An ICC Color Profile is a standardized set of data that characterizes a color output of different devices, either display or print. What does that mean for you? Basically, the ICC Color Profile tells either your display or printer to show colors in certain ways.
Finding the right ICC Color Profile for your purposes is dependent on what you need from your color profile. If you are adjusting the color gamut of your computer monitor or TV, I'd recommend checking with the manufacturer for specific color profiles for their devices. Note that this guide mainly applies for Installing & Using your ICC Color Profile in Print. You can read about how to install your ICC Profile for displays here!
If you are working with sublimation, you can click here to explore the ICC Color Profiles we have for download. We've collected color profiles from the major Sublimation Ink suppliers, so hopefully your profile is listed. If not, let us know and we can try and grab that profile for you!
Note that a manufacturer provided color profile will never be perfect! Colors can be very complicated, and if exact colors are needed, it is recommended to build a custom color profile for your ink, substrate, and printer!
