Hello everyone.. I need some help if some could please.. i am pulling my hair out.. i bought this epson 1400 with sublimation ink in it.. i am not sure of what brand of ink, neither is the person i bought it from, but i can not get the right colors to print.. I use corel 11 to print my sub stuff with.. i use sublimation paper from photomugs and i use the correct time and temp on my substates.. my lighter blacks are bluish, my reds are pinky purple, my forest green is aqua color and.... on and on.. i played with printer settings, but still can not figure it out.. Oh and i print in RGB sooo..

any help would be apprecited..

Does anyone make custom color profiles i guess is the question to ask..and what info one may need to do it.
thanks
jess

Assuming the inks are ArTainium UV+ or Sublijet inks, an expensive custom profile is not necessary. Also, assuming the person you bought the system from was able to print correctly, they would have been using a profile. It should still be on their computer.

In the case of ArTainium inks, it is called an "ICC Profile". Sublijet inks use a color management system called "Power Driver". All that would be necessary is to get it into your color folder and then configure your system with the profile.

You can get the configuration instructions from our site by clicking on "DyeSub Tips" in our signature, then clicking the big "Return" button at the top left of the screen. Look along the top of the live screen and you will see "ICC Setup".

You are also welcome to PM me, for more help.

We don't deal with Sublijet inks, but perhaps one of their suppliers can help you in that area.

Thank you for the reply and information.. i did do all of that.. my greys and purples are still a blueish
when i get back to my shop i will upload what the color profile is suppose to look like then i will scan and upload what i get from it being printed. so that someone may know what i need to do..
the people i bought the printer with inks from could not get it to print correctly so i bought it from them in hopes i could get it to.
i would hate to have to waste all the ink that came with it so i am trying to figure out how to get the correct colors from it..
thanks again
