blacks going brown - to much heat ? or to much time ? - to much pressure ? or a crap pic ?

If you're using a Ricoh I'd say it was too much heat and/or time. What settings are you using?

[bigj2552]

ha - wished i was justin - brother 5910dw :rolleyes:

temp -180 -time - 180 - presure -heavy

tried temp-175 - time - 175 - med pressure - still same
blacks come out fine on my mugs -so inks are ok

the first setting has worked fine for all other colours - bar tonight with the black

edit -

doing a colour chart test on one of my mugs - to see if it is the ink, or printer needs re-profiling again.

had a 10oz in mug press - went to loosen mug press for the 15oz mug - dam thing fell apart :rolleyes:.
now need to wait till it cools before i can sort it -

[Justin]

What press you using?

[bigj2552]

DF1 Press justin - just needs re tightened - just need to let it cool.....been here before and forgot it was that hot - OUCH !

[bigj2552]

right sorted - have down 3 rows of square, 6 across
first row - RGB
second row - CMYK
third row - PATONE

just to see what the colour difference is....

why patone ? i,m sure i down something with this and it came out better than expected !

bigJ! your image is brown not to much but i can clearly enough see that is lot of brown in it!

[bigj2552]

wait till you see the mug i just done....think i really need another profile -YIKES! - my ink is getting on for around the 8mth mark and if i remember right, JSR said he had to get his redone as the composition of the inks change with age

uploading to photo bucket now..hold on guys
