    Hi and thank you for your informative video , I am considering buying a starter bundle from you but before I do I noticed on your website that we need to use different ICC profiling for every different materials we sublimate which put me off a bit. Can we not use the standard ICC profile which comes with the bundle for sublimating on wood,steel,aluminium etc,,? Thanks

    hello. I have epson l382 and Have been using the cityink sublimation for it. its been working great, however i recently realised that the printer started to print darker with the same settings and icc profile. a pastel pink would be of a darker pink colour and lines would be bolder and darker. is there a way to fix it? i have used an older print and a newer print to sublimate on mugs on the same session and the new prints looks a lot darker.

    Some ink suppliers provide an ICC profile, whereas others don't. If you don't receive an ICC profile for your inks, you can order a custom profile instead. The process for custom profiles involves printing a test chart, and mailing it to the profiling company. They then make your ICC profile, and email it back to you along with instructions for installing and applying the new profile.

    I'd recommend first checking that all colours print properly on a nozzle check. Then, if everything else is working properly, it might be that you need an ICC profile. At the moment, though, the priority is making sure the nozzles aren't blocked or misfiring.

    Hi there, I purchased an EPSON L120 sublimation printer and I am in desperate need of assistance. I am using a MacBook Air. My black ink is printing brown and I have tried many options: I have done the following: - Uninstalled the driver and re-installed it - I have downloaded ICC profiles and used those and option - I have done the changes as per your video - I have tried MS word, Affinity, Photoshop and the outcome is the same. The black is printing brown and I have tried the following as well: - Printed from another windows PC - same result - Pressed from another press - same result - Asked someone to print for me - same result. How and what do you recommend I do? I am seriously desperate. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Martine, it sounds like you're getting a little frustrated with this! For the ICC profile you're using, has this been sent to you by your ink supplier? The ink you're using will affect the profile you need, so it's important you either use a custom profile, or one which has been set up specifically for your printer, ink, and paper combination.Blacks turning brown is often due to burning the ink, either by pressing at too high a temperature, or for too long. What settings are you using on your press?If your press settings are definitely correct, I'd recommend a custom profile first. We sell these at www.dyesub.co.uk but there may also be a provider in your own country who can help you out.

    cityinkexpress cityinkexpress Hi there, thanks so much for your reply! I am terribly frustrated. When pressing the mug I am using 180C for 220 seconds. What should it be? I am using the ICC profile from the internet. My supplier tells me it’s not the ink even though I have told them it is possible.

  • @cityinkexpress-online

    @cityinkexpress-online

    6 жыл бұрын

    I'd try reducing the mug press time from 220 seconds to about 150-180, to see if it helps. If the profile you're using isn't specific to your ink, then it will produce some incorrect colours unfortunately. I think it's unlikely that there's an issue with the ink, but obviously I can't rule this out completely from here.

    If your ink supplier doesn't have any suitable profiles for you, it would need to be a custom profile. These usually involve printing off some colour charts and posting them to a profiling company. They then make the profile for you, and email it to you.
