1. The ink ICC Profile is an ink discharge scheme for UV printers to use a certain ink ratio to print on a certain medium. Each printer has a default ink discharge scheme.

2. The commonly mentioned ink CMYK color is the four-color color of the printing standard. A high-quality ink should have each color close to the theoretically specified printing color. However, there are some differences in the color of inks on the actual market. This difference is caused by different ink raw materials, production process technology, and whether the printing color standards are strictly followed.

3. The ICC Profile of a certain ink is only an ink discharge scheme for the ink to be used on a certain medium by a certain printer. Theoretically, if any factor of ink, printer, or medium is changed, the output results of the same ink discharge scheme will be different, and the degree of difference may be large or small. For diversified personalized printing, using a ready-made ink ICC Profile does not necessarily have the best print output results for each specific print job output. For each specific print, a new ink discharge scheme, i.e., a new ink ICC Profile, needs to be given. In fact, when there is no specific curve for a specific print job, the existing ink curve is not very meaningful to the user. At this time, the ink curve can only be used as a reference.

4. UV printer software (RIP) has powerful color adjustment functions, which can be used to obtain the required output quality.

5. As far as ink is concerned, it is not very important whether there is an ink curve or not. The important thing is to choose a truly high-quality ink. With the cooperation of a UV printer with excellent performance and software (RIP), the color can be fine-tuned by the software to obtain excellent image output quality.

6. If the ink quality is not high, it is impossible to get high-quality color quality! The color value of each color of truly high-quality ink is closer to the color standard. UV printers with excellent performance use high-quality specially formulated inks. Even without a specific curve, regular printing can output excellent print quality. The inkjet program of excellent UV printers will also follow the printing color standard when outputting patterns. For inferior inks that do not follow the printing color standard well, the need for color curves becomes more important, and the color difference is large during regular printing. But the fact is that even with a color curve, it is often not very helpful. It is impossible to output excellent print quality with inferior ink.

7. The three core factors related to inkjet print output quality: the printer itself, ink quality, and software processing system. The perfect combination of the three can give the best color.

So, is the ink ICC Profile important in actual production?

Many users of UV flatbed printers always ask whether the device software is configured with an ink curve before purchasing. They feel that they can only buy with a curve setting. The ink curve is not so important for personalized printing and diversified printing. When mass production is dedicated to printing one color, it is necessary to make an ink curve specifically to make the printing effect uniform, which makes the ink curve important. If you use a combination of high-quality ink + excellent performance printing equipment + excellent software, the color you get will also be an ideal effect. Whether the UV printer gives an ink curve is not the basis for judging the quality of the UV printer itself and the ink. The ink curve is only a specific inkjet solution!

You can buy a UV printer from a regular manufacturer and specially formulated high-quality ink to ensure the printing quality and quality, and the ink is not prone to clogging and damaging the print-head.
