Our remote custom made profiles is Free for anyone using our ArtBloc media.
Why would you want a custom ICC profile?
Profiles tell your computer how to adjust an image to match the unique characteristics of your
printer and media. Your printer is only as good as the profiles that you use.
In order to realise
the full potential of our canvas, paper & signage media we recommend that you use our remote custom created ICC Colour Profiles.
What's the procedure?
Our Free remote custom made profiling service (Mac / PC) is very simple - once you've downloaded the target files & instructions you just need to print out the patch target files on our canvas or paper that you require the profile for and post them to ArtBloc Company Ltd.
We shall then scan the colours with our highest quality Gretag spectrometer which creates a totally unique bespoke ICC profile tailored to your printing environment. We normally e-mail the ICC profile and the "How to install and use profiles" document to you within 48 hours.
If you are unsure about installing and using the profile then you can also download comprehensive instructions free of charge, in the unlikely event that you are having trouble using profiles then we have technical staff who are only a phone call away.
My inkjet printer uses a RIP, is this still OK to be profiled using this Free service?
No, the above procedure only suitalbe for when you print directly from software driver (EG. Photoshop) to your inkjet printer, by doing so the data goes from your computer to the printer in RGB format (even though your printer may use CMYK or CcMmYK inks or other combinations, it is an RGB printer in terms of the data it receives), however, if you have a RIP, the data from your computer to the RIP is CMYK which requires a different profiling procedure. If you need CMYK profiling for a RIP or toner-based printer, please contact us.
