How to Calibrate Your Large Format Printer to Get Correct Color?

Have you ever printed a graphic that looked "Christmas" red and green on screen but when you printed it, you ended up with purple and lime-yellow? The way images look on screen differs from the way they look in print, even though they aren't always so dramatic. Calibrating your monitor provides a screen display that simulates what prints on paper. Calibrating your large format printer ensures that what you print is consistent with what you see on screen. The two go hand in hand.

 Why Colors Look Different
There are many reasons why monitor displays and printed output are dissimilar including:

Monitors use additive RGB color, while printing uses subtractive CMYK pigments. Each method is a different way of reproducing color.
The human eye can distinguish more colors than inks can print.
In print, ink layering and overlapping cause subtle shifts in color not found in the individual pixels that make up a screen image. On screen, a red circle may overlap a yellow circle cleanly. In print, you may see orange where the overlap occurs.
Printed images don't have the same range, saturation, and contrast as a monitor, which makes the colors typically darker and less vibrant than on screen. Paper texture and brightness also affect—and change—a printed image.

How to Calibrate
The first step in printer calibration is to calibrate your monitor. Then, make sure you use the correct printer driver for your printer. Within the printer driver are controls for fine-tuning the overall appearance of color from your printer. Depending on your needs, this may be sufficient to get the color you want.

If you want to move beyond the basics of color calibration, you have two general methods to select from: visual and mechanical. The more expensive and accurate option is to use a hardware device that can read the output from your printer and make adjustments as necessary. For most users, visual calibration or the use of generic color profiles for your hardware is adequate.


Basic Visual Calibration
Using test images with a wide range of tonal values that ideally consist of a number of color bars, photographs, and blocks of colors, you can visually match the screen and print colors. You display and print a test image and then compare and adjust grayscale and color output in the controls provided for your printer.

You can obtain digital test images from the web and from some software or hardware manufacturers. Whether you are calibrating visually or with color management software, target images provide a range of color and grayscale targets for calibrating monitors, printers, scanners, and digital cameras. You can find free and commercial targets and other test images.

Color Calibration With ICC Profiles
ICC profiles provide a way to ensure consistent color across all your devices. Color and print professionals use files that are specific to each device on the system and contain information about how that device produces color. They create separate profiles based on various combinations of ink and paper—factors that affect the appearance of the printed material. The stock or default profiles for your printer model that come with your software, from your wide format printer manufacturer, or from other websites, are often adequate for most nonprofessional printing situations.


For precise color management needs, you can use color management software to develop custom ICC profiles for any device. Additionally, some online sources can create custom profiles for you. One such vendor is Chromix. ICC profiles are available for printers, monitors, scanners, digital cameras, and other equipment.



Calibration Tools
Color professionals use Color Management Systems, which include tools for calibrating monitors, scanners, printers, and digital cameras so they all "speak the same color." These tools often include a variety of generic profiles as well as the means to customize profiles for any of your devices.

Choose the calibration tools that match your pocketbook and your needs for accurate representation of color on screen and in print.

Don't stop with your inkjet printer. Calibrate all your color devices: monitor, scanner, and digital camera.

Tips for the Importance of Dye Sublimation Printers in Your Business

What is Dye Sublimation Printing?
It’s the chemistry behind dye sublimation that makes it the correct technique for printing on polyester and polyester resin coated products. Using a wide-format inkjet printer, dye-sub inks are printed on a special transfer paper. From there, the ink is heat transferred from the paper onto a fabric by using a heat press. The ink becomes a gas (hence the term “sublimation”) and enters the polyester fibers.

Compared to inkjet printing on other material like paper or vinyl, dye sublimation is a more involved process since it involves multiple steps. But don’t worry. With the right knowledge, dye-sublimation can be an enjoyable and profitable business. Here’s what you need to know to get started:

 You’ll Need to Use a Specific Type of Ink
When you’re transferring your graphics from paper to fabric, the ink needs to convert from a solid state to a gas. Since the chemical process is very specific for dye sublimation, you’ll need to use a specific type of ink known as disperse dyes (commonly referred to as “dye-sub inks”).

These dyes are able to go from a solid state to a gaseous state in high temperatures and will easily bond to polyester fabrics.

The color gamut of disperse dyes is incredibly vibrant. And, some brands like Mimaki have introduced fluorescent inks that can be used to push the color gamut even further!

Since disperse dyes are permanently bonded to your finished products, the result is long-lasting graphics that are fully washable.

You’ll Need a Special Dye Sublimation Printer
While similar to other wide format printers, dye sublimation printers are specific to the dye-sub application. They use disperse dyes which are dedicated to print on transfer paper only.

Dye-sublimation is experiencing tremendous growth and there is a great selection of dye sublimation printers available from the best brands in the industry. Here are a few that the ITNH team highly recommend:


Mimaki TS30: This 54” wide model is perfect for first-time dye sublimation printers.
Mimaki TS300P: A stepup from the TS30 model, the TS300P is 77” wide with faster print speeds and a high gap print head.
Epson F7200: Epson’s 64” roll-to-roll dye sublimation printer was designed for versatility.
Mutoh RJ-900: This 42” entry-level model is a four-color, roll-to-roll printer, perfect for apparel and flags.
Mutoh VJ-1638WX: A 64” model, this Mutoh printer is ideal for everyday printing on trade show materials, interior designs, apparel and more.
The wide selection of dye-sublimation printers available allows you to choose the perfect fit for your application and budget. Printers are available from 44” wide up to 10’ wide.  Some are designed for the occasional job and others are capable of impressive factory production.


You’ll Need Additional Equipment
The dye sublimation process involves multiple steps, but they are simple and straight forward as long as you have the following items:

Heat Press
Your heat press is just as important as your large format sublimation printer. And just like your printer, heat presses are available in a variety of sizes, styles and price points. Here are a few of the most common types to give you an idea of what’s out there:

Flatbed Press: If you’re transferring onto solid objects or smaller sample fabrics, a flatbed press is your best bet. Plus, they are great for printing poly t-shirts including those “all-over” designs.
Calender Press: These presses use oil or electrically heated drums for heat transfer and are intended for apparel, décor and soft signage. Calender presses are best for high-volume printing.
Cutting & Sewing

Depending on your particular desired application, you may consider cutting and sewing options. Like the printer, these items range from simple and relatively inexpensive to large factory equipment.  Its best to talk with an expert to learn more about the equipment that will be your best fit.





Dye Sublimation is Affordable

Now, the market has expanded to give people more options to choose from and the cost of the equipment has been dramatically reduced. The technology has also improved, making the sublimation process much easier with even higher quality printing.


Some of the best names in dye sublimation printing, like Mimaki, Epson and Mutoh, now offer printers at $10,000 or less. And if you consider the potential that dye sublimation printing has for your revenue stream, this investment will be well worth it.
