OK, so I was wanting to be able to make my own profiles for printing - both sublimation work and for papers. I got Spyder3 (version for monitors and printers)
So, after having it lying around for weeks and only having done my monit, I decided to try the print side of things.
So, I printed the test card and transferred it onto a piece of white polyester fabric. So far, so good. Now, things don't seem to work so well from this point on. I have a load of white paper behind the fabric so I don't get the colour of the table influencing things. But, the colours that are scanned seem like a greyed version of what is on screen and actually on the fabric, but I persevered with scanning the whole chart and correcting obvious scanning mistakes.
So, I create the profile, and print from PhotoShop, and wow, my prints now have more than a slight yellow cast :-(
What could cause this? Am I missing something important? Made newbie mistake? Anything else I could try?
Wasted hours so far, printing test cards, sublimating, scanning, printing test images ... Hours I could have been actually printing products to sell tomorrow.
Argh!
:-(
