Interesting Result printing Sub printing to Tshirt

[AlanD]

I thought I'd try sub printing to a tshirt. Customer sent me a black and white photo albeit in RGB, I printed this on my Ricoh using the power driver, the result had a very pink cast to the print and although I tried converting to greyscale, LAB and CMYK the print on paper remained the same. I thought I'd take a chance and press on the shirt anyway and to my surprise the result was very good, no pink cast and pretty much as displayed on screen. I appreciate that the finished sublimation results are always very different from the paper print before pressing but was surpised (pleasantly) how different they were in this instance.

Do you have any photos?

I think you can see what I mean regarding colour difference. Shirt was a Stedman Active Sports T from Absolute Apparel, Trupix paper, Ricoh printer using Power Driver with 'Performance Apparel' selected under substrate setting. I am assuming that changing the substrate setting alters the profile and ink settings automatically - seems to work ok anyway.

That's a bit of a difference! Glad that turned out ok.
