Getting the hang of this colour lark I think-I have 369 as 68.0.100.0 🙄 (and it’s not a million miles off P. 369 either!)

thanks all you are coming up with what we have but not convinced yet.
trying to get the colour smoother as the scotash??? pattern is getting in the way.

we have a printed out several colour swatches but the squares are too small to compare properly.

thanks for the dealer site link chris

thanks all.

i can get as close as now but not happy with the result for the job in hand, i can’t get the finish smooth looking even at high res. easy with more solid colours.

alternatives buy a edge or learn to screen print.

As I’m sure you know it’s all down to the profile and media being used. If you are printing onto a matt or satin vinyl it’s even harder to get close to Kawasaki green – the inks appear less vibrant.

I’ve had my best results printing onto a super glossy vinyl using the latest Metamark MD3 profile on MAX Density. I print on medium quality but the head speed is quite slow so the colour is fairly solid. The ink values I use are C53 Y100.

yes Owen you are quite correct this is a satin material which has to be used in this case, we are only checking the colours after laminating (no i am not waiting 24 hours )
i can improve it all but the ink load is too high there is a green and orange ink set for this machine takes the place of LC LM but will muck up all the other stuff.
