    I recently upgraded to Onyx7 rip and am having difficulty getting my
    JV3-160S printing properly. No matter what I set it to, all the images appear greenish. Vector Looks ok but images are horible.

    Are you sure it’s the RIP at fault. Could it be a cross contamination of ink – e.g black getting into the c,m or y?

    Have your lighting conditions changed?

    onyx works fine with the jv3-160s, i have used it myself.

    so hows the ‘Test Print’?

    This is way beyond a lighting thing all the people in the print are green.
    The test print is perfect. It is definitely a profile issue and i cant seem to find proper profiles for Onyx 7 and JV3 160s. Not even Mimaki has them.
    Does anyone have a working setup they can send me or tell me your printer settings, particularly output settings and rendering settings.
    Something is definitely amiss here.

    Took a while but figured out that the previous operator had inadvertently switched the light cyan and light magenta around and thus the green image.
    Swapped the little reservoirs around and did a little purging, problem solved.

    Well done for finding it Steve, it’s so often the little things that confuse cos we’re tending to look at complex stuff beyond that.
