Hi All

I have a Ricoh SG3110DN and Adobe CS3 I have created an image with an RAF Blue, when I try to print it out using Adobe & going through Power driver it keeps printing the image a darker blue.

I have tried the following settings; Printer manages colours, Rendering intent (Perceptual) and Photoshop manages colours, Rendering intent (perceptual) both methods produce a darker blue.

More frustrating is that I also in one attempt sent the image to another normal printer (not sublimation) and low & behold it printed it the exact colour that I wanted!!!!! aaghhh

Anyone help & tell me where I might be going wrong please before I lose the will to live!!

have you pressed it on an item yet? it often comes out darker, then when pressed comes out the right colour.

sublimation ink is heat sensitive. press it then judge it.

It will look different on the paper....once pressed it should come out as you wanted it.......good luck.

Thanks for all replies, yes you were correct, looks much more like the colour when printed.

Thanks

You can get a spot colour palette from sawgrass which is a great help for colour matching when working with photoshop
