Alright, guys, In today's video, we're gonna be looking at adding some IC C profiles to our actual designs with flexi print. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za. co dot Z A. We make sure and easy to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates. Otherwise, we back into the tutorial here. Now, what we want to do to add IC C profiles, we first want to download one. Now, this is gonna vary depending on your machine and your, um uh, model, obviously. So what? I would recommend our support. This is a machine you've got. Which one do they recommend? And then you just download that one now to locate it, I'm gonna show you. What we wanna do is we wanna go to the website cncu.co dot Z A. You can simply type that in UR URL press and go there or try Google it. Then under the home page, we want to scroll down till we find the printers area. And then we've got two options to set up our, um or locate our IC C. Profiles from the first one is a direct to film DFT textile printer. And the next one is direct to film UVDTF printer. So you can go. I think this one has one option. This one has a few. So I'm gonna go to the top one for now. But like there are support, which one they recommend. And under there, if we scroll down, we have options, but you'll see on top here, we've got folder called, um the HD. OK, but yeah, in any case, So just look for the one that says IC C profile. Select that, and then it will open another folder, Scroll down and you can see we've got the different options. Now, for the sake of this tutorial, I'm just gonna go with the top one. With the DTF film, it's a 720 by 1000 and 80. So I'm gonna click that, And once you click it, it will start to download for you and add it in your download folder. Now, I've already moved mine to another folder, so you can do the same if you want it. But I've just put mine on another folder there. So we've got the colour profile, so I know where to locate it and then to actually set it. I'm gonna go back into the programme. Now. I'm gonna set mine up for both printers. But I could just show you for the first one. So I have the first one selected. I'm gonna right click and go to job or default job properties again, like we did in the previous video. So with that selected, I'm gonna click and, um, go to the third tab, which is our colour management. So just open there. I'm gonna click that, and then we're gonna have a few options here. Now what first thing we wanna do is we're gonna go on top here to no colour correction. We gonna set that to use colour correction. Now, if you only have the option, No colour correction. That means you don't have any profiles. Then to do that, we wanna go to output profile here, the second option and click add. Then what you gonna do is navigate to where you saved your file. To where? If it's on downloads, you just go there. Otherwise, um, I've navigated to the place where I put my IC C pro say open and then um, ok, currently, I already have one. So I me to override it in your case. Don't worry. You can just add it. It shouldn't ask you anything. Then we'll have this little exclamation mark warning signs here. You might have one in every single one of these, but as soon as you click apply, it should remove the first two and only leave the one on the colour mode. Now, the colour mode, we're gonna have to set up chokes and so forth. But we'll do that in another video so we can do some demonstrations of what's the difference between the choke and the lead? But yeah, otherwise, if we have, um, this one's saying, yeah, use colour correction. And we have our output file the same as the file. We download it, then we should be fine. We don't have to play with these, but if you want it and you could but just keep in mind, your results might vary a bit, But if you understand what you're doing, go ahead. So I'm gonna say ok and quickly do the same for the next printer. Right click default job. Go to colour management. And now it should be on our list already. So I'm gonna say use colour correction. It's already selected our profile say apply And OK. And there we go. Now both our printers has colour correction or IC C profile. And this will help make our final product look more accurate. But otherwise before we move on, if we head here to softwaretraining.co.za. co dot Z a you guys will notice we've got a variety of different Softwares we do cover and you can also isolate your search on the top, right?
