Not being funny here but your 'black' transfer prints look green to me.

Is your ICC profile set up correctly? What software are you printing from?

I've heard of green blacks being a problem before with Epsons.

Hi, I used these settings in Illustrator...

I installed the ICC from the City Ink Express disk I got with the bundle

The graphic comes black on the paper but when heat pressed is pale green/yellow.
The result of the colour wheel(which I downloaded from google images) test transfer failure is very disappointing too.

Looking like the cyan head is blocked. There's also some terrible banding on that colour wheel.

Have you done a nozzle check?

Does seem like the Cyan is not turning out after the heat pressing despite it looking OK on the sub-paper.

I've run a nozzle check and there was a slight break in the magenta only. I've since cleaned the heads.

Have you tried sublimating a different product: mug, aluminium sheet, coaster, etc?

Also, is there any possibility the cyan ink may not not be sublimation ink?

I've only got T-shirts. There was regular ink in the printer before. Maybe I need to purge that out?... I'll print some bands of CMY&K. ......IT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED! :redface:
The black does have a dark green tinge though upon closer inspection.

Another thing...
The print has gone through to other side of garment. Any suggestions for what material to put in-between to prevent this?

Just some cardboard or a sheet of greaseproof paper popped inside the t-shirt should stop the print sublimating through to the back.

Try using proper sublimation ink

Sorry to jump on you thread but I have a similiar setup can anyone recommend the best sublimation paper to use ... thanks in advance

I'm looking at the colour purely from an artists point of view as i have no experience with sublimation at the moment. Is the paper in the picture used? I agree it does look on the green side. But if its used then that will explain it. I assume is uses black too, Blacks are usually either brown or blue based depending on manufacturer, so it's probably a blue based black. Again adding to the green shift but i thought it would be a lot darker.
If the colour is coming out green then i would say magenta is missing or else it would be orange. Cyan (blue) and yellow make green so I would say that the magenta is at fault but I would also check the black due to the lightness.
