print profiles for textiles

2007-04-30 by Joanie San Chirico

Hi all,
New member here. John Dean suggested I post to this group, thanks John! Does anyone here make custom profiles with Print Fix Pro, using large targets?
I've been having really good success printing on rolls of heavy habotai silk (http://www.joaniesanchirico.com/paint.html if you want to look) using an enhanced matte paper setting and without a print profile on an Epson 7800. I can send more details about the other print settings if necessary. I'm on a PC.
Now I want to print on cotton and the colors are coming out dull. I'm probably spoiled by the richness of the color on the silk. I know there are many small sheets of cotton out there specifically for ink-jet fabrics, but I print on rolls because my fine art pieces are quite large. I've been getting my fabric from Jacquard http://www.inkjetfabrics.com/ which doesn't sell ICC profiles, most of their customers use dye printers and RIP's.
So, does anyone here might already have ICC print profiles for cotton? I'd also be interested in purchasing profiles for silk, both Dupioni and Habotai. Again, I'm on a PC printing on an Epson 7800.
Thanks!
Joanie
