    iPF-700 color matching

    I've got a customer printing glossy product labels, and looking for Pantone color matching. As usual the color is red,
    CMYK: 0/100/100/0; RGB: 255/0/0

    The color I get is:
    CMYK: 0/71/100/0; RGB: 255/76/0

    Color registration is perfect. There are no lines or image flaws. The colors just don't match.

    I tried the many Photoshop color profiles available, and every driver option that I could find.

    Is there anything else that I could have done? =^..^=

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      An iPF700 is not meant for that reason.

      You can hit the color blindly if you are lucky

      A 12 color machine would do that. Driven by RIP with spot color abilities and a color reader (like Eye One Pro)

          Pantone 485 is the most difficult color to match, and not much in the way of tools to get there. That's what I thought. Thanks. =^..^=
