do you use color profile?? if nor this sometimes cause grey coming out brown or purpure...
did you actually pressed your print or judging what you can see on paper?

 

[mischieface]

I don't have color profiles. I'm obviously a noob @ this! I spent so much on the equipment, I got some cheap ink to learn with. I know the saw grass inks come with their profile software, can I buy it in small bottles?

 

[SaB]

yes. in 50ml i think. what ink you have so i might find profile for you.

 

[mischieface]

ND ink by Din sink.
For a cheap ink, I love the vibrancy of the colors and the dark black. If you could get a profile that would rock!

do you know how to set photoshop to work with profiles??

 

[mischieface]

I searched around here on the site, and googled some things, to no avail. I did read somewhere that you can set the printers profile to a custom profile also, but they didn't say how. I use photoshop and Illustrator creating images. If you can help me again that would be great!
Thanks

ok. your settings in photoshop should look like this:

and in your printer like this:

when printing via your profile make sure you do that:

hope this make sense

No probs. Now just set photoshop as on screen shoots. When you open some photo you should see mismatch profila msg. ALWAYS choice to use working space so in this case is adobe RGB. When printing just pick your icc as on picture an off you go. Let me know if profile good. If not i will try to find something else.

In photoshop cs5.5, under color settings, the first drop box "settings" -There is no "sublim" here's what I've got:
Emulate adobe illustrator 6 / custom / monitor color / north American general purpose 2 / n American newspaper / n American pre press 2 / n American web-internet / Europe general purpose 3 / Europe prepress 3 / Europe web-internet 2 / and some Japanese options pretty similar.....

sublima is my private preset. just set everything as on screen shot and then click save name it whatever you wish to name it

 

[mischieface]

yeah that was a dummy move. I figured that shortly after I replied. When I check the 3 boxes under the image it tells me it can't do it because of the invalid profile. I tried to print anyway, and it wouldn't print! Says "could not print because the ICC profile is invalid!

match color prints
Gamut warning
Show paper white
Also if I tried to resize or center it gave me the same warning about the profile. I really appreciate everything you are helping me with here!
