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 explicit 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 t
