Drytac extends media profile offering

Drytac has created thousands of ICC profiles for its digital media based on popular printer models, inks and Rips and added them to its revamped Drytac.com website.

Over 1,800 Drytac media profiles have been created by the Mimaki colour engineering team at the printer manufacturer's headquarters in Japan. These profiles are compatible with Mimaki wide-format printers up to 1.6m and including print-and-cut, eco-solvent and UV technologies. The profile selection also covers all the ink configurations available, such as SS2, ES3 eco-solvent inks and LUS 170, LUS 175 and LUS 200 series UV-LED inks, and all ink sets-up including CMYKCMYK, CMYKLcLm, and special colours. In addition, there are profiles for both white and clear inks for all Mimaki UV machines for multi-layer printing. The Drytac profile collection also comprises nearly 30 HP Latex certifications, profiles and machine settings on the PrintOS portal, which includes profiles for the new R Series printer; a wide range from the Roland Profile Centre, which includes all Eco-Sol Max ink types for VersaCamm and TrueVis systems, including the latest models; profiles for OKI ColorPainter; and profiles for Fujifilm Acuity LED 1600 II, for both the Caldera and ColorGate Rip platforms. Drytac is also constantly expanding the range of colour profiles and settings on the Epson Connect cloud service. A complete range of profiles for the new Ricoh Latex Pro devices, in particular combining Drytac's clear products and Ricoh's new white latex ink technology, is coming soon. Drytac is also working with Caldera, ColorGate, Onyx and providers of local Rips included with devices, such as Roland Versaworks and Mimaki Rasterlink. "Through working in tandem with printer and software manufacturers, we have made literally thousands of profiles accessible via our website," Shaun Holdom, global product manager at Drytac. "The selection is being constantly updated and, additionally, we have the in-house capability to provide custom profiles as required."
