Profiles
Fastjet ICC
Fastjet ICC on ColourRight covers profile use on FastJET printers in South African production shops. The page is aimed at getting colour into line on the media you run, with notes that help when cartridges, humidity, dust, and power interruptions affect output.
FastJET profile checks on media
ICC profiles for FastJET machines depend on the print conditions around them. Media selection, RIP setup, ink limits, and cartridge-related observations can change colour from one run to the next.
Start by naming the substrate, resolution, pass count, and heater settings used on the FastJET. Johannesburg dust, Durban moisture, Cape Town winter air, and load-shedding all shift how a profile behaves, so those site conditions need to be noted with the test prints.
A clear photo of the machine, heads, and current media path helps identify the setup before profile work starts. ColourRight pairs that with a short operating note that can stay at the printer for staff checking cartridges, feed direction, and the chosen preset.
What Fastjet ICC covers
Narrow the machine setup to one workable profile route for a given stock. The useful output is a record of the settings, a check list for verification, and a plain reference to the machine or cartridge combination being used.
Link Fastjet ICC with the relevant Profiles, Presses, and Swatches references before expanding the test range. Before a Durban shipment leaves with the courier, review the final print against the saved setup note. ICC work starts from a test print on your usual roll, together with the RIP version you run.

Conditions affecting FastJET colour
Production realities matter when profiling. OR Tambo dispatch pressure, Sunnyrock warehousing, Crown Mines output schedules, and smaller mall print counters each place different demands on when a profile test can be run and how much media can be spared for charts.
Coastal shops often need closer attention to drying and cleaning intervals, while inland sites usually contend with heavier dust around sensors and carriage areas. After a power cut, the first accepted print should be marked and kept, because restart behaviour can differ from the run before shutdown.

FastJET setup details to send
Send Fastjet ICC notes with photos of the printer, the media loaded, and the result that failed or shifted. Add the cartridge type, RIP settings, and the city where the machine is running so the conditions are clear.
Keep the calibration record with the test sheets and RIP settings while the FastJET result is still visible. When a buyer asks why one vinyl run matched and another drifted, that note gives the ink set, pass mode, media, and reference page in one place.
