ok, newbie here and need to step by step explanation.
I am looking to design in Photoshop CS4 and then print to my Epson WF1100 inkjet onto a white cotton tee and have the colors match or come damn close. so far everything has been great until....
I had a design with some hot pink text and the printed version came out purple. it was not until someone told me to increase the yellow in that part of the design that I got it to come out as close to pink as I could get.
I have played with the printer settings in every way shape and form, i.e. photoshop manages color, printer manages color, no color management.
Do I design in RGB or design in CMYK? What is an ICC profile and does that apply to my situation?
The main color I'm having trouble with is hot pink or pink in general.. it comes out purple on the printer.
Is there a GENERAL setting that i can apply to my printer and use that every time I print a design out or is this something I'm going to have to change every time?


thanks so much!!!
