Stormjet ICC specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Stormjet ICC.
Stormjet profile data that matters
These Stormjet ICC specs show what information is needed for a proper profile decision. Send the Stormjet model, ink set, media type and current operating condition so the output target suits the machine you are running.
For a usable Stormjet ICC, start with the exact machine model, ink chemistry, media surface and RIP settings in use. Solvent and eco-solvent setups react differently on SAV, banner PVC, coated paper and polyester film, so the spec sheet must reflect the stock that is actually loaded. Inland dust, coastal moisture and power interruptions can all shift nozzle behaviour and drying before a target is measured.
Include a clear photo of the control panel, carriage area and current print sample when sending Stormjet details. That record helps tie the spec to pass count, heater values, resolution and any visible banding or overspray. One image of the cartridge bay is also useful where mixed batch numbers or non-standard refill practice may be affecting colour stability.
What to send for Stormjet profiling
The best brief lists the media name, width, white point, intended viewing distance and whether the job is for indoor display or outdoor use. Add the ink set, current profile name and the target mode being run, such as 720 x 1440 or 4 pass production. A short note on whether the machine has just had a head clean, damper change or encoder strip clean can explain sudden colour drift.
Before you expand testing, compare the Stormjet spec against any matching press note and recent swatch output. Check that heaters, vacuum, bi-directional alignment and feed compensation were not changed after the last acceptable print. ICC work starts from a test print on your usual roll, together with the RIP version you run.

Stormjet conditions across South Africa
Johannesburg winter dryness can change static behaviour on film and light synthetic stock, while Durban humidity can slow solvent flash-off on dense ink builds. A Stormjet running in Crown Mines, Bellville or a smaller regional shop may need different cleaning intervals even on the same media. Record where the printer is operating if the target from last month no longer reflects today's output.
After load-shedding or generator changeover, print a fresh nozzle test before relying on older calibration figures. Dust around sensors, feed rollers and platen edges often shows up first as inconsistent laydown rather than obvious faults. Where overnight temperatures drop, note the first stable print after warm-up instead of judging colour from the opening sheet.

Stormjet briefing details to include
Send the Stormjet model, RIP name, ink configuration and the exact media being profiled. Mention any failed target, excessive drying time, mottling, grain or density loss seen on recent jobs.
Keep the measurement sheet with the print mode record and maintenance note used that day. When a client asks for repeat colour on the same stock, those figures make it easier to match the earlier condition rather than guessing from memory.
