If you're using a Ricoh I'd say it was too much heat and/or time. What settings are you using?

ha - wished i was justin - brother 5910dw :rolleyes:
temp -180 -time - 180 - presure -heavy
tried temp-175 - time - 175 - med pressure - still same
blacks come out fine on my mugs -so inks are ok
the first setting has worked fine for all other colours - bar tonight with the black
edit -
doing a colour chart test on one of my mugs - to see if it is the ink, or printer needs re-profiling again.

wait till you see the mug i just done....think i really need another profile -YIKES! - my ink is getting on for around the 8mth mark and if i remember right, JSR said he had to get his redone as the composition of the inks change with age
