custom ICC profile for sublimation

icccustom 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?

    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

  5. 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?

    1. Paul

      if you dont have icc then yes, you should get one for your inks.

    Hi Paul, I’m confused. How can you measure before the heating and pressure is applied? The colour changes after that.

    1. Paul

      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.

        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

        1. Paul

          if your blacks turn brown it normally means you cook it too long or too hot. basically black is burning.

    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,

    1. Paul

      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,

    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 :

    1. Paul

      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
