Hi Justin, OK, then the issue is probably not with the Rendering Intents.
When you have greys with a green or sometimes magenta tinge, then it's more a profile thing on the printer side than the monitor. Depending on your patience and the monitor type, you will get the bars to line up accurately, but it doesn't always happen, so I don't think that's the issue. One question though, did you calibrate the media in the printer? Printhead alignment, color calibration etc? The thing is, PosterJet sends contone data to the printer, meaning, the printer will use it's internal calibrations at the last stage of printing. Now, if these are off, then that could lead to some color differences in your prints. Have you printed, some time ago and the prints were fine and recently the colors started going off? If that is the case, I would do the printhead alignment and color calibration in the printer with the Super Heavyweight Media you have in the printer. Let us know how that turns out. Otherwise, you might want to check how long the printheads have been in the printer and or how much ink each has used. teddy ----- Original Message ---- From: Justin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 6:15:05 PM Subject: [HPDesignJet_Printers] Re: Please help!! my prints are not accurate. Monitor or settings? Hi Teddy. Yeah I have tried both settings for my prints and your right you do get different results. However my prints always seem off in color a noticable amount reguardless of using Relative colormetirc or Perceptual. Reds lean towards Pink. Tan/grey backgrounds have more of a tinge of green in them. Im not hyper picky. It is just noticable. I thought that either my monitor is to blame (because I cant get 100% accurate RGB settings) using gretagmacbeth Colorimeter or the UV ink was the problem. Remember I am printing with a Designjet 5500UV. Any of you actually able to tune your monitor with the Colorimeter so that its actually perfect settings? Everything Lines up? Or are your settings off a little bit like mine are? I am open to Monitor recomendations. or any suggestions. Thank you guys. I really am happy to have found this group. I was wrestling with this alone for much to long.
