When I print my design, it looks ok,however on pressing my blue comes out as purple? Hope you can help!

What printer are you using?
What ink you using?
What transfer paper are you using?
What are you pressing it to?
What ICC are you using?
What monitor are you using, and is it calibrated?
Can you post a picture?

It is a Ricoh 3110, Was supplied with chinese ink, Paper from Subright, Pressed on a Lanyard, Using sawgrass ICC, Calibrate?

Many thanks

It is never going to work if you're using the ICC for Sawgrass ink, when you aren't using their ink. Get in touch with Paul on here to get an ICC made for your ink.

Or stop buying cheap maybe not good quality chinese ink and buy proper Sawgrass ink instead. Then I guarantee you will see a difference!

We don't know anything about the cost or quality of the ink being used, all we know is that it is from China, and doesn't have an ICC profile. There are good quality inks made in China and, even the best quality and most expensive ink in the world is not going to print the correct colours without the correct ICC profile. I decided not to jump to conclusions and offer a low cost solution which has potential to sort out the problem that the user is having.

£25 spent to get a bespoke ICC profile to get the correct colours is going to be a lot less investment than a whole new set of expensive Sawgrass inks.

I used to use inks from China, and by golly am I glad I moved over to Sawgrass, better quality, in fact better alround!

We used to use Sawgrass' consumer inks like most, and haven't looked back since we dumped them and got some commercial/industrial inks instead (although from South Korea, not China) - we got stronger, more consistent colours, and less ink flow problems, and saved a fortune.
We also bought in our own ICC profiling kit to make sure we get the best colours we can.

Thanks for not jumping to conclusions. The printer came supplied with a full set of imported ink. I did not want to throw them out, life is expensive enough! All I can say " Paul, where are you?"

Well, I get the opposite, and I use sawgrass inks, I find that purples come out more of an indigo blue, but that is a gamut issue I am pretty sure. Use the 'match print colours' checkbox if you are printing from Pshop and the preview will give you a closer idea of what your final item might look like. Or set the 'proof colours' in the view menu to your icc profile as a way of soft proofing.
