  • Pink in white to light blue gradient

    Hi guys

    What is best rendering intent to print with. I’m printing a graphic that has a gradient I it going from white to light blue but wasatch is determine that it wants to make a bit pinky. I’ve looked so close at the file generated in illustrator to serif there is link present. But there is no pink just a straight fade from white to light blue.

    Any ideas as its doing my head in. Lol

    From Mark

    You could try converting to a bitmap and printing from that instead

    If you want to isolate the problem try rasterising the gradient and see how it prints then.

    if it looks different then it’s how the rip is rendering the gradient.

    If it looks the same then it could be the profile, try a different profile and see if it still happens.

    Have you printed it successfully before? Have you tried printing on anything else to see how it looks? Is your monitor colour calibrated?

    Hope you sort it!

    Cheers

    Good answer Alex. That saved me some typing 🙂

    What RIP are you using? Also, if you are using anywhere below about 8% grad, it will always look a little grainy. Try and avoid using more than that if possible and it should eliminate that ‘peppery’ effect you can get.
