Hello,
I have a Ricoh GX7000. Initially I did my colour correction in Photoshop. I think I'm getting the times and temperature for pressing okish now and the results are nearly how I want it (blacks are good) but blues are a little bit off so I thought I will give Powerdriver a go to see whether I get better results.
I have tried a couple of mugs with it but already on the print outs I could see that printing from Powerdriver has made the prints really light and low-quality. I save my image from Photoshop with sRGB profile and then print out separately through MS Publisher (that's how I print with my inkjet printer and I found I get the best results).
In the settings I selected Ceramic and the paper Trupix classic (although my paper is Signal but they don't have an option for that), intent - realistic (I want it to print what I see on the screen). For some reason, it prints on high-speed setting and I can't find a way of printing high-quality instead. You could see the print isn't as smooth as if it was printed on high-quality. When I go to Paper/Quality Advanced settings print quality is set to High Speed and it's greyed out, I can't change it. I registered the product when I installed it.
When I pressed the mugs, the colours seemed right but it was way too light as if not enough ink on the print to press onto the mug and the artefacts created by the high-speed printing were visible.
How do I get Powerdriver to print high-quality and get it to print so the images don't come out too light on the mugs?
Thank you in advance for any tips.
