Hi Justin, You're very welcome. OK, if the printer is then calibrated and your workflow is pretty OK, then at this moment, I can't really think where the issue is.
What you could do is maybe send me a file and I can test it here and see what differences I get, if any.

Monitor or settings? Hi Teddy. Your a huge help and I want to thank you for it. Super Heavy Weight Coated Media has been Calibrated in the printer Recently. (less than 2 weeks ago) Printheads are aligned. Monitor doesnt offer settings to allow for perfect Alignment of RGB While doing Gretagmacbeth Colorimeter. Not off the charts inacurate RGB but off by a few notches. Red being over saturated and Blue and Green being under saturated. Printer never gave me accurate results. Prints have never been accurate in My short Printing Career. Ive been learning since my purchase in Feb, 2006. Printer Color Calibration is ON. I've used approximately 15-20% of the Ink across the board C,M,Y,K,LM,LC I do prints regularly so the printheads havent been a problem. And I do regular Printhead Calibration (most recently 3 weeks ago) I hate to waste money if its just something simple that Im not doing right.

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 > > > <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family:Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin:0 0 1em 0;} #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family:Arial; clear:both;} #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top:10px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;margin:0;} #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding:0 1px;} #ygrp-actbar{ clear:both;margin:25px 0;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;text-align:right;} #ygrp-actbar .left{ float:left;white-space:nowrap;} .bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;padding:15px 0;} #ygrp-ft{ font-family:verdana;font-size:77%;border-top:1px solid #666; padding:5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom:10px;} #ygrp-vital{ background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:2px 0 8px 8px;} #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size:77%;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold;color:#333;text-transform:uppercase;} #ygrp-vital ul{ padding:0;margin:2px 0;} #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type:none;clear:both;border:1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ font-weight:bold;color:#ff7900;float:right;width:2em;text-align:right;padding-right:.5em;} #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-vital a { text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color:#999;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding:6px 13px;background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding:0 0 0 8px;margin:0;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type:square;padding:6px 0;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration:none;font-size:130%;} #ygrp-sponsor #nc { background-color:#eee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:0 8px;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding:8px 0;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#628c2a;font-size:100%;line-height:122%;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin:0;} o {font-size:0;} .MsoNormal { margin:0 0 0 0;} #ygrp-text tt{ font-size:120%;} blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} .replbq {margin:4;} --> ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
