Hi everybody.
I use for my cotton tshirts a sublimation paper called "forever subliflex" which for months is giving me headaches.
When printing from C Draw, photoshop or other programs the image comes out reddish.
The same thing happens to the sublimation paper for mugs(siser sublimation paper) but at a smaller scale.
I tried with an ICC, without it, with settings found on internet, without any settings, nothing seems to work fine.
I uploaded 2 images with the image in original form and the one after is beeing printed.
The printer is an Epson WF 7015 with CISS.

You are having ink flow issues. Your "black" is likely a composite of CMY and you are missing one or more colors in the composite black.

Suggest you check your CISS priming.

Print these color bars to locate the missing colors and/or do a nozzle check.

Also,you can't just use any ICC profile, it must be one for the same printer model and ink brand you are using.
Ideally, you would want one made for your specific printer, ink and transfer paper.

I have found with the 7010/7015 printers, that as your ink is running low or runs out, the image changes colors.

Especially if you're using different carts. I.E. you changed your ink cartridges from the ones that came with it. I changed my carts to refillables. I no longer receive the Ink Level warnings.

Once I refill the carts, and due a head clean or two everything works great.

My Black ink cart is hard to see when the ink is out. The ink has stained the inside to look as if it's half full. Now once I start having either banding issues or turning a different colors like yours, I refill, reset the carts and do a head clean or two.

Thank you all for the advices.
After a good nozzle cleaning with izopropylic alcohol and tissues, i can see some improvements.
