EPSON B1100 sublimation

[ben336]

Hi to evryone,

I need help.
I have epson B1100 and sublimation ink.
At printing test chart or spot colors in color mode i get grey's like brown!
When i try to print out in Black&Wihte mode it is OK.

Please any idea?

I have tryed with many profiles an without any prifile but allways same result with minor changes!
I made custom icc but still get brown instead of grey!

did u actualy pressed any of them on some blank?

[ben336]

Yes,

I am telling you an end result on white poliester textil.

When you say you have tried with many profiles..... did you try with the correct one for your sublimation ink or just various different ones that you could find?. Was it Sawgrass software?

[ben336]

I tried sawgrass, custom made, and ant i find.

I have made my own but still the same problem.
I print the test chart with 225 patches and gray on 4 sheet, press it on white poliester and read with SpyderStudio SR, but always same thing.

Now in find the most accurate when printig with original settings (Color controls, EPSON Vivid)

[Andrew]

I don't know the set-up of the inks on this printer but would suggest that a Sawgrass profile is the way to go. What ink are you using?

[ben336]

Not sure, there are no name.
But i get other colors OK.

I'm printig it direct from corel X4.

I make spot colors in corel from 10% to 100% black. the result was brown instead of grey.

Print out with ICM off and color corection in color management!

Now i swich off all color corection in corel and set color control epson vivid in printer setting and is almost fine.

Note when i print out in Black&White mode is fine!

You don't know the make of ink? Each make generally requires a purpose built profile. Is it a second hand piece of kit you just bought?

[ben336]

No, i bought from company who distribute inks in Slowenia.

I was hoping that i could make profile.

I notice that in print preview see already brawn instead of grey!

[Paul]

u right. u can create profile but i t hhink your problem is in wrong setup. did u swiched off profiling in printer? any chance to see screen shot of your printing settings? we will do it together lol
