  • how do i get the grenadier to match pantone colours?

    Hi Signmakers,

    This is my first time on the board having just teken delivery of my Grenadier. I’m in at the deep end with jobs queing up but I am having difficulty matching the pantone swatch with the printed result. Purples come out bluish, liliac is a pink and reds are darker than expected. I have scanned the 481 posts on the subject but haven’t fount a definitive answer. We are using TROOP with Corel 10

    I have spoken to B&P who talked me through some settings but these didn’t work. I will be calling them in again, but just wondered whether somewhere in the wealth of knowledge in you guys, that someone can direct me in the right direction. If I had two days to play with the thing, I might get closer but… you know how it is ….

    Any suggstions,

    PeterF

    peter i have one also, but im afraid i dont use it day to day as much as ide like to… this is done by andrew that works with me. he browses these boards most nights, so if he spots this thread and can help, im sure he will..

    i know we printed off our own pantone chart and go about matching the colours that way. could it be the quality your printing yours at? i know production is lighter than in the quality setting? or could it be the vinyl you are using? is it the metamark md5? from metamark or b&p?

    if youve spoke to b&p im sure they will have covered this already, &
    Im just really guessing here mate. sorry i cant be of more help 😕

    Many thanks, we are using the vinyl from B&P so it should be OK. Will try PRODUCTION. I just don’t want to spend half my day on the phone to tech support if someone has been here before and its a simple somution.

    Thanks for the prompt advice.
