My head is still spinning. Apparently these settings I was making in Media Explorer (see attachment) are not changing the "profile", rather just the linearization? Apparently I need certain software to create/noodle with profiles? See how much I don't know? I want my mommy.

Reminds me of that saying: "Whether you think you can or can't, either way, you are right."

I suggest that it really depends. It depends on one's logo design ability, and who the customer is. If you're a 4 on the 1-10 scale of ability and your customer is a plumber, you might be able to produce something that he'd be tickled with and that would serve him well; but if you're a 6 on the...

I agree that 720 would be all ya need for a 4' x 10' (especially canvas), but for something like a 16" x 20" B&W photo on paper, framed, I kinda feel that people are used to and expect a similar print quality that many now get out of a 13x17 Epson photo printer. I know I cant achieve that with...

Lights in the shop are off right now - what a day. I'll give that a try tomorrow, but keep in mind that my concern here is for B&W photo prints larger than 8"x10" - prints that I will be framing & selling, so the finest resolution is required.

Aright, the recipe in the Rite Media Matte Paper profile was C90 M100 Y95 K70, and I've found the best combo is C70 M80 Y90 K90. Still not perfect, but I really don't know what else to do. Is that basically what's involved in creating custom profiles - changing the CMYK values and...

randy: I see no "filters" anywhere in the profiling area. I've printed off many now, and it's getting frustrating. The best one so far has been 70 70 70 100, but it seems too light compared to the K only print using "Density Control Only" preset (which is no good due to the fine banding)...

I'm doing all testing at highest resolution. I've tried myriad CMYK settings in the profile and getting rid of undesirable green/pink etc tones seems impossible!

Then why the heck would I be getting that fine banding with the K-only prints? I've tried slack & no slack. No difference.

I'm not sure who you're addressing that to eye4, but I'm doing my darndest to try and learn all I can on this, and when one works alone, without another person or persons to brainstorm with and learn from, it isn't easy. While you were typing, I was dipping my feet into actually adjusting the...

Ok, I'd really like replies to this: In an attempt to get a nice, neutral B&W print, I've now tried every possible setting combination for using the K channel only, but no matter what, I keep getting that fine banding which suggests a problem with the K nozzle. If I let it mix CMYK to...

Good - thanks Custom Grafx.

SP540i: When I want to bring the head out further than the home base point for a new base point further up the media, it does this really slow song & dance before actually moving up. Is there a way to get it travelling immediately instead of this time wasting in & out dance?

Actually, if you apply K100 to a "grayscale" saved photo (in Illy), and then save the photo as an eps, and then select "US PrePress" under "Color Management" in VW, it will use the K channel only (no mixing of CMY). Alternatively, you can also use Roland spot color BK21A and then select...

I think this might be a similar product: http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/paperport/index.htm

Seems much slower than normal to load in the last week or two. I thought it might be due to all of the banner adds. shrug

Over the last 6 months I've pro-actively weaned myself off of my old XP machine and over to a new Win7 Pro 64-bit machine, which is where I now live. It has new Adobe CS5.5 suite, CorelDraw X5, and up-to-date VersaWorks. The old XP is still hooked up via a KVM switch, but it's getting turned...

Wait! Did you not mean "Preserve Primary Colors" in VW?

Yes, I clicked that option on and off on every setting combo possible. I also tried the "grayscale" setting in PS, and it just doesn't work. The print (when using the K channel only) is too brown and grainy. Even Roland themselves admit that it will be more grainy, and to print at a higher...
