Solved my problems months ago by unplugging the Epson 1280 and plugging
in an HP 7960 (I know, water based inks, need to dry, need lamination
or spray).
Emailing jpg's to my local photofinisher with a Frontier printer was
the smartest move in years, or at least for now..
Color management to me is like a pile of broken window panes, stand
real still while its working or you'll cut yourself. You clients
don't care. Its only digital, right? I mean my third grader has a
scanner.
Let's just say the color management world lacks a certain
self-centering stability. Suddenly appearing and disappearing kitchen
drawers
in an indifferent planet's kitchen.
The most profoundly absent thing about digital is the equivalent of an
f/stop, a timer, and
a decent color analyzer.
Here is my projection: HP is about to gobble up the color output
business. Epson is going to get its teeth kicked in.
HP printers in my experience have better color management right out of
the box; I would think RIP industry people see the writing on the
wall.
I am no mood to pay more for a RIP CD as I did for a printer thank you!
As for the press industry, I have no idea what you deal with, but going
by this forum, you are tremendously patient people with enormous
ability to put up with this stuff. The comments here are quite
impressive to me.
Like yourself, I have run out of patience with the industry. Do it on
screen with the numbers, jpg it to the Frontier guy.
