Exclamation Printing Grey

For some reason everytime i print grey on a transfer it has a dark green glow around the image when i press it. Ive desaturated, grayscale, even changed the color profile to dot gain. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. Also if anyone has any other advice such as type of transfer paper, ect.

Default Re: Printing Grey

Green cast is common with Epson Durabrite ink. Suggested fix is plus 5 cyan, plus 5 magenta and minus five yellow. I go -15 on yellow for some instances.

Also I get truer grey using CMYK in Corel Draw 12 (versus using Pantone)....most especially when printing with Magic Mix ink (TransJet II paper).

I have found "black" is not really black with Durabrite. I get a better black using Magic Mix (personalizedsupplies.com)

And some report really black black using MIS ink (inksupply.com).
