pixeleu Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Heya guys, I am getting great results when printing vector graphics (line art, text etc) and colors are accurate but when I print a photo colors are way off (purple skin tones and similar problems). Tried with jpegs, psds, pngs, tiffs with same awful results. Tested it in all the ways I could, with or without ICC profiles (some youtube videos on how to get accurate colors in Acrorip say which profiles to use and they seem to be getting fine photo prints). My idea was to print loads od phone cases and glass photo prints but at the moment I am stuck with printing pens, lighters and other promo materials with simple text or logos printed on them. No one would buy a phone case where their white poodle looks greenish/purple... Any advice on how to sort this out? Is there anyone that has a custom ICC profile that I may give a go? At this point I am becoming desperate and consider buying an x-rite i1 display device (around 380€ here, or 420$) to create custom ICC profiles, even though I am not sure it would help.

reptilesink Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 You will need to use the icc specific for the ink and printer to get totally accurate colours. Also try adjusting the outputs in acrorip such as contrast, brightness, ink % etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister_X Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 @ pixeleu It could be related to wrong ink dot size setting. Try to set your color/white dot size to "medium". If you have set it "mix" than you might have difficulty to get nice grey tones. Hope this helps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PITA Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It might help to do convert from RGB to CMYK before importing to AcroRip (via TIF) and then print without ICC in AcroRip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
