Canon iPF6400 Profile for Kodak Photo-Tex Adhesive Fabric
Hello, Our Visual Communications Program (VCP) is offering an “Applied Printing” class to students interested in learning to make print profiles for printing on various printer and media combinations. We have a number of Canon and Epson inkjet printers. The Canon printers are all imagePROGRAF models including (2) 5100’s, (1) 6400 and a Pro-1000. Our Epson printers include (2) Stylus Pro 4900’s (1) SureColor P-800 and (1) SureColor P-600. Our latest profiling project is to make a print profile for our Canon iPF6400 printer with Kodak’s Photo-Tex Adhesive Fabric media. We had very little luck getting recommendations for a Canon media setting that works well for printing color targets via Chromix’s “ColorValet”. Have tried several different Canon media settings including “Adhesive Textured Matte”, “Premium Plain Paper 80lb.”, “Special 1”, “Special 6” and “Thin Fabric Banner 3”. We get varying amounts of ink bleed on our color target prints with every setting we’ve tried. The least amount of bleed that we’ve found is with the “Thin Fabric Banner 3” media setting. That setting has a barely perceptible amount of bleed. We’ve not tried any of the “vinyl” settings, because this is a fabric media with a woven texture surface. Just wanted to ask if anyone on the list has experience printing on Kodak Photo-Tex Adhesive Fabric with any inkjet printer? If anyone has experience with a Canon 6400 and this media, could you please share your recommendations and/or comments? Thank You.

At Shutterfly, we used to use Photo-Tex polyester fabric for wall decals. You should be aware that there's a couple of flavors of that media, one for aqueous inks and another for solvent inks (Photo-Tex S). Make sure you have the correct one. The last time I profiled the Photo-Tex solvent ink media was on the Epson SureColor S60600 printer using an EFI Fiery XF RIP and didn't have any problems with it. You may have to consider RIP software that gives you better control over ink restrictions than printer driver media settings. It would also be a great learning process for your students to start with the "raw" unrestricted behavior of one of these printers and learn how to properly calibrate it prior to profiling.
