Hi im new to it all, I have just setup after a friend give me all his equipment due to him emigrating,
i printed a rugby logo to put on a sublimation mouse mat, everything printed ok on sub paper, but when i heat pressed it onto a blank sub mat, the colours have come out different, eg, the yellow/gold is more like a pink, the black and red look ok could do with being brighter, what am i doing wrong
Regards chris

You need an ICC profile on your computer to manage the colours when printing. What software do you print from?

You'll need to know what inks are in the system if you don't want to change inks/get another profile created when they run out.
