Vector vrs Bitmap
Hi all,
Why is it that if you print a file in a vector file, the colour comes out different to the same file that has been converted to a bitmap?
I’m printing a job that has a bitmap over the top of the filled shape with the same colours. The bitmap is obviously RGB, so I set the shape colour as RGB as well, but it prints a different shade.
I’m using Wasatch, is there a setting to change so it renders vectors shape in the same was as it renders bitmaps?
I don’t want to have to convert to bitmaps, as I might have to change things in the shape.

Hi
Difficult to say without knowing which design software you are using but it may be that your software is setup to honour any embedded colour profiles on an object you have imported (could be the vector or bitmap), and although at face value they are both RGB they aren’t the same. You could try re-rasterising the bitmap with an RGB setting to be sure (Bitmap menu in Flexi-sign but don’t know about other software). We’ve had the same with seemingly identical RGB black vectors and bitmap elements with Wastech (Roland ColorRIP).
Hope that makes sense / helps
Cheers
