Mimaki JFX 200 - LUS 150 : I need someones coro profile for ONYX. Speed is too slow. I need a faster Profile

So I recently got this Mimaki JFX 200. Prints great, I have it with Onyx now just like all my other printers. However the profiles you can get from Onyx are limited, I get like one mode for every substrate.
It takes about 14-15 Minutes for a full sheet, I have seen people with 8-10 minute ranges on a faster mode. I know I can create one from scratch and use a spectrophotometer to calibrate it but I am trying to avoid doing that since it will take a whole day. And I also need a Spectrophotometer...
Can someone with a Corrugated Plastic & or Foamboard profile share that with me?
It would be greatly appreciated

Is it a JFX200 (old 2 head) or JFX200 EX (3 head newer model)? Not sure about Onyx, but just the basic RasterLink profile at draft speed will knock out a bed in around 7-8 minutes on the EX. 12-ish for the older JFX200 base model. If you're looking for something to tear through coroplast in bulk, the JFX200 is the wrong printer. Need some kind of monster 8-head+ machine if going after volume.

No it is a 2 Head, JFX200. I know the rasterlink might have one but I am trying to find an ONYX profile for Onyx since Onyx seems to be much better than that Joke of Rasterlink. And no I am not looking for something to tear through it in bulk, Just at a speed like you mentioned, 7-9 Minutes would be perfect. Right now I'm at like 14 minutes a sheet.

Also as a side note, I do have an 8 head monster, It's a HP Scitex FB 500

Mimaki support on third party RIPs is pretty limited, but if you can set one up in Onyx at draft DPI of 300X450 DPI 6-Pass, about the highest speed you can get. If running dual CMYK, you can, in theory get 7.6 full bed prints done in an hour. Half that if using white, clear or light colors as well as CMYK and the speed you're getting now is about the cap.
