Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc. looks grey on paper but after pressing its green?

looks grey on paper but after pressing its green?
Im using coastal everlast inkjet transfer paper with an epson durabright ink cx5000.
When i print on the paper the color grey looks grey. But after heat transferring at 375 for 20 sec. it looks a definite green.
Ive tried lower heat and lower times at the higher heat and it doesnt make any difference..its still green after heatpressing?
Any ideas on where to start?

Re: looks grey on paper but after pressing its green? I assume that printer uses Durabrite ink? Try adjusting your color profile settings. When printing, click advanced settings, then set Yellow to -15, Cyan to +5, and Magenta to +5. See how that looks; you may need to tweak it a bit further form there, but it's a good place to start.

Re: looks grey on paper but after pressing its green? I have this same problem on a shirt I did last night. Should those settings be the ones to use all the time or just for gray?
Thanks!

Re: looks grey on paper but after pressing its green? I would use them all the time if using Durabrite ink.....
