It's not so clear at all. It's really hard to analyze your problem from afar; there are too many variables: Different RIP version, old profile, possible change in media, and of course the likelihood of printer drift. Go back to media manager and print the charts. If you still have smooth ramps, no lowering of density or shouldering of chroma, just make a new profile. You need one anyway. Version 10 is very much improved software, by the way. You'll find much of the business of ink limiting and linearzing is handled for you. Highly recommended. Mike Strickler MSP Graphic Services

The original testing and ink limiting for the media was done using Onyx 6.5, that media library was imported into Onyx 7.3.2. It should have brought the linearization over in the import.

That explains it! You just can't get a good profile on a printer like that without starting with a good lin. You might also double check that the other settings carried over as well.

If you feel up to the task, it might be smart and start the whole ONYX Media Manager "Create new profile" over from scratch and go through the whole process to make sure you're optimizing everything from the start. On a solvent printer the results are so great when everything is perfectly dialed in. Unfortunately with a lot of the supplied profiles that's not the case.

And BTW you can still use i1Proifler for the final profile.
