Ok hers goes. I was looking to get into sublimation mugs as a hobby so for a month or so I been reading these forms. Search the web for deals to get all that I need for a good price. I think I did good. Printer(newegg)79.00. ArTainium UV+ ink 9 bottles (E-Bay) 300.00. Truepix paper 100ct(E-Bay) 14.00. Mugs 36ct.(laserpoint)45.00. Mug wrap(E-Bay)18.00. Toaster oven I had. ICC Profile(E-Bay) 15.00. Refill cart (E-BAY)18.00. Here's my problem. Got the ICC Profile as a download. Winzip file. un zip it to my docs. Read the instructions did as it said. But, it does not tell me where the file goes. Shurly it does not sit in a folder named icc in my Docs. Where do I put it? This is an ArTainium ICC Profile for a 88c

This is not working as I hoped. Its not a what I see is what I get program. I also don't see any fine tuning. Blue sky is dark.Trees with snow on them had red in it and the pic I see is white.Am I doing something wrong here?

Laserpoint mugs? Are these coated for ink jet dye sub ?
Is your ICC profile an Artainium profile for your model printer?
What program are you printing from?

Don't forget to use a sheet of blowout paper between your transfer and mug wrap.
Cook 15 minutes at 400* in convection oven... add 30 secs +/- for each additional mug.

Yes these are coated mugs for sub. got them at Blank Imprintables, Dye-Sub Inks, Dye Sublimation Experts | Laser Reproductions, Inc. Artainium UV+ C88_RGBv2.icm is the name of the file. Epson c88+ is the printer. Hanes sublimamtion maker is the program am useing.

here is a link showing (2 pages) how to set up the icc profile for your printer.

After setup, when you are going to print, don't forget to select the artanium uv profile in your
printer properties so everything will print right.

Sounds like you are either, not invoking the icc profile in the driver or are invoking two along the workflow.
What programme are you using?

Thanks guys I got it right now. Quite the trip though. Had to set the screen to adobe1998rgb then set the program to epson 88+ printer. That was the trouble. I thought I gust had to set it to the printer. But in the Hanes sub maker theres 2 settings But all is well and thanks again
