hi everyone.. i always realize when dooing proofs that yellow is the most tricky color which easily shifts.. but now i come up with a question mark...
i havent used hp prem instant dry semi in a long time.. as i only used fine art paper..
now for a project i wanted to use a paper with a large gamut that is easy to handle.. and returned to that.
i built a new profile which i hadent before.. and realized.. the yellow itself is pretty limited.. !.. when lookin at the built in calibration patches.. i see the yellow turning orange as more ink is aplied.
and lookin at the profiles gamut chart.. there is no peak up in yellow.. but its missing like 15%.. only there. compared to the canned one. the printed yellow ia like dE 12 off on a fogra wedge, too
is this a problem with that paper?
which affordable semi gloss paper do you guys use with a nice gamut ?
thnx

no answer so far...
i did some more testing and realized something even more strange!
i built a quick profile on everyday glossy.. same limit in yellow..
i printed with the semi prem settings on my proofing paper.. same limitation
i used the settig "hp semi proofing".. and printed on the semi prem paper.. et voila.. i get the same gamut then with the setting semi prem + the yellow!!.. ??
now.. how can that happen ???

Look at this thread (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=61621.0). I had something similar and it was a printhead issue. Good luck!

thnx for the hint!
sounds SO strange.. as it works with a different paper preset.. but i sure will get a new head the next days!

What you can do in advance is to check the printhead visually. If you see any magenta/yellow mixed in the strip, it`s probably the head that is malfunctioning. Magenta and yellow are mixing when you print regardless of the paper preset used. At first I though that it was the rag paper, but it happened in all other papers too. Good luck!

it cant be a printhead issue-- its only with those settings.. hm prem
