Got HP support stumped at the moment. I have been printing on Ink Jet Technology's Satin Canvas (swellable polymer receptor for Pigs & dyes), using the HP...
Why would you use canvas to calibrate your printer. I would think there would be one standard paper that you would use for printer calibration. And then your...
Doyle With HP's as part of their driver setup and with most RIP's you can run a calibration periodically over and above each profile. This is to ensure that...
... That make no sense. A known calibration with a known paper is all you need. All profiles should be over and above one calibration. That is what Canon...
... A calibration is done per media. When you get a new batch of media it is wise to calibrate that media again. That's normal for RIPs and normal for the Z...
Does anyone have any experience with Contex wide format scanners? I am working on one and need repair info. It works fine, but has trouble in transfering the...
Ernst I agree with you. I calibrate then profile for each media and then recalibrate whenever I get a new batch of paper/canvas. From time to time the...
... If this is the case then you need to load each media (you use) calibration (as you are calling it) either in the driver or the printer when you change...
Our canvas supplier tells us that the major inconsistency between batches is the variation in the application of optical brighteners in canvas products....
David, I am sure the Epson 9800 has no way to calibrate it. Are you talking about linearization at the RIP which controls the inks from the RIP? Thermal heads...
Afer nearly 24 hours I got the final report from HP support in Costa Rica. The verdict is, that this particular media--HP Collector Satin Canvas--can NOT be...
John I can tell you that Ink Jet Technology's Satin Canvas can be read by the normal Eye One and profiled with ProfileMakerPro, Eye One Match or Monoco...
A couple of things come up with this latest thread: Just because "polymer" is stated, it does not automatically denote "swellable". Polymer is a very generic...
I don't know if the on board spectro for the HP allows this workflow, but it's imperative that canvas profile targets be allowed to dry down completely and...
Doyle Sorry for the late reply, I had to go to bed! Yes, I am talking about calibration/linearisation at the RIP for my 9800. I know that for the thermal...
... In theory one could have A/ a calibration to set the printer back to a known state, B/ a linearisation per media/batch to make the tone ramp between paper...
... That's what I do too and I have two profiles for one canvas, gloss varnish and matte varnish as the last layer. Measuring it with the old Spectrocam though...
Just to let you all know, I chose HP Professional Matte Canvas media setting with the IJ semi Canvas. Calibration worked fine. Profile from the internal Eye...
Hello, i work for a company based in Paris, France. One of our activities is making large format prints for artists and photographers. We have 2 wide inkjet...
In the US, we use a double faced clear adhesive mylar rather than silicone. We pretty much gave up on the silicone process long ago for reasons unknown to me....
The problem you run into is the air bubbles. I have successfully had Epson Enhanced Matte or Premium Luster papers laminated. HOWEVER, it is a really bad idea...
Mariela, Wilcovak, the company that has the rights for Diasec in the Netherlands does the job on German Etching so even a rougher surface than the ones...
I am am considering buying an HP Designjet 130 to do the printing for a small production run of gameboards. I will only be making 10-15 prints a day (approx...
I'm not sure that the Designjet 130 is a good choice for your needs for several reasons. Although this printer can produce very high quality prints it is no...
On the Satin (where I do 99% of my printing on my 130) the prints are amazingly tough to abrasion. Let the slightest bit of damp get involved and they damage...
Based on my experience with a DJ130 and HP's poor support for this product, I would not recommend it. I would suggest one of the 24" printers from Epson or...
I'm using an HP Z3100 44" to print on Kodak Poly Poster self-adhesive material. The results are then being cut out with a laser (ULS VLS4.60 if you were...
... Simple answer is yes. However the mounting process makes the difference, so if you are not going to use Diasec or other wet mount, then you'll need to be...
