I don\t mind to print anything for you. but I'm surprised you "can't believe that" Paul

Why should I make it up?? I'm not having profits from selling their ink

Maybe I've been lucky...I don't know, but what I said is true. Always using cheapest ink and paper with great results and happy customers. But most important is that I'm very happy with quality and can't imagine anything better as mugs looks perfect

you get me wrong Kris

I never said you made it up my friend

al I said is I cant believe that you can print this same quality as you can see on the screen without using a profile. first because colour gamut of sublimation is much smaller then srgb. second, you need to have your printer calibrated for your screen. if you dont have calibrated screen there is no chance you can print this same colours as on on your monitor.

I must be lucky then

well... print out itself looks much darker ect. but when transfered onto mug, looks great. If you want, please email me your template at:
shop@4fansdesign.co.uk with your address ect. and we'll test it together

if you want someone to test it on a B1100 with no ICC profile and these inks - or if you want to send the profile I'll test both I'll happily join in the fun.

I don't see how they can sell ink at that cost officially. All the time and money Sawgrass have spent defending their patent just to then let a company carry on as normal with their blessing. Doesn't make sense to me. There do seem to be more companies and users carrying on with non official sublimation inks these days and quite openly. Is this the end of Sawgrass fighting their corner?
