First Mugs - Is it me or is there a sight blue tint??

[doldham]

Hi All,

Here are some images of the first mugs I've printed. Don't know if people would agree, but I think that there is a definate blue tint to the images....

I am using epson P50 and mug press bought from Coralgraph. Pressed for 180 degrees for 180 seconds (after the mug swap and heat drop stabilising)

Tried using an ICC profile (that I received from Coralgraph) with Qimage, but windows said invalid ICC profile, and qimage does not recognise it.

any advice, criticism - hopefully constructive etc much appreciated.

I would tigt the press slightly as it looks bit soft. it may be preasure related. please send me this icc to sales(a t)frames4photoshop.info I will have a look for you. if you have slight blue cast but colours are quite right then this may be printer related. I would download photoshop or photoshop elements trial version to try. without this you wont go to far i am affraid

Do you have other software you could test print from? Coraldraw, Photoshop etc?

thanks guys, will try from my wife's elements and see if it's better. Will let you know....

But pointless trying without having a profile

What make ink is it? Didn't know Coralgraph sold subli ink.

I think it would be better for all of us to not discust 3rd patry ink suppliers on main board guys.

Thanks Paul, Yup think that I might have to call on your services. Is your offer still on for paid up member

I use Qimage all the time with my own home-made ICC profiles. If I can help at all, perhaps by trying your profile with my copy of Qimage, let me know. I don't have a P50, so I can't actually print anything but I can see if Qimage will recognise the profile or something if it would help.
