Default Wasatch, Profiloing Dual CMYK

Hi NKL,

In theory this is easy, but... First, recognize that a CMYK profile is a CMYK profile; it makes no difference how that CMYK is composed, e.g., whether light inks are used, two banks of CMYK, etc.--none of that info resides in the profile. So this is a straightforward case of CMYK profiling. But...

If you have an unusual set of inks and substrate you need to know how to set custom ink limits and linearize in your RIP. If you haven't done this before you may wish to get some expert assistance--it can be quite difficult. In addition, each RIP has its own wrinkles, and Wasatch is no exception. Also, this is dye sub, you say. This is another huge complication, as the end product is not the paper you're printing on, which is merely a transfer sheet, right? This is a triple-whammy, with many variables to contend with, including heat/humidity/time of the transfer, the measurability of the fabric, and so on. You may get some well-intended advice on this forum, but this is one situation when professional intervention is practically a necessity. You may contact me offline to discuss this further.

Best regards,

Mike Strickler
