    every media is normally tuned to the material, so overinking is one of the things that a profiling process helps to tune.

    Craig,
    Are you using Activsol ink or Citrosol?

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry to butt in to the discussion but we’re finding it hard to get ICC profiles for some of our stock. We too have a grenadier but with wasatch 6.5 Rip and the Activasol Premium Ink. I Know the inks are quite new and a lot of suppliers haven’t done any profiling for them yet. We’ve found the Inks to be excellent on vinyl and canvas but are stuggling to find a good profile for our Pull-up material. can anyone help.

    colour tranform
    right hand side should be no more than around 250% 300 tops in my view

    some old CR profiles had this set at 400%???
