How close to matching Oracal 651 Gold can a guy get? I still am adjusting on my color profile even though I have no clue what im doing, some stuff comes out good, some stuff comes out to dark...photo's seem to come out way to dark....any one have any tips or hints?

I have a CMYK/RGB match for Oracal 651 gold (or as good as you can get it on CMYK)!
I am using Wasatch so my profiles don't match youurs.
When I go in 2mora ill have a look.
I personally do not adjust profiles too much as when you change one thing in a profile it will upset another! And you don't wanna do that believe me.....

I dont even have a good color profile right now, Im actually lost on the subject! I have tried to read up on it, and asked a few questions, but nothing has really made sense...right now everything comes out a little dark, especially photos. and it has my inks printing at 100% not sure if thats right or not either....cause sometimes they look a little thick and ive had trouble with black lookin like it tunnels or fish eyes...or something...

What printer are you running?
I used to use Signlabs RIP years ago and when installing the valuejet 1604 I decided there and then that their was no way I was going tro use Signlab as a printing device.
I have found through bad experience (years!) that the Sign Programmes (especially Signlab) over complicate things. To a point where you don't know what you started with or is it any better?!
Wasatch is a RIP nothing else.
Yes I have made my own profiles but it isn't rocket science.
I realised over the years to understand the limitations of printing using 4 colours.
You can never match a colour perfectly but you can simulate it (their is a difference...lol)

It's better to have two hands than one glove.

What software? What rendering intents?

If you are connecting to the JR via a Parallel cable, you should have your CiberPrint set to LPT (1,2, or 3) whichever you have.



What settings are you using in Flexi?

Here is my codes for gold

It is probably as close as you can get on a CMYK printer.
