Hey! Have some trouble with the edge here. Trying to print of a tif on the edge of a wild rose (official flower of ALberta). Basically the pedals are a nice pink/magenta color. I know in the file the color does not have any cyan, but when i print it of, there is some cyan in the pedals. Enough that it turns the color purple.
Any suggestions on this? I just can not figure out a way to fix this.
Thanks!

Jeff, I don't know if this would help, but it never stopped me from making suggestions before. In Omega, click on "file", about 6 lines down - "Color Management", and note your settings. Mine is set as follows (rightly or wrongly, I usually get to print what I see); Gerber Imaging: - "EDGE 220 Vinyl CMYK GerberTone Photo". Image Source Profile: - CMYK is set to "Gerber (GSP) SWOP CMYK" - RGB is set to "Gerber (GSP) RGB" This may or may not help, but it's a start. Call me if you need.

Thanks There Gene, those are the same setting that I have in my Edge. I am trying something else right now (just phone tech support at nd graphics, I will see what happens)

Nevermind, their suggestion never worked at all.... The pedals on the rose are still turning out purple... what a pain.

Jeff, Another thing you may try is in your photo program. In Adobe it's under Image/Mode/CMYK (or RGB). Try adjusting the CMYK mix in the artwork itself before Exporting it to Gerber. Export it as a JPG instead of a TIFF and see if that works.

Jeff,
There is another site that has a bunch of smart folks when it comes to the edge. www.4edgetalk.com

I'm a big fan of "band-aid" solutions, especially if it's not a recurring problem. So even though there may be college courses worth of technical info on color management out there... I'm more one to experiment with a few 10 minute solutions that may work.
Gene's is a good one for example... if the edge see's things purplier then it should... send someting less purple, (or magentier )
another idea I would try first, in the print options box (123 icon) drag the cyan down to the last color in the print order... then print the first 3 colors... if it looks right without cyan, yer done!

Right-o Doug....I was going to suggest not printing the Cyan.....no cyan, no purple tone.

Also if your tif file looks like vector artwork (all solid colors) try printing it with the halftone spiral dot at 95 LPI

Not sure what program you are using but I print to my Edge from Flexi and choosing the correct bitmap rendering makes a big difference.
A Lot to choose from >> perpetual, relative colorimetric, saturation, absolute colorimetric, and spot all print differently.
I find relative colorimetric prints closest to what I see on screen and can expect from the printer. Perpetual second.
