Epson wf-7110 - yellow cast after pressing

[raydavies]

I am using JetPro Soft Style transfer paper and am having a problem with a yellow cast appearing on the garment when pressed. The "Peel off paper" is also turning yellow. I have tried temperature variations with no success.

The paper looks perfect after printing and the yellow only appears after pressing. I have read that this is a problem with Epson pigment inks and their clones. Has anyone here experienced this problem? I don't think it can be a profile problem, but what do I know!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

did you ever resolve this issue? I have a similar problem.

I'm led to believe that this is normal when using pigment inks and that a yellow cast is left on the paper, I do get a slight yellowing of the garment but it is very very slight, others may have other advice but that is what I have experienced.

Shortly after posting that question my Epson printer's heads blocked up for the umpteenth time and so I dumped it and vowed to never buy another.

I've since used Canon printers with dye inks without all the blockages and, despite what many say, no fading problems.

I hope you get it sorted.

use perceptual intent and not absolute colorimetric

Is this for real? I have no idea what your saying LOL!

Icc profiles are designed with 4 rendering intents. These are how they handle out of gamut colours. Most of the time perceptual is the i tent to be used as it keeps the relationship between the colours and avoids flat spots. However it also changes colours that are IN GAMUT to varying amounts depending on how many and how far out of gamut the out of gamut colours are . Some people use absolute but this will give a paper tint .

Trust me, clogging heads can become a huge time and money wasting problem! Every time you press that button more of your ink gets wasted so when that happens several times a day you can turn into a gibbering wreck.

Some people use Epsons with no problems but an awful lot find them a nightmare.

I'm glad what you took to be my stupidity gave you some amusement - do let me know if you get to suffer persistently clogging heads so we can "lol" together!

You obviously have no idea of ANY of the sublimation process and would do well to gratefully accept the advice of those who do, or at least try to hide your ignorance.

Raydavies has asked a sensible question and mags has provided expert advice. What have you, Alex S, added to this discussion?
