Help needed Power Driver IQ settings I'm printing on to sublimation paper and then on to polyester.
I'm using the epson 4880 dual from Sawgrass My problem is: The yellow's are printing as lime and the reds are orange.
Does anyone know the best settings for the driver to get rid of the green in the yellow and the yellow in the red. I did have my work ( same artwork) working fine with all the yellows being perfect and then had an accident with the PC and lost my settings. Can't for the life of me figure out how I had it working the first time.
Help!! Sawgrass seem to be too busy to get back to me and I'm in a big hurry.

Re: Help needed Power Driver IQ settings If you are printing using the Powerdriver, you only need to turn your color correction off in your graphics program. Very easy to set up and use.

Re: Help needed Power Driver IQ settings Hi Kevin,
I'm actually printing from a pdf file which I create on a mac in illustrator, in which I have turned the color management off. I save the file to pdf and then move it via the network to the pc.

Re: Help needed Power Driver IQ settings Powerdriver is not Mac compatible. You need to print with a PC to use Powerdriver.

Re: Help needed Power Driver IQ settings Are you designing with CMYK or RGB colors? You should use RGB, as CMYK will not give you correct colors when printing with sublimation.
