    Good luck anyway
    Totally agree, not having too much trouble with sublimation of images onto tiles, mugs etc, this is a problem when producing 20" x 16" prints on textured and or coated fine art papers, think I'll stick to just subbing......

    I didn't realise you were printing onto fine art papers. You should not be experiencing half of these problems then. I think moving to PC could be a very wise decision under the circumstances.

    Sorry, busy day - ditto to above WRT making sure everything is calibrated with a Spyder or Munki (printer and monitors) as well as everything using Adobe RGB 1998 (camera, monitor and document profile in Photoshop)
    Although you seem to be having more problems with the art prints, I don't know the printer you're using.

    Our business is similar, and all based on my wife's artwork and designs. We gave up on trying to photograph her artwork, and bought a large format scanner - we get much better focus and detail than any photography we did in-house or subbed out to pro-togs. For sublimation we use an Epson Stylus Pro 9600 (42" wide, 7 colour, running InkTec's Sublinova ink) and for art prints the 7600 (24" version of the 9600, running InkTec's pigment inks) If you're reproducing art then you will need more than the Ricoh office printer and better ink than Sawgrass' consumer inks can offer, especially when it's only 4 colours.

    In terms of monitors to look at, make sure they're IPS rather than TN based panels.

    For calibration, we use a Datacolor Spyder, the version we have has calibration for screens and paper

    The other little thing I have noticed and not had time to explore is that I needed to calibrate not just the screen and then the printer, I needed to use the calibrate screen to printer...still learning!

    Hi Paul, I used the same Raw image from the camera card,trouble I have with the laptop though is the screen, nice and soft to the touch but far to small for image editing, so the mac is on Ebay and I'm looking at a twin monitor set up with HP Z series monitors.
