My 14 year old son has purchased a 3d vacuum heat press and a espon printer to make phone cases.He is able to get a decent transfer but the image has a hazy look to it.Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

We don't have any info. Which ink ? Does he use an ICC profile ? What time and temp ? etc.

My apologies.Thanks for the reply.He is using Anti-Uv Sublimation ink,Dyemaster paper,and a ST3042 3D heat press.190 degrees for 6 minutes.He is struggling with the ICC profile.His printer is a Epson C88+.Photoshop is the image software.

He should contact his ink supplier for an ICC profile for the inks and printer he is using. Without a profile he will struggle to make a good print.

The profile must loaded into Photoshops print management settings.
