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 / Qualified 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
