the printer i used for these backlits is an Epson 11880 with the Onyx PosterShop 7.1 RIP printing at 1440x720 MD. I had a hell of a time getting this thing going because the color was just so flat and no matter what i did, bumped up the saturation, increased the ink restrictions, whatever, i just couldn't get it to work.



i couldn't get it to work and the job above was a huge thing so i called my supplier where i got the material from and they built me a custom profile... I spent half a day trying to profile it and just couldn't get it right. When i called the guys, they were more than happy to come and help since i bought the material from them. They were here for about an hour the results were awesome....

What media are you using? Is it front or reverse print? What instrument and software were you attempting to profile with? What instrument and software did your supplier use? Who is your supplier? Was that PSA laminate or low melt thermal. I'm sure most of these questions are on everyone's mind that read this thread.
