Profile building and maintenance

- Create and maintain ICC output profiles for dye-sublimation and UV print processes across all production substrates
- Run the full workflow: media setup, linearisation, ink limiting (per-channel and total ink limit), ink restriction, black generation (GCR/UCR) strategy, profile build, and iterative refinement
- Build multi-channel / extended-gamut profiles where our configurations use light and additional inks beyond CMYK
- Create device-link profiles and set rendering-intent policy for different job types
- Maintain a versioned profile library with clear naming, change logs and rollback capability

RIP workflow ownership

- Configure and manage colour workflows in EFI Fiery, Wasatch SoftRIP, and ONYX — media presets, calibration curves, spot colour tables, output profiles
- Standardise settings across RIPs so the same artwork produces matched output regardless of which queue it runs through
- Build and maintain spot-colour / brand-colour libraries and named-colour replacement tables

Measurement, verification and control

- Own spectrophotometer operation and maintenance (X-Rite i1Pro / eXact / i1iSis, Barbieri, Konica Minolta or equivalent)
- Define and enforce verification tolerances using ΔE (CIEDE2000) against agreed targets; set pass/fail gates for production
- Build a repeatable QC routine: control strips, daily/weekly calibration checks, drift monitoring and trend reporting
- Diagnose and correct colour drift — distinguish RIP/profile causes from press, ink, media, environmental and post-process causes

Process integration (critical for sublimation)

- Characterise how heat-press variables (temperature, dwell time, pressure) shift final colour, and lock in validated press recipes per substrate
- Account for substrate coating variation, ambient temperature and humidity in profile validity




- Work with QC and vendors on incoming ink and blank/coated-substrate consistency

Standards, documentation and training

- Document every profile and workflow as an SOP a trained operator can follow without you present
- Train press operators and prepress staff on calibration routines and when to escalate
- Set up monitor calibration and soft-proofing at prepress and design workstations so on-screen approvals are trustworthy
- Support new substrate, ink or machine introductions with characterisation and profiling from day one

What we're looking for

Must have

- 4+ years doing colour management in a production print environment (wide-format, textile, industrial or packaging)
- Demonstrated experience building ICC profiles from scratch — not only loading supplied profiles
- Hands-on RIP experience with at least two of Fiery, Wasatch, ONYX; willingness and ability to get to depth on all three
- Working knowledge of dye-sublimation and UV curing processes and their different colour behaviour
- Fluent with spectrophotometers and profiling software (Fiery Color Profiler Suite, i1Profiler, CoPrA, Chromix ColorThink or similar)
- Solid grasp of colour science fundamentals: Lab/LCh, gamut mapping, rendering intents, metamerism, illuminant effects, ΔE metrics
- Structured, data-driven troubleshooting habits and a tolerance for methodical iteration

Good to have

- G7 Expert / Skilled certification, Idealliance Colour Management Professional (CMP), or EFI Fiery certification
- Familiarity with ISO 12647 and Fogra characterisation data
- Experience with printer-to-printer fleet matching across multiple machines
- Textile or hard-goods sublimation experience (poly-coated rigid substrates, garments, metal, acrylic, ceramic)
- Comfort with scripting or spreadsheet automation for measurement data analysis
- Experience introducing third-party inks on OEM hardware and re-profiling accordingly
