Black turns green, and yellow turns green -- maybe the black isn't just pure black ink, but rather a composite of colors and it contains the yellow? That's why everyone says to go to the advanced printer section and adjust yellow to -15 and cyan and magenta both to +5. Except with the gray, it came out purple with those settings. To me it's ridiculous to have to play with the advanced settings with every design!

It is nice to rest... I found Ebay to be very time consuming when I did it. For me, it was alot of work for very little return.
I agree wholeheartedly. A lot of work and at times 30% in fee expense between Ebay fees, PayPal fees, etc. Haven't sold for over 9 months on Ebay, and hate to go back, but still have an inventory of books, and are hoping to cross-sell with the shirts... As much as I hate to admit it, it can be a very good way to get your stuff seen by the buying public...

I don't see myself ever venturing into this biz as far as Lou (wow), but I really enjoy this.
Me too, but don't have the time to get into it as much as Lou. Unfortunately, I don't think the shirt biz is going to give me the salary/benefits of my full-time job -- which is a shame, because I really love doing the shirts!

I am going to hang around here to learn more from the pro's here, but am moving on to develop the other biz in my life. It's way more simple.
Agreed!

Is it happening to mine and I don't really notice it? Should I check more closely?
Quite possibly. Having switched from a HP Photosmart to the Epson, I noticed a big difference in the coloring, right away. With Epson, black has a greenish cast before pressing, and big time after pressing. Photos of people appeared yellow. People in yellow dresses? Disasterous: couldn't see where the skin started and the dress ended! I would carefully check your prints in bright sunlight, because indoor lighting can already have a yellow cast.

When you find an ink that works well with the JPSS, will you let me know?
Absolutely! All of my experiences/testing is now part of the public record! LOL

By the way, just found my invoice for the sweatshirts -- they are Gildan Ultra Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt 12000. The website is ssactivewear.com.

All my best,
