Re: Red is orange after press

Post by Maartje »

Hello,
So I will try to explain as best as I can, I am from the Netherlands and my technical English is not that perfect.
I have made a design in Photoshop and printed it with my Ricoh 3110DN. The print looks perfect. But when I press it on the fabric it does not come out as red as it is supposed to, but it comes out orange.
I printed something a few weeks ago and the skincolour also did not look right, it was too yellow.
I pressed for 1.30 minutes with a temperature of 188 degrees Celsius.
I have the settings and stuff like that as was instructed. So what can I change to have the proper colours on my fabrics?
Hopefully a sollution that is not too technical ;)
Thanks,
Maartje

This is how it looks on the fabric:

A sublimation print should not look perfect. The print itself should look washed-out and colours will be way off what you expect, but when pressed it will look great.

I suspect you are not using an ICC profile, or not using it correctly, when printing your transfers.

Is this the ICC profile? I chose the settings of the Sublijet print setup guide ...

Hi, For Printer try selecting "Power Driver", I'm assuming that you have Power Driver from Sawgrass installed?

'printer beheert kleuren translate' ............... does that mean 'printer manages colours?'

In Photoshop, it should be 'Photoshop manages colours.'

Yes that means that the printer manages the colours. I will change it and try again!
In the Sawgrass instructions it says that the printer has to manage the colours ...
