ipixphotolab Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Anybody out there have a solution to blown highlights on the 2901? When viewing an image on the screen, you don't see any blown out areas (especially in skin tones on kids / faces / etc) but when you print, it is blown out. If I print the same image on our Canon iPF inkjet, we don't get blow outs. We also have issues with yellowing in high contrast areas of images. Sometimes you can take out 6 contrast to remove the yellow issue but then you have a flat image. In most cases, you can register the magazine to fix the issue. The problem though is that I end up re-registering magazines almost daily. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just an idea, don't know if this is to problem, but What profile is the photo ? RGB ? sRGB ? Adobe-RGB ? ProPhoto RGB ? Sometimes "professionals" use Lightroom which has it's own profile which the Noritsu doesn't like. Looks fine on screen, but printed on a Noritsu, looks kinda funny. Try converting to plain old RGB and print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Replace the colorimeter calibration plate if it's very old and worn. Check the pressure spring underneath the colorimeter head is not broken, this pushes the print up towards the colorimeter head. Make sure the feed rollers for the colorimeter unit are clean and the stop positions have been calibrated. Other causes are an incompatible software and profile data versions. Incorrect paper profile number for the type of paper you are using. Also make sure your chemistry is in good control. That's about all I can think of for now!

ipixphotolab Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Dave S, I've been wondering if it's more of a profile problem. The print was done on Kodak Royal Matte, but I haven't seen a profile in the system for that type of paper. Where can you get a profile for it?

Dave S Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Kodak Royal Digital is on No.155. The profile data has to be 7.01 or later and the main system software must be J or K The software and profile data is supplied by Noritsu Koki Problems like this can happen if for example you use a new profile data version that is not compatible with the existing software version. For example Profile Data 7.14 and software G001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Camera Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 If it only happens with one magazine, Noritsu had us unregister the magazine, then reregister it. It worked! Also, our paper was getting old and not printing good whites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipixphotolab Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just wanted to give an update on my original problem. I purchased the latest profile version (7.15) and replaced the MLVA lamp. Between the two of those changes, the blown highlight issue is gone!
