First off, you're wasting your time without first installing an ICC profile and MAKING YOUR GRAPHICS SOFTWARE USE THE PROFILE to print. This is a very important first step. You must switch off colour management in your printer driver and let your graphics software manage colours via the ICC.
the F instead of C is a very destinct possibility !

sorry but I don't really get that F instead of C what did you mean ?
Is your press reading in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius? It's a common mistake to be sublimating at way too low a temperature, 180 deg F, instead of 180 deg C.
it is reading at 180 Celsius I have had delivered today some samples of dyes sub printed already tried and all working good with press not a problem.So there is a problem with ink or printer I think I have asked cie for ICC but they have got funny with me a bit said that I don't really need ICC to print and do sublimation.No idea if I need to get new ink or what else to do.
I do have to diffrent type of paper. one is from Ink Express sublimation shrapnels 120g ,other one is from CIE.When pressed image is exactly the same yellow on both papers.I I have changed ink ( I did get that with printer so it is second hand ) I have flushed heads as well.
I can't understand why CIE would say you don't need an ICC profile for sub-printing with their inks and a Ricoh 3110 printer. I've always found communications with CIE to be excellent.Originally Posted by jack73
Saying that, since I use the same inks, paper and printer as you, I can PM you a link to download a CIE profile (for your MacOs) and see if that makes a difference. I don't print with Inkscape though so you'll have to find out how to use an ICC with that software.
The only other thing I can think of that may be causing your issue is that you haven't flushed the old inks right through and the new inks aren't reaching the print heads yet. It takes a LOT of ink to refill those ink lines.
Is it Ink Express Subli Sharp paper? Are you saying the transfer print is yellow or only yellow is transferring?
No matter what the paper is if it's just printing yellow the fault is with your printer. if the profile was wrong, settings wrong etc. it would still be colour, all be it the wrong colours. Just yellow leads me to thin CMK are blocked. Can you post pic of nozzle check.
if you had old non subli ink in that printer it all needs flushing out, you can';t just add carts and it will work through, it will take forever.
Other than the cotton t-shirt, what else have you tried pressing onto?
