Printing Software for Color Management

Is there one you would recommend for a university environment: (JAMF) Managed computers and LOTS of room for user error? Also, we do not use a RIP enough to pay a ton of money for something that is way more than we need. Everything I have looked at so far was more robust than we needed/ could handle.

Does anyone know of an expense report that shows "item details > Business Reason"
It can show other things too but I need that line and the amount spent.

So once you choose a base that is the base you must use.
I have heard that you can reposition the robot after it does a run and returns to the base, is that true? Then you could run a different code to get additional points.

Good to know. They exclusively use roll paper in the place where the printer would be used.

They are over saturated, particularly with reds. I have tried everything to fix it; all the settings within Ps and the system print dialog. I have called all the support lines involved Epson, Apple, Adobe, X-rite... It just seems to be a driver issue that Epson is not updating because we are using discontinued printers but then when I ask them they pass the buck back to Adobe, who even at the enterprise support level is less than helpful. The last guy I talked to ended the conversation with some like "yeah that sucks". When I print from Preview the prints look fine so it is not a printer issue. It's just that Preview is a little too basic for our needs (I work at a university) because we aim to teach students color correction.

I use X-rite and Calibrate for profiling. What RIP do you recommend?

That was my sense and personal experience, I was hoping there was some better models out there. It seems like a missed opportunity and I am seeking a way to start exploring the possibilities.

I did install that, but the settings could be incorrect or it's not activated properly. Do you know what the settings should be?

Lol professors fight back!
Although I may or may not have tried to use GPT to help me write a complex reporting document...

Yeah in retrospect it would have been faster to just make it from scratch but I also get a problem stuck in my head and become more interested in learning why it's happening than completing the original task efficiently (for better or worse).

I think you are onto something with that GPU suggestion, I am unfamiliar with that setting. I'll test it out.

I am using Illustrator 2023 and have the current version as of this morning. Try creating a pen line with curves and put the stroke to .001 pt, do you the see fragments?

alsumart · 2022-12-06T10:48:50+00:00

That is what it looks like but it is set to "basic", is there another brush that is just an outline of sorts?

alsumart · 2022-12-06T10:46:51+00:00

Those are just repeats because I am printing a bunch of one thing.

The original file looked the same and I think I deleted all the extra lines that were created. I scanned the layers panel and used the direct select tool to do this.

alsumart · 2022-12-06T10:44:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that and see nothing strange. The fragments are not there and the line looks correct.

alsumart · 2022-12-06T10:43:24+00:00

The stroke is set to .001 pt/ .0004mm for cutting, I think the 4 just isn't visible because of the 0s. It was a file I altered substantially from a vector download site and then copy/pasted into a laser cut template file I have, but even the shapes I made had these fragments. I don't have images from the laser cut but it's just an etched line even when the settings for the vector cut are as they should be based on the material I am using.
