I am printing a wrap job that is a greyscale picture with fades. If I print the whole side it comes out fine, but if I break it into tiles every tile prints a slightly different color. actually pretty noticeable. I have the same picture in wasatch, just move the crop marks around and print a different section. Anyone ever have this problem? I have to think its a wasatch problem when ripping the files. Using 3m 180c. using that profile and then was suggested by the dealer to use 160 profile which has precision stoicastic half toning, which came out worse. This is a big nightmare.....
This is a bit like going to the doctor and saying "something hurts." If you can tell me more specifics like, were the tiles rotated when they bad color started, did you prind on the same day...hours later, was the heads in the same condition(did one or more have clogging/dropout) later in the run? I ma fanatical about wasatch softrip, I know it up and down, in and out( I own two copies for grand format). I never had this issue (Not to say that I have not had any issues). Lastly, Any serious color-savy printer knows that "universal profiles"(out of box) are useless,; Are you profiling/lineraizing your machine? Give me info and I can help... Thanks.
These were not rotated, I had the same image open and just moved the cropping region and hit print. If I reripped the same tile, I would get a different result. I was printing one right after another, heads were clean, no clogged heads.
I may have cured the problem however. I reloaded the wasatch program over its self, and it seems to be working much better. I knew it was a software issue. I guess maybe something was corrupted in the program causing it to rip differently each time. Very frustrating!!
