In this video I wil demostrate how to setup the Canon IX6820 with the PrintFab Rip software on a windows machine. This same setup will work for other printers as well.
I have an epson 1430, the special settings screenprinting isn't showing up in the other section, but I want all cartidges to print black. Is there a way to get that menu to show up?
Thanks Ryan its a good video. I tried all the settings as you mentioned for ix6820 on windows pc but I am not able to get darker black. I increased the dpi to 9600 and set media to Transparent but there is no difference. However I noticed one thing that in the print preview window the media shows as plain paper even when I selected the media as Transparent. Is there any other place where I have to change it?
Thank you so much for developing this software. Do you have a tutorial for the Mac setup? I haven’t looked through your videos yet. You have a new sub btw. Thanks again!
I’m interested in this rip software. Does it work just as good as Accurip? I do manual color seps on PS and wish i sad some type of rip to get cleaner halftones.
Good question. I've noticed this before and decided to do a test. I filled a PGBK cartridge with magenta ink to see when it prints from that cartridge vs the BK cartridge and couldn't isolate it with either the Canon drivers or Printfab. Setting up multiple black images in Illustrator I couldn't get an object to print with the PGBK cartridge as the image should of printed in magenta ink, but only printed black. There is no way to isolate the PGBK (XL black cartridge) on the ix6820 in PrintFab. You can control the smaller BK cartridge with the multi-black feature turned on then enable or disable that cartridge. The "single black" option also only pulls from the smaller BK cartridge. I'm not sure why this is, I'll ask the developers and post the reply when I hear back. - Bryan
I followed the instructions but I cannot get the black to print dark enough. I have black in all the cartridges. What are the settings to get the black to print very dark.
Under the main tab , for paper choose transparency or Photo Platinum pro (darker). Resolution choose 2400 or 9600 dpi. Under options tab (pc)or special settings screen printing (mac) >halftone screen mode choose "multi black" . Under screen ink saturation leave it at 200%. You can always adjust this higher or lower to increase or decrease ink coverage. That should be it. If it's not dark at this point increase the screen ink saturation % or your ink may be for photo printing and translucent in that case try our canon formulation ink. It's super black. www.filmdirectonline.com/copy-of-fd-dye-black-ink-choose-size/
I am having trouble with the Mac version of PrintFab that I bought last month. It works great except that I cannot seem to get my custom settings to stay. It's a real pain having to set all of the options for every page that I have to print. Can you help me? Thanks!
