Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I bought a set of sublimation inks for my C88 and an ICC profile from one of the more reputable companies that advertises on the forums, and the ICC profile is burned on a blank cd. I just thought it was kind of crappy that I paid $35 for what I thought was going to be a professional software program. Is that how they all come???
If you didn't get what you were expecting, you may want to contact the company and see what they can do.
The description of the ICC Profile on the site seems to describe exactly what it is though?
Quote:
An ICC profile is basically a small file which you load onto your system and every time you print from Corel or Photoshop, etc. your printer knows to use this file and therefore prints accurate colors
So long as it's legal and it does what you wanted it to do I wouldn't worry about it. I agree that that kind of thing makes a bad impression/takes you aback, but ultimately it doesn't really matter.
The deal Sawgrass usually does is you buy the first profile and then if you upgrade or change printers you receive the profile free. So you only pay once. That is why I always buy my ink from the same supplier and they know I have paid for the profile and when I changed printers all they had to do was e-mail me the new version.
I agree with WordUp. The true value that you purchased was the time, capital investment and skill into creating the ICC profiles. I would rather the companies save the cost of the CD, the case and shipping and just email me the file or allow it to be downloaded. Once you have it installed in your computer, you are never going to go back to the CD again. In the long run, I think you are going to be happier with a high quality ICC profile that gives you great colors but came on a burnt CD than you would be with a crappy ICC profile that gives you bad colors but came in a really fancy package (that is not going to help you sell more product).
Just an opinion from someone that has had good and bad ICC profiles before.
Burned ICC Profile?
