other fonts into that folder location. Is this the DOS or Windows version of CASmate?

The other option would be to increase the pass count. This gives the heaters more time to act upon the ink...
