Hi there
I am very new to Dye Sub printing. I have a new business printing my artwork onto placemats and puzzles. However i have gone through so many blank placemats because of constant problems. I followed the printer settings PDF closely to set up the print preset in Photoshop. I create my artwork in Illustrator, then open it in Photoshop and make i sure i use the Dye Sub preset. The print is coming out really stripey, the edges not sharp and loads of speckles everywhere! I have already changed some of the designs from white backgrounds to full colour, which i dont like so much and will use more ink, because on the white background i was getting yellowy patches. I have already had to change the whole print cartridge unit because the tubes kept getting tangled up and actually managed to snap off the ink level reset chip. I am thoroughly miserable with it all and am just desperate for some help! Martin from BMS has helped me with stuff before, but i couldnt get in touch with him, so please contact me if you can help!
My printer is the Epson D120 with the Continuous ink system.
