Hi guys as you know I am a newbie to all this....I bought some SRN sublimation paper online from srnhorizon.com, the colour images we are getting on the mugs are not very vibrant and quite faded, after looking around the site I have just purchased some TRUPIX paper from BMS to see if this makes a difference...but more investigating is leading me to believe it could be the ICC profile on the printer, could anyone help out with a profile or help me with the settings plz i'm using CS5 to print.
Any help would be great

Best ink is are from sawgrass seems funny how he filled it while you were there are you using a cis system .
Have a look on this site

Epson printers are renowned for blocking.
When you are printing onto the paper are you printing on to the white side or dull side of paper

You'll need to find out what ink you've had put in your cartridges - I'm presuming it is sublimation ink isn't it?

there is no point of doing custom icc for this any way as you only have about 10ml of ink in your carts. soon as first one will run out you need to refill it yourself so colors wont match. custom icc is only worth when you use same ink all the time.
