Issues with printing black.

[Wil]

I'm new to the world of sublimation printing and have a issue with printing black. In that it keeps coming out blue. I printed some lanyards last night and they came out brilliant black was very rich then I went on to print some mugs and it was a whole different ball game when it came to printing black. My printer is set to high quality and matte paper. I'm using

Press:- Heatpress 8in1 http://m.alibaba.com/product/6002416351 ... directed=yPrinter:- Epson xp-322 with CISS fitted.
Ink:- Inktec sublinova smart
Paper:- subright 105gsm premium quality paper

what could be the possible solutions?

Thanks in advance

Do you have a specific icc profile?

[Wil]

No, I'v literally just started up. My first port of call was signing up here. I'm using GIMP to edit and create images as I'm trying to keep costs down to a minimum. Where would I be able to get one from. I did look on the Inktec website but I couldn't find a profile for my printer.

You'll need to get a custom icc profile made. You can contact Paul on the forum (same username) for this.

[Wil]

Yeah. Thanks Justin I'll message him now. ��

I'm not sure GIMP can use printer ICC profiles though.

last time I checked it was terrible use of icc and all the rest of the settings needed to print with icc.
