You need to have one created for exactly your own set up to ensure perfect colour results. Paul does a great service for around £25. You pay, download colour charts and print two copies of each. Mail these to him and after a few days you will get ICC profile file to use when printing.

I was often told that the sawgrass SG400 no need icc profile . if I buy this profile and it is not going
If this is more than a hobby and you want accurate colour representation, even on the SG400 which we have as well purely for mugs, then you will need custom ICC profile. As stated before the PD4 wasn't very accurate.
but adjust the colors look good . I just only problems with the brightness on the product
Ignore the colours on the paper, they are irrelevant. This is why you must have an icc profile for your printer. Sawgrass will have one for your printer (assuming it's a supported model) on their site, downloading and installing that will produce far better results.
If they are still not acceptable then get a custom one made as described above.

we used the sawgrass one. never had a problem.
Powerdriver simply manages different profiles for you. You can download specific profiles from SG website if you want to use outside Powerdriver. If these still don't work get SG tech support on it, get them to dial in and check your settings.
You're paying a premium for SG products, one reason for this is the tech support backup, get your moneys worth!
Nic520, you bought custom ICC from me. next day you opened paypal dispute to get money back as ICC not received (!!!), and now you bombarding me with emails to help you? :confused:
what is going on? :confused::eek:
I am guessing it looks right on your screen which is not calibrated. Most people have the screen brightness turned up for easier viewing but this gives a false impression of what the print will be like. Try creating an adjustment layer (brightness/contrast) in Photoshop and add +10 or +15 brightness to start with. The image on your screen will now look too bright but should print correctly. As UKPM said get a profile and also consider a screen calibrator.
