When calculating the cost of ink for your printer, it is important not just to compare the price per liter or per cartridge, but to include the print head replacement cost which can be quite high. Higher quality inks prolong print head life and reduce the overall cost of printing even if the price per liter or per cartridge is higher.

Different colors will reflect differently under each light source (sunlight, florescent tubes,….). Hence it is essential to specify the light source where the final printed image will be displayed when building your media ICC profile in order to have higher color accuracy under the specific light source.

Most of color matching issues are related to the condition of print heads. Always check print head nozzles if you are facing color matching issues.

Choosing the correct input profile in the RIP software is a must in the process of producing a print with accurate colors.

Most backlit banners are profiled with linearization only. No ICC profile is generated in most cases as color measuring devices can’t produce readings out of backlit banners.

It is highly recommended to leave the printed vehicle-wrap vinyl to dry for 24 hours prior to applying on vehicles.

Highly humid printing environments have a high rate of adhesion failures on most substrates especially with UV printing.

It is recommended to increase the density of an outdoor print as the print loses 5% to 10% of its saturation in the first month.

Ink overlapping in dark areas is caused by high ink limit in your RIP software. Reducing the ink limit can solve this issue after which re-profiling is required.

Increasing the ink restriction value for light colors is essential in generating smoother half tones in any indoor printer with light inks.

It is recommended to do a complete wash for the printer ink system at least once a year.

Print heads with deflected nozzles can’t be aligned. Professional print head cleaning can fix deflected and clogged nozzles.

You can color proof your final output in Photoshop prior to printing
