EPSON WORKFORCE WF 7110 printer + INK

[Mathew]

Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting vibrant colours with my mugs,

i think I've narrowed it down to paper and the inks.

I'm buying some different sublimation printer paper this week. (Recommended by martin from Mug Squad)

and thinking of changing the inks, what inks would i need for them to use in the EPSON WORKFORCE WF 7110
I'm using refillable cartridges.

an example attached of the results I've been getting.

Hi Pete,
i got recommended the inks of the person that sold me the current paper i am using, newbie error, i bought them off Ebay.

the paper MugSquad said to try would be this one.

just to clarify, mug squad recommended me to change to the one in the link and not the current one i'm using if that makes sense.

True Pix i find is the best

The Workforce 7110 can be a real pain with colour profiles. They don't seem to be standardised at all.

I've had three 7110's for sublimation. The first printed great with good colours straight out the box. The next one had a real magenta tint to it out the box. I thought the yellow ink head was blocked but it seemed ok on nozzle checks. Ended up having to push the yellow enhancer up on the colour slider to get enough yellow going through to make the colour good.

The latest one I'm using I had to push up the blue tint on the colour slider to get good reproduction of colours.

You might want to try playing with the print manager under the advanced settings in colour.

Might be worth you putting up an image of the artwork to see the difference. Looks more a profile issue but hard to tell without the original of what it should look like.
