But I have plenty of photo paper here so I'll pick from one of them.

Paul I summarize (because my friend Google translation is not true).
"I sent a sublimation printing on paper.
-brand paper?
-the mark of ink?
- Two A4 envelope with two stamps.
- £ 25 by check, Paypal ....?
- Your address?
- Other things?

Sorry i realy need to update that

i will send you pdf with instructions how to print the charts.
You just need to
print charts on sublimation paper as you would normaly print for mugs.
All you need to do is print them and send them to me. I do the rest. In 24h after i got your prints i will send you your custom made profile. Simple
nothing else is needed.

Thank you Paul!

I just want to add my word of thanks to Paul for using his newer profiling device to create a profile for my Brother printer.

Although I have my own profiling device (ColorMunki), Paul's device uses many more colour patches to come up with a more accurate profile first time out. The ColorMunki uses less colour patches but allows you to "optimise" the profile specific to each photo/design, but Paul's latest device means that optimising isn't required for the vast majority of items.

I printed up a ceramic tile last week, using one of Paul's Valentine Templates (it was a mug template but I adapted it to fit the tile).

[CENTER][/CENTER]

The photo and template frame on the left is as it looks on the computer. The tile on the right is a printed tile that's been photographed. Nothing has been tweaked or altered to make the tile look better. That's as it is. With the exception of a slight weakness in the pink/reds, the actual photo is far more accurate than anything I've ever been able to produce from my set-up in the past. No matter whether I've used expensive Artanium inks with a 6-ink £300+ printer, or not, the reproduction of the photo is closer than anything I've been able to achieve before this. (And this was not printed with a £300+ printer, nor with 6-inks, and I'm not saying where the inks came from... :cough:).

All I can add to this is that, if you're struggling to get good colours from your set-up, get yourself a custom made ICC profile. Don't struggle with some near-miss generic profile supplied by Sawgrass if you're struggling with colours - save yourself a lot of hassle with a custom profile. Yes there are many places you could go to get a custom profile, but Paul will always go that extra mile to help you out and guide you through it.
