Hi Martin,
No it's not Sawgrass ink, I sort of thought that as I would waste alot in getting going and perfecting the process that I would waste the cheaper ink first then move onto the proper stuff when I was a competent mug printer. I feel it could be the cartridges.

Hi Martin,

No I don't have Sawgrass ink as I figured that as I was sure to waste a load of mugs and ink whilst getting to grips with mug printing, I would waste the cheaper stuff. I think it could be a problem with the cartridges (gut feeling). Once I have perfected my printing I will switch to the real stuff.

Don't know why but all of a sudden it is printing. I asked it to print a load of solid blocks and away it went......Don't feel so blonde anymore!
Thanks for all the help. No doubt I will be back.

You can't perfect your printing if your using cheap inks

Too true.but I can perfect the getting it onto paper and mug ... straight.. and getting the templates the right size etc. I will get the real stuff soon as I know it is heaps better, just got to watch the pennies to start with so I can experiment away.
Can't wait to get going now.

Thanks for the tips on the profile pic, and what inks and profiles do you suggest if it's not Sawgrass?

First port of call will be your supplier of the inks. If that doesn't work then you may have to get a custom profile made if the colours are off.
