What Printer Profile Should I Use

[customprints]

Hi, After posting a few posts here on the forum and going through some great help from more experienced members, I have printed a number of mugs that are easily sell-able. I have had some difficulties printing the colour red, Seems to be pink or purple...

One member has told me to print via the Richo printer not the PowerDriver.
Whilst printing via the Richo driver I have been told to the ICC Profile, But I am not sure what profile I should be selecting from the drop down list of available printer profiles?

Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks

Have you downloaded the separate profile? This is a different download to the Powerdriver.

If you're using Sawgrass' inks then you need the ICC profile from them.
All PowerDriver does is handle managing colours and printing with the appropriate ICC profile.
If you do it that way, then Photoshop is effectively blind from what your printer is doing, and so you can't soft proof,along with all the expensive and most likely patented software in Photoshop used in printer and colour management is thrown away and replaced by PowerDriver. If you've paid for Photoshop, then it seems silly to cripple a chunk of its functionality.

Power driver is excellent with Coraldraw, but as Pisquee points out restricts the benefits of Photoshop.

I had this same problem with my ricoh.
I must officially say it.... ICC for rjet ARE CRAP!!!!
reds are dirty pink, blues are wrong too!
I tried to get use to them but nope... I couldn't do that. no matter what i print it was useless (anything with red. other colours was ok ish)

Funny bit is that even a guy i know, who is a dustman and i thought he wouldn't care less, noticed wrong colours straight away :/


custom icc fixed the issue and i am printing descent now.

I managed to secure good contract with football club to print they official merchandise and it has LOADS of red they wouldn't be to happy with original jet icc profile
