Impact Health & Safety sign library
Hi,
Does anyone use this safety sign library? when importing into Signlab which I use, then i scale to required size and print.
A customer today has picked me up saying that the red triangle around the men at work symbol is too orangy. All I did was import and print to versaworks using sign and display setting. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong. Also he said it needed more detail – why? you cannot alter a road sign which is a national recognised symbol?
Even on the sign I did had the customers logo on the bottom that was orange the men at work symbol was no where near the orange colour below it! 🙁 -

Hi
run it on max impact should help the problem, i actually adjust the red to 100% m and 100% y & use max impact. However i use Lyson inks. If he can’t explain what detail is missing how does he know its missing.Kev

In the colour settings in versa works select ‘preserve primary colours’

quote David Hammond:In the colour settings in versa works select ‘preserve primary colours’Ohh, now there is a tip!
I have the same problem with yellows, whether on My printer (VC 300v) or my local trade printer, the yellow goes from my printer as yellow, and comes back as a greeny yellow, almost ‘dirty’ in colour. I will be looking for that setting tomorrow David, thanks!

I use it and have a few varied problem, sometimes the text comes out funny in versaworks and often some are blank….
one big prolem I have found is spelling mistakes in some of the signs… a bit embarrassing when customers point it out in your advertising 😳

Just a screen shot of where the setting is Lorraine.
I’ll probably get told my other settings are all wrong- TBH I don’t really get colour management.

Using the Sign & Display colour management automatically selects Preserve Primary ColoursKev

When I had an engineer here last, he suggested using Pre-Press Europe as that is the same CMYK Colour space used in production.
He did explain the other settings but it’s not really something I mess with and the prints come out fine.
I’m one of those geeky people though who would rather know what all the settings mean, even though I’ll probably never use them!

thing is as soon as you tell it to Preserve primary colours you have taken it out of that colour space. You may be suprised at different results you get with colour profiles & presets. But each to there own, i enjoy playing anyway.😀
