Hello
Purchased the c88+.
Struggling to get the pressing down.
When going to print what settings should the printer be set to ?
What type of paper should be choosen ?
When I go to the properties of the c88+ my only choices are
Plain Paper - Bright White Paper
Matte Paper - Heavyweight
Ultra premium glossy photo paper
Premium glossy photo paper
Premium semigloss photo paper
Photo glossy paper
envelope (THIS IS THE ONLY 0NE I AM SURE NOT TO CHOOSE :-)

What Quality Option should be choosen
Draft (no)
Text (guess if the transfer is words only ?)
Text & Image (a pic with words ?)
Photo (if its a photo pic ? )

What option would be best for clipart ?

Should any of these options be checked
PhotoEnhance
Reverse Order

Under Advance Options
Does it matter if HIgh Speed is checked ?
Edge smoothing ?

For color management which one
Color controls
Photo Enhance
ICM

What should gama be set at. Its currently 1.8 (optiions are 1.5 1.8 2.2 )
Not sure what gamma is even for.

Color Mode is set for Epson Vivid
other option is Adobe RGB

Thanks for your time and help. It's greatly appreciated.

Mark

This is all I use for any hot peel transfer. I may go up a notch for pictures on opaque transfer. I get pretty good results.

Set paper to heavy, text/image, vivid color, mirror.
This printer dumps tons of yellow ink everywhere.

In your color adjustments try, +5 cyan, + 10 magenta, -25 yellow.
Sometimes + 5 + 5 -15 might work as well.

You may need to run test prints on a scrap shirt with different color adjusments to
get it right. The yellow is hard to control. But the durabrite inks makes
beautiful prints.

Oh, I use spectrabrite paper.

Good luck.
