  2. Mimaki JV-400 Latex

    Is the Mimaki JV-400 latex printer shipping to end users yet? If so, can anyone that is using the JV-400 latex offer any comments on your experinces to date with the machine?
  3. What would cause a distorted print?

    Dirty linear encoder. Clean with isopropyl alcohol.
  4. Color matching

    I am saying that color reproduction is a complex subject, which has many variables. The only one solution to solving equations with lots of variables is to account for each variable. This starts with your display (calibrate it regularly), extends through to the file (use a standard embedded...
  5. Color matching

    This suggestion would work well for a vector-based file, but in this case, the OP referred to JPG (raster) files as having the blue > purple problem. The way to solve this issue is to use a Media in the RIP (Versaworks or FlexiPro) that is built for the actual media that you are using. Assuming...
  6. Are JV3 and JV33 wipers the same?

    I would expect the wipers to be different, as the two printers use very different sized printheads (DX4 in the JV3 and DX5 in the JV33).
  7. Why do greys print Purple

    It is a rare case where I will (mostly) agree with Bob, but he is largely accurate in this post. Grays that appear neutral under various lighting conditions is one of the most difficult things to accomplish in process printing. A properly color-managed workflow will account for gray...
  8. Funky Junk in my print.

    You have given no indication that you have tried, or even attempted to try my suggestion, despite my multiple posts. I'll try this just one more time: In Versaworks: 1. Add Job 2. Open the Job Settings window (Job Menu > Settings) 3. Go to the Quality Tab (2nd from the top) 4. In the area...
  9. Funky Junk in my print.

    Exactly what I was expecting to see... note the box around the extents of the raster shadow effect. Use the Full Page Conversion Mode, and it may well resolve this issue (no guarantees though...).
  10. MAD URGENT!!! I missed a big dead line.

    The Mutoh Valuejet 1604 that you've been posting about recently does not offer white ink...unless you are now printing with a different device...
  11. Vs-540

    There can be many causes of 'dotty' or speckled solids. In addition to the things already mentioned (temperature settings), these can include: Bidirectional alignment - this should have been performed by the installer of the printer. You can run a user-level bidi calibration as well (check...
  12. Funky Junk in my print.

    Transparency issues in vector files can oftentimes yield unexpected and undesirable print artifacts. Things like soft shadows, lens effects, and others will often timed be the source of these problems. You have already described the failsafe solution that always works - to rasterize the effect...
  13. HELP!: Cannot Seem to Successfully Create Profile for Briteline Window Perf

    The EyeOne Spectrophotometer measures print swatches by reading the colorimetric and densitometric values off of the media. When reading a non-flat media such as window perf, the light source will scatter in various directions, resulting in mis-reads and errors. The bottom line is that you...
  14. white boarder around eps in versaworks

    Correct. I am assuming default settings in Illustrator are in effect.
  15. white boarder around eps in versaworks

    The two are separate issues. The EPS margin can be as little as .02" and you'll be fine, as it is intended to account for rounding errors. Typically EPS files only save the objects on the artboard/ page, whereas PDF files save the page itself, in addition to it's contents. When you bring a PDF...
  16. 6 colour

    In a RIP-driven workflow, the media profile defines the ink splits (when to use light channels cm, and trandition to dark channels CM). You are correct in that the light/ diluted inks are extensions of the CM channels.
  17. Onyx Colour Replacement Using Spectrophotometer

    As others have said, the User Defined Tab of the Spot Color Matching Table, and define as a spot color with LAB values behind it. Then create a spot color of the same name in Illustrator (or your vector app of choice), and you are good to go.
  18. FC8000 with 3M Electrout

    If you are using the OEM Graphtec knife CB09U (pairs with the blue capped knife holder), set the tool to CB09U and the offset to 0. With a sharp knife that setup should provide optimal results on the 3M Electrocut vinyl.

  20. Sepiax

    Converting a machine to SepiaX from solvent has proven to be a difficult task. Every remnant of solvent ink must be purged from the entire system before introducing SepiaX. This involves a series of flushes, damper replacements etc, and in the event that any solvent ink remains in the ink train...
