We've had 2 Iridesse units for about 15 months now and have had ongoing color consistency issues. Main problem is that we print a large number of business cards with a solid PMS549 backer for a customer. Color shifts within a run, from run to run and from day to day. Same file, same stock, same...

Lines keep appearing when I print on block colors that are soft as seen on the picture. What is weird is the lines are not consistent on one side of the sheet or top of the sheet, it is random on every up in the sheet. Checked the plate with a loop and can't see any lines on it. Any idea what is...

Dear Folks, We have a new print job that needs 6 colors printing but we are constricted to a Heidelberg SM-74 5 color machine and we do not want to do a second pass as we will have problems with powder building up for a large run. How can I mix these below colors to get the 6th color of...

I've had an on-going issue with the Xante printer where our color quality - especially on blues - is very nearly impossible to match a spot color, even with "Right On". I can put in the PMS color and get a darker version of blue no matter what shade the PMS color calls for. I've found how to...

I work for a label company and we're looking to branch out our business a bit. We use a (bit out of date) Xerox Docucolor 560. Right now we print short-term usage labels on vinyl adhesive stock. These labels are applied outdoors and we've never had a complaint about the toner fading at all...

We have had a MP C4502 for several years and it has always had great color quality on regular paper or thick card stock. However, over the past few months the color on thicker paper has decreased greatly. I've reprinted things on the exact same paper and setting and they look drastically...

A small job requires shiny silver text as a highlight of the job. One way is to go for hot foil stamping. The other is to print metallic silver ink. I read printing of 100% yellow below 872 Pantone to achieve gold look. Any tips on printing shinny silver on normal printing units. No varnish...

I have a Oki c9650n with new CMYK drums and toner cartridges installed. The toner levels are detected and show at 100%. When I print a demo page from the panel, the output is monochrome. What could be keeping it from printing in color?

I've been running an L5-28 + coat (circa 2007 I think) for about 4 years. (former Harris, Heidelberg, MAN-Roland, Mitsu guy). When I first got to this shop, they were having all kinds of problems, as this was their first "big" press. (28" 'Big' ha-ha) Any way, we got all of the major problems...

Hello, I hope this is in the right spot. I'm having trouble getting the colors right from my CMYK tif converted into a PDF to print the right colors. The colors in the tif are far more vibrant than the print. Also, I have some drop shadow effects but the darker red for the shadow almost...

Hello I teach yearbook at a high school through the art department and our color printer died. I want to replace it with a color laser 11X17 printer that can take a beating. Our printer gets a lot of use- and for many different types of uses. A lot of graphic design printing. I was hoping to...

Hello: We are experiencing a color variation issue. When printing large coverage areas on CIS material the background color is changing from retain to retain. The color also appears to be uneven across the sheet. Both visually and in density. We have confirmed that most of the process...

*PICS INSIDE* So, I recently installed CS6 (was printing from PS7 and PSE9 previously with no major issues). Now when I went to make a new print, the colour almost looks inverted. I have posted a few pics to see what I mean. I tried opening PS Elements and doing it from there because it had...
