Hi All
Apologies for putting in a second post with queries but I'm getting a bit stuck and I'm guessing someone else had had similar problems.
I have been trying to setup printer to get correct colours and have been getting some problems getting the correct colours to print.
I have a Epson B1100 with the supplied profile installed, using artainium inks. Printing from Coreldraw 9. I've been using Corel for a few years with no problems outputting to paper prints. It didn't have the same setup as suggested on the artanium cd supplied, but they have talked me through the correct settings so should be ok.
The problem I'm getting is that some artwork is pretty well as I see it on the screen but others come out way too dark. I'm using a mixture of customer supplied photo's, jpegs, corel vector artwork. Some is set up as RGB, some is set up as CMYK. So I'm thinking - do I need to convert everything to bitmaps and make it CMYK or RGB? could this been the problem? Some RGB stuff works fine, some CMYK stuff works fine but others are way too dark. It all looks fine on screen of course and prints out as expected on the colour laser. Greys are coming out pinky /purple, greens are very dark. Nozzle check shows good.
I'm printing onto mugs (although I'm getting a bit short of them now! :D ) using trupix paper from BMS.
Any advice would be welcome as I'm beginning to lose the plot with this and running out of mugs fast (fortunately the helpful Martin is just down the road, so I can get more supplies)
Cheers
Dave
