We have just introduced a new service for online RGB Printer profile creation at a very low cost of $150 +GST.
These
profiles will be generated with the top end equipment (Barbieri Electronic "SpectroSwing") to obtain the best possible
accurate results.
This is
suitable for a RGB printer profile meaning that this type of profile
will not work with a Rip. It is more commonly used by people not as
critical about colour to spend the money on rip software, one very
common example of this is the way Epson have promoted this as their RGB
colour workflow to the market.
It's as simple as
download the target below, turn off colour management in the printer
driver, load the media you would like to profile, and print the target
out. Send the printed target to us and we will generate a unique ICC
profile and email it back to you.
Order online and we will send you the target to print
Allow
the print to fully dry (an absolute minimum of 30mins depending on the
media type), package the printed target carefully so as to not damage
the printed surface in any way, and send it to us along with an email
to notify us that it's coming. We will generate the profile and email
it back within 7 days from receipt of the printed target and payment.
You
should be careful to not touch the print area that the target will go
onto both before and after printing, this can leave marks on the
coating from the oils that naturally occur in our skin. This could
cause a false reading on the profile. This is good practice anyway and
many people use white cotton gloves to handle inkjet media to overcome
this.
PLEASE NOTE:
Each unique combination of printer, media, ink, and resolution will
require a different profile as any change here will make the profile
redundant and potentially incorrect. This price is not for translucent
or reverse lit/backlit films as these are created by different
equipment. This type of profile will offer more accurate printed
results than using generic profiles on the wrong stock, although does
not guarantee that that media/printer/ink combination is capable of
achieving the desired results. Also because this type of profile does
not allow for printer calibration the results may vary over time as
climate and printing conditions may vary.
