I know, wouldn't it be awesome if the shirts did the trick to bring in the money? Some people here are doing just that, though. I can't seem to get beyond 'testing' to make a real go of it.
But it is definitely fun and definitely brings happiness to each person who receives the garment. People love their shirts, doing this now, it's so funny to realize how much they really do. I'm not a clothes horse myself, I've become aware of it watching the kids. Anything to keep 'bringing on those smiles'. Life's too short and can be rough at times, so why not bring as much happiness to the table as possible.
I do adjust the advanced settings in the c88. I do agree that I don't want to. I have seen the yellow, which was horrible b4 adjusting. I often wish I could save the settings under different names. One day, maybe.
The yellow was even worse on my Canon pixma (b4 I learned here about pigment, thank you TSF).
On the c88, in addition to adjusting the yellow - I also adjust the bright, contrast and saturation. The black was not dark enough or compelling enough next to the actual photo.
For ironall light, I use 0 bright, +2 contrast, 0 sat, 0 cyan, +5 magenta, -10 yellow.
But ironall dark I use -3 Bright, 0 contrast, +3 sat, +5 cyan, +5 magenta, -10 yellow.
I leave a bit of yellow in because when I take it out, the skin tone becomes to harsh, I like it on the warm side. Maybe b/c I am adjusting the brights contrasts and saturations, it's working together that -10 yellow is okay for me. I have no idea.
Now SS has totally different settings for the same images on the light paper. One image becomes -3 bright, +3 contrast, +0 sat, +5 cyan, +5 mag, -10 yellow.
That's why I feel like a mad scientist in here sometimes. I (just like everyone else who's testing) am using alot of ink and paper to adjust the colors. I started cutting the sheets half and printing 2x3's to check the colors. Flip 'em over and send them through again the other way just to check color. Wasting slowed down when I started doing that, but still... makes ya bite your nails when you see the sheets end up in the trash.
Hope work goes fast. Thanks for the numbers on the swtshirt. Have a great day-
Kelly
