Very new to the world of colorsync, one of those things as a mac user
you just know and expect to be right. I am a macintosh software
specialist in the education world by day and spouse of a signmaker
all the time. My wife recently added large-format digital printing to
her signmaking capabilities. Most of the time it goes quite well as
she designs in FlexiExpert for Macintosh. Everything designed in
Flexi outputs to the Roland SolJet Pro II SC 545EX exactly as it
looks on the screen. The problem is when she gets a file from a
print house or outside designer as an Illustrator file. It imports
into Flexi but the colors are all off comparatively. What she sees in
Flexi and what prints match each other, but they don't match what the
customer sees and expects from Illustrator. To me the colors from
Flexi are richer and more vivid. While the Illustrator colors look
more flat or muted. Flexi handles the RIP and print internally, so
she can't print directly from Illustrator. I can't bring myself to
purchase and install a windoze box just to run the Roland VersaWorks
RIP Server. Especially when I am not sure that would resolve anything.
My question. Should she ask the printers and designers that she
works with to send the files in RGB? Or is there a better way to
match the CMYK files from Illustrator with the RGB world of Flexi?
Feel free to point me at manuals or other resources if this is a
newbie or non-colorsync question.
