i press at 180* for 3 minutes try this

this sound more descent. when there is no enough time or heat black wont be black. it will be grrenish, red or grey....

Thank you all for your replies but my problem persists. Some more information.
I use a Ricoh 7000 printer. Afew weeks ago I was give an old black and white postcard which I scanned and put on to a placemat . It transferred perfect with a crisp black and white image. During the week he asked for 2 more. When I repeated the exercise I am now getting a sepia effect without changing anything( to my knowledge). I have reset the default settings on the printer but no difference.
How do you insert an image and I will sent the 2 different placemats?
Regards,
James

At the bottom of the post message box, there are 2 tabs, "options" and "upload attachment" click on the attachment one and follow the instructions

Attached 2 placemats.
1 was OK black and white
2 has this sepia effect which I do not want.
Regards,
James

Sorry got my numbering wrong. 1 should be 2 and 2 should be 1.

did you change any thing? did you tryed print diferent b&w on diferent blank?
and is the sepia one print quality as good as b&w? if not. it may be some colours not printing so you neeed to print nozzle check.
but if the quality of prints are identical then I am sure you changed somethin by mistake.
can you print any b&w foto (diferent one then on place mat) on piece of old t-shirt or mug for us?

[joconnell]

I have printed some car sunscreens and the text in black is brown and other colours are not right. My setup on my printer seems to be not right even though I have not changed anything on purpose.

well... have you done any system restore recently?
any way... I think you need instal your ICC profile again. do everything from scratch as when you bought your printer. I am sure it will help.

[joconnell]

I print in Coral and this is my colour management profile.

Why are you changing things in Corel? You should have PowerDriver installed to print with the GX7000. You should select this as your printer (the PowerDriver Printer for the GX7000), not the GX7000 printer itself.

[joconnell]

Where will I find the PowerDriver Printer . At the moment I select Ricoh 7000 as my printer and print using Corel or I could print direct from PhotoShop. My problem at the moment( I think) is CMYK and RGB format as my blacks are appearing as brown.
