Printers Matching: Gulbena Texteis

How do we help Gulbena Texteis to print exactly the same results in two different EFI Reggiani printers?

Gulbena Texteis contacted Inèdit Software’s technical department when it acquired a new EFI Reggiani Hyper printer for its production and wanted to match it with its EFI Reggiani Renoir, which it would now use for samples.

Our technician Marc Gómez, visited them, analyzed the printers and prepared a complete 5-day process in which he will calibrate all their printers and match the two machines previously announced.

processs-01

Situation analysis: Our technician travels to the customer’s premises and analyzes the situation of the printers and the available equipment. He updates the neoStampa versions and prepares a 5-day work plan together with the project manager in Gulbena.

Printer calibration: To start with, we calibrate the printers with neoStampa Delta and Calibration Wizard. We follow the step by step and improve the color according to the ICC profile of each of the machines.

Matching between both printers: Once the machines are calibrated, we compare both profiles and from different linearizations, we proceed to create a new profile that matches both printers’ colors. We succeeded in matching colors.

Training: Finally, we dedicate a day to form our customers in re-profiling and execution of consistency tests so that they can always maintain the results over time.
