hi Guys!
I recently purchased an Epson Workforce 30 which is all set up and ready to go.
I ordered sublimation paper from a seller on EBAY and I think he sent me paper that was already damaged before shipping it out. I was told that maybe the paper came in contact with some moisture and that's the reason why it curls up in the corners and is very hard to pass through the printer.
but I seem to have fixed the problem by scotch taping the bottom of the sheet to another plain sheet of paper to keep the bottom of the page straight and curl free.. It also helped to have cut out the the curls off the corners. Now paper runs through easily.
Now my problem is when the page runs out of the printer, the ink seems to have blotched/ and or bled right through the paper itself. The ink is not drying fast enough . And also the picture is not clear at all. I have run plain and glossy paper through and picture came out real nice. But the problem occurs when I use the sublimation paper. I am printing on the shiny side.
can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong? i don't think the issue is the paper, I think I need to adjust the settings on the printer and I'm not sure what to set it to. javascript:emoticonp('http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/confused.png')
hope someone has answers for me.
thanks in advance,,,,yvonjavascript:emoticonp(':(')
