  3. Flexi 19 color mapping issues

    Hi Bannertime, Something sticks around. When I print just using the stock PMS colors without mapping they are around 4.5 - 7 dE away from the actual color. I repeat the swatch process until I get within 1 dE which is about 3-4 times. Then when I print the actual file with the PMS colors, the...

Does the adhesion promoter actually fully cure under the UV light on the first pass...
