This could be a day of "S22 problems" :)

The issue is probably caused by a lack of ICC profile. Did your supplier provide you with this?

when you 1st print the image it does look dull on the paper
for test purposes only print very small images that way you can re-use the same mug over and over to save on wastage

Paul will hopefully be along soon to advice on profiles etc he's the man for this :)

Are you using the inks you got with the printer ?

There's your answer then - you need a profile to use the sublimation ink.

Unless this slipped past Sawgrass's eagle eyes then this may be genuine inks - have you asked the seller for an ICC profile? Does the ink have a brand name?
