custom ICC profile for sublimation
Have you ever struggled to print accurate colours onto a mug, or other item?
Blacks may print brown, or purple; yellow may print as green; and reds could be pink or orange. If this sounds familiar, then you’re not alone.
To print the correct colours, your printer needs to know how to print 16.7 million colours from its inkset of just 4 or 6 colours. That’s where a colour correction profile can help. A colour correction profile (often called an “ICC profile”) is created by comparing the colours that your printer actually prints against what they should be, and then providing a list of “corrections” to your printer through your software or printer driver.You may already have an ICC profile supplied by your ink supplier, but they can only provide a “best guess” correction using their own printer. Your printer is different. All printers are manufactured to within tolerances and one profile is unable to be accurate for all such variations in manufacture. To achieve the very best colour accuracy, you need a custom colour correction profile that’s matched to your printer, your sublimation inkset, and your paper. That’s where we can help.Use our easy 4-step process!1. Place your order online.2. You’ll receive three colour charts by email. Print these charts using the recommended settings and post them to us.3. We will scan the charts using an advanced spectrometer to accurately measure the colours that your set-up is producing. From this we will create your custom colour-correction profile that’s unique to your printer, inkset, and paper.4. Check your email for your brand new colour-correction profile complete with easy instructions for using it in Adobe Photoshop or similar.That’s it!This service is suitable for any printer/ink system, including dye, pigment, or dye-sublimation.
Hi
Is is possible to create an ICC profile for sublimation printing using a Datacolor SpyderPrint? Is it any different to creating ‘normal’ ICC profiles?
Hello Paul,
I have a question. I have a problem with sublitmation printing. I bought sublimation ink and one colour LIGHT BLACK does not work well. What happens is that How that colour changes from dark grey to lighter grey till white it is more brown even biege. What do you think about that. I tried few profiles to solve that but it didnt work.
Waiting for your answer.
My printer EPSON 9600 STYLUS PHOTO PRO
Hi,
I need ICC Profile for Epson L1800 – 6 Color Printer using Inktec Subli-Nova ink.
When printing directly with the epson driver, I get a yellow tint on all my transfers. I have a ICC Profile but using that, blacks do not come as deep black – they come as rather bluish black.
Can you help fix this by building a new profile which gives rich / sharp and accurate results.
How can I order your service?
Let me know.
Thanks
Im also looking for icc profile for epson wf7710 printer die sublimation. Tried to choose ICM and let epson decide the color option but still colors are not correct.

Hi Paul.
I am using korean sublimation ink. Grey are coming out purple or brown after printing and after pressing too. I am using epson artisan 800 and epson L1300. Both give me almost same result about the grey colour. So maybe i should get a custom icc profile for these printers. Can you help me?
if you dont have icc then yes, you should get one for your inks.
how much and how can I order your services?
please click “store” link on to opf the page. more info about custom icc service there
Hi Paul, I’m confused. How can you measure before the heating and pressure is applied? The colour changes after that.
You are 100% right. and to be sure this is done properly, I do it my self. All need is just printed charts on best quality paper and ink and rest of the job, like pressing is done in house. hope this help.
Hi I need an icc doing as the coulours/quality is just not right can you help.
Yes, but wrong colours are not always ICC related.
Good day
When I print photos my pictures is coming out dark my black is brown please advise about a iCC profile for an Epson L3050 for sublimation
if your blacks turn brown it normally means you cook it too long or too hot. basically black is burning.
hi paul, is it still available if i order now? how long does it takes? any guarantee i will get the results that i want? thanks
Hi, yes it is. Unfortunately I Cant give any warranty as this all depends of quality of inks, paper and if you set your printer correctly. But please stay assured, that all icc i made helped people improve colours 😉
all the best
Paul
Hi Paul,
Is it still valid?
You works with any inks ?
Thanks, Alexander
yes it is 😉
hi paul
if i ordered how long will this take
cheers phil
Du to very busy period it can take few days. regards
HI Pual,
i have sent you two emails but not getting reply. i use sublimation film to transfer on phone case. in my case, can you still custom the ICC profile for me?
Regards,
Hi Jef.
We can do icc profile but jot from the film.
Film is used only to teansfer ink to the substrat so no matter if paper or film is used, colours should be same. Regards
Paul
Hi Paul Is it worth getting a profile for sublimation mugs from an epson 1500w and what does it cost?
Regards Andy T
Hi Andy,
Is always worth to get custom icc. It cost £25.
Hi Paul,
My most issue is I print on Chromaluxe Alunminum panels , and even the digital test images after sublimation seems a bit dark after printing.
could you make a custom profile for me to make every image i print look like what i see on monitor?
how much does it cost ?
please contact me :
Hi there, if your colours are ok but darker it could be more to do with your screen settings. Are you able to pop some test images via email so i can see how bad are they?
Thanks
Paul
