I seem to get blacks that are a bit grey. I think you have to adjust the trapping within your software to make the colours overprint, otherwise all the colours will knockout except the black. I think that's probably my problem. Luckily most of what I print is blue which comes out lovely!!

<t>I'm quite new to mug printing and this is my first Christmas. I had a box of BMS mugs and didn't realise how few I had left. Went to order some more but they weren't shipping until 9th December, and this was about the first, so I had to find an alternative. I bought 2 boxes from 2 different ...

<r>Sorry, but I don't really understand what you are saying. The ink I have bought is made for sublimation in the Ricoh printer. I read the Ebay feedback and emailed several people who had bought it, they all said they were getting the same results that they had previously with Sawgrass ink but for ...

<t>But I am using the right ink, just not the Sawgrass one. As I said, I researched it at length, and everyone who uses the Chinese ink says how good it is and is comparable to Sawgrass and using the same ICC profile. I have printed photographs on it, and they are spot on. My blues for the text are ...

<t>I think I now have Photoshop and print menus set up correctly as my last print looks much more accurate in terms of colour. Haven't pressed a mug with it yet, but I think it's gonna be fine. Paul, what do you mean that it won't work very well whatever you put in it? Are you saying that these ...
