Hey guys/gals,
I have been in a jam for the past day trying to figure something out. Hopefully I can lay down some history and not bore anyone to death in the process.
Recently my company had a large influx of work for a series of schools across the US. As the days went on I noticed my 3 HP L26500s were changing colors. However the IQ prints show everything was normal. I attempted to relinearize my medias but no difference was made. I however was on a tight schedule and I had no time to really sit down and really figure it out. So I kept similar art on specific printers so that I didn't have large color shifts going to the same schools. Now however the huge crunch is over and with the slightly lul of work I wanted to figure out my problem.
Heres a list of things I tried and sadly things got seemingly worse.
Material in question is general formulations 201 white vinyl.
~ I backed up and reinstalled with no change.
~ I tried again but this time my backups refused to work and onyx 11.0 continously crashed.
~ Tried again same thing. Frustrated I formatted the install drive (separate from my system drive)
~ Installed fresh. Everything installed nice. My printers were printing same colors however they were VERY blue!
~ I tried relinearizing again. No dice.
~ I built a profile from scratch same results as the pre-made genform profile.
~ My color spaces have always been cmyk swop v2 and argb98 and its supposed to override embedded profiles.
~ However I went back to some of the school work using unaltered files and after re-ripping them I noticed that my color profiles no longer automatically replaced the colors. The colors on the newly ripped files are off. Typically with higher cyan values than before.
~ I redownloaded swop and argb98 from adobe's website and no change.
Hopefully someone with a lil more experience in this matter will have a clue what this thing is doing to me. And any suggestions or requests for extra info are always GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
James.
