Colour Matching Problems 2d mobile cover sublimation

[Manish]

We have started Mobile cover sublimation.

The cover has an Aluminium insert which has to be sublimated.

After sublimation their is a lot of color difference.

The ink is of Inktec, i have contacted inktec but they have not replied so far. Inktec is offering following ICC profile on their site

Am not sure which one to use here, I don't have any icc profile so far for the inks and printer iin use. we are new to business and don't know much

Printer is of Epson L800 (Desktop Pinter)

Paper is of Fantac (a chinese company)

Heat press is locally bought

hi there,
you need proper sublimation paper.
proper icc profile
and make sure you taking clear film of the insert.
those three steps will get you perfect case

pm me and i will try to help you.

InkTec ink is supposed to be used in large format printers, as such this doesn't mean that it isn't also going to work really well in a small printer, but does mean you can't get an appropriate ICC profile from them.
You need an ICC profile making to make the colours work properly - either by buying an ICC profiling system or finding someone who already has who can do this for you.
You need to use sublimation transfer paper, using standard printer paper will not work properly.

Thanks Paul, Thanks Pisquee

I've managed to arrange the L800 Colour Profile. I hope this would work.

When i use it on selecting the profile in the printing command, the image color changes to that which is expected to be obtained.

Now, how would i convert all my images (Phone cover Product Images) to that which would actually be obtained.

As their are hundreds of images.
