Roland "i" series printers and profiles
Every time I get some some new media to try from a new supplier I can’t find profiles for the "i" series of Rolands.
Is it just me doing something wrong or do others with these printers have the same issues?
and I’m not talking about weird stuff either, I mean there most popular vinyls etc
Spandex told me they just haven’t made profiles for theirs as it’s not worth it for them 😕 and now on a 3m product (IJ40) I can’t find a profile either (although yet to check with supplier but nothing on line, only for the other series of printers)
My printer is a SP540i, anybody else have issues like this? I’m thinking maybe it’s just me not doing it right but I’ve loaded others 😕
cheers

Warren,
use a generic profile, or make your own,
there are thousands of products and hundreds of printers, if all the printer manufacturers made all the profiles they would not have time to make printers.
most manufacturers will provide profiles for the most common rips. but the same thing applies, they cant make profiles for all the rips and printers.
profiles are not that critical, on similar materials.
pick one, print a test, if it looks good use it.Peter

from experience i have found most profiles are a waste of time and material.
they mostly try to correct (and fail) for the short comings of the material.if the material is any good then one profile will do the job. i have one from allprint that is just so correct it prints very well on
banner with feed correction.
gloss and mat vinyls.
photo grade paper.
fabrics.
canvas.ps IJ 20 and IJ40 are superb but you will probably want to buy it from william smith not spandex.
