Webinar Replay: Achieving Color Expectations with ONYX Color

Color matching can often be a graphic artist’s dream and a print service provider’s nightmare. Sometimes, spot or trademarked colors can be tricky when going from screen to print, but hitting the right color is an important part of ensuring your client is happy with the results.

To help PSPs with the color-matching process, Alicia Wallace recently presented a webinar for ONYX users. Wallace is an expert in RIP software for wide-format printers, color management and profiling for a variety of devices, as well as commercial offset and packaging system workflows. She has been instrumental in educating the industry on the use of new software, both in the classroom and on-site.

Based on the feedback provided, Wallace covered a much-needed topic on how to properly use swatch book and color matching and the importance of ambient light when working with a client’s sample and the final printed product.

We’d like to hear from you. If you attended the original webcast or watched the replay, please share the most valuable tip you learned from the session.

Now at LexJet: Clear Positive Film

We’re excited to announce a new film designed for screen printers to create high-resolution, digital inkjet screen positives — at a fraction of the cost of traditional film.

LexJet Clear Positive Film creates dense black images that provide excellent light-blocking power for both fine lines and heavy spot colors. The nano-porous coating of this PET film is compatible with aqueous-pigmented black ink and absorbs high levels of ink, making this film more durable from scuffing and scratching – and it dries instantly when using photo-black ink. And with an opacity of less than 13%, your exposure times are quick.

Watch the video above to learn about how LexJet Clear Positive Film is used to output film separations on a Epson T-Series printers. You’ll also learn how to produce prints with more control and precision by pairing LexJet Clear Positive Film with an Epson RIP®-Kit such as the RTI Harlequin RIP®-Kit.

“The Epson T-Series is affordable and with our Epson software it gives them the full controls they need,” says Drew Nielubowicz of RTI-RIP. “When compared to other products on the market, it’s definitely the best value that’s out there.”
