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

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 :(

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

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.
