Have a review of our FAQ on such a matter (http://www.printerowners.co.uk/faq/12/1 ... vanced.htm) - select the one 3 up from the bottom.

You can download a profile from Sawgrass providing your using officially supported inks. Otherwise you can get a profile made (PM Paul on here) but we don't discuss other inks due to the small printer patent in place.
