Intriguing that there is such a BIG difference in consumables and time. Annoying when others can do the same. Mark On 22/06/2012, at 10:06 AM, Martin Orpen <martin@idea-digital.com> wrote:

One (obvious?) question - why do you want to use 8 colours instead of 10? It sounds like trying to fix something that isn't broken.
That is a question that I've asked myself repeatedly over the last month…
Running 8 colour, 720x720 bidirectional wasn't essential. It was something that I thought would be useful when a client needed plain CMYK contract proofs, fast.
And a weekly 10 colour calibration takes at least 4x as long and uses more than twice as much media than 8 colour calibration -- so why not save both time and money by using 8 colour?
It seemed like a good idea at the time but it has turned into a massively expensive nightmare :(
But there's no turning back now. Once you discover that a piece of equipment that you've purchased isn't working as expected and that other people can achieve things with their identical equipment that you can't… what are you supposed to do?
I may only drive during the day, but I'm not going to be happy if I buy a new car and find out six months later that the lights don't work!
