An important aspect of achieving the best results with sublimation printing is the use of an ICC profile. ICC profiles are files that help your printer understand how to accurately reproduce colours based on the specific ink and paper being used. They are essential for ensuring that the colors you see on your screen are the colors that get printed on your substrate. For Candilicious Sublimation Ink, the ICC profile can be easily downloaded by scanning the QR code supplied on the package you received, ensuring that users can quickly set up their printers for optimal printing results.

In summary, Candilicious Sublimation Ink offers a practical solution for those looking to engage in sublimation printing.

The inclusion of an ICC profile ensures that users can achieve accurate and vibrant prints, making Candilicious a solid choice for high-quality sublimation printing.
