Re: [colorvision_group] print profiles for textiles

2007-04-30 by CDTobie@aol.com

>>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.

Cotton is no more just "cotton" that paper is just "paper"... you 
really need to have custom profiles built for the specific fabric in 
question. PrintFIX PRO licencing terms do not allow for the selling of 
profiles, but they do allow for providing profiles to consulting 
clients. I assumes someone on the list might be interested in 
consultiing with you on such a project. But for $500 you could get the 
system for youself, and be able to profile any medium you care to, 
whenever you want. That would also allow you to experiment with finding 
the best media setting, and making any necessary edits to the profiles 
after creation; for unusual media such as fabrics, edits are commonly 
necessary, and are best done with the printer and fabric directly at 
hand, not remotely.
