Don't melt the zips.
It doesn't say sublimation on the label so it is a reasonable assumption that it is ordinary dye based printer ink.
You need to syringe the ink ouit of the carts, buy some sublimation ink and...
Do you mean the original Epson start up cartridges that came with the printer? Those are just regular printing carts and will not sublimate.
You need specialist Dye Sublimation ink to sublimate....
Looking at the a-sub profile link you supplied they suggest you set print quality to 'standard' but in your original post you say you are using 'high quality'. I happens with some paers that less...
RGB only.
Your printer is expecting an RGB file which it converts to match the inkset.
Also if using a MAC printing with ICC profiles doesn't work well - the O/s converts to its own internal...
Are you using 'DYE SUBLIMATION' ink or regular 'DYE BASED' printer ink? Big difference.
Only doing logos so mug presses will be fine.
I think the only way to do all over prints in low volumes is with a UV printer with a kebab fitting for bottles. They start at about £17k, so that...
I want to try using the oven for bowling bottles but can't find cactus wraps the right size so I am going to try film.
Does the heat shrink film work ok with a good even presure?
Is it better to...
I did consider it but walked away. I think it will go through too many printheads to be cost effective - Mimaki only offer a 12 month warranty and charge a massive £5K price premium with their DTF...
Try removing any teflon sheet from the platen rubber. The bare rubber should hold the item better and reduce shrinkage or movement. You could also try using some screen printers spray tac to hold the...
Is your image designed as RGB or CMYK?
Have you stored your paper in dry conditions?
What computer are you using?
Not familiar with Gimp, but when you send to print are you selecting the option...
I think that is an endemic fault with this entire dynasty of printers. I have always had the same problem with all of the 1400's and 1500W's I have owned (which are essentially the same printer...
I think it has been superceeded by the L8050.
Have you tried cleaning the rubber roller in the pick up tray? They tend to get covered in residue from the coated paper that causes pick up issues.
I find a small piece of application film will...
What software are you using? Not all will allow you to use an ICC profile to control the printer.
Are you working in CMYK or RGB? (your printer is expecting to recieve an RGB file so never CMYK)...
You would need to use a low temperature vinyl - both to stop the possibility of the elastaine melting and to guard against dye migration. You will get a sheen/press box, but that is just par for the...
Taking your life in your hands.
A new print head is likely to be in the region of £1500 plus fitting. The printhead is virtually a consumable part, and after sitting for a couple of years it is...
Have you got the paper guides close enough to the paper in the feed tray?
The guides need to be just 1mm shy of touching the paper to stop it skewing when it runs throught the printer. If the guides...
Just get one of these. Worth their weight in gold for a small shop. Cheap enough and good quality for the price.

Those are good prices.
I am buying in dtf prints as and when needed. I have had the budget for a printer set aside for over a year now, but still don't want to pull the plug. To me the nunbers...
The prints are good, and they work well on polyester as well. Properly printed and applied they will outlast the garment.
The problem commes with the ongoing costs of the printer. You need to be...
From memory that is very thin lightweight paper. Sounds like you are having the same problems I am having with the Titan paper - it is so thin that it can't absorb the ink quickly enough and it is...
High quality won't reduce ink coverage, but it will take longer to print giving ink more time to dry into the paper.
If it is pin wheel marks then it means the ink isn't dry on the paper by the time the paper is fed through the pin wheels. I have been having the same problem with Titan tacky paper recently. Some...
