Grayscale Printing
Question:
I am trying to print a neutral grey and it is printing green. What can be done to correct
this?
Answer:
This is an issue that can happen with every digital printer, no matter the manufacturer,
and can be extremely frustrating, especially if you’re trying to push that urgent job out
the door at 5pm on a Friday evening! Fortunately there are things that can be done to fix
the problem. Depending on the underlying issue and the makeup of the file you’re trying
to output, the solution can range from easy calibrations and the use of correct profiles to
the more detailed re-characterization of your workflow.
First and foremost there are several issues that effect how color is interpreted ranging
from the lighting to even the human eye itself. The color profiles that have been created
for your machine are designed to perform under a wide range of variables as printers
differ slightly from machine to machine. This accounts for why some end users haveslightly from machine to machine. This accounts for why some end users havefrom machine to machine. This accounts for why some end users have
reported to be happy with the quality of the grey printed and others have not. Grey is
typically a color range that will vary from printer to printer even when performed on the
same model printer side by side due its subtle nature. Print head calibration, print head
age, lighting and media are all factors in determining what grey is actually printed.
Those issues notwithstanding, there are several ways to get the colors you desire
from your particular printer. Before starting, remember that most importantly you must
make sure you are using a Roland material with the proper profile to insure proper ink
amounts and a consistent white point of the material.
