Hi all,
Recently (Just b4 xmas) I began getting strange results on my mug prints. The print on paper looked fine, but when pressed, text edges had a minute 'splatter' looking shadowy, smudgy look to them, and also a 'dirty', yellowy looking background between text, and even in-between images. Images also began to look darker, & colours wrong, i,e, green looking black, blue looking almost black.
This is happening having had good results previously, and no changes to settings.
I am using an Epson printer, paper & inks all from City Ink Express, along with their ICC profile., and have never changed/flushed the system out)
Support at the supplier are saying that my inks may be too old ( I just top them up as & when needed ) (last batch purchased maybe a year or so ago?)
Would this be the case ? Does anyone have any experience of this ?
I have said to the supplier that I will change inks if that's whats required, and asked for advice re changing inks/flushing the system, but as yet, have had no guidance on this. If it comes to it, I may change the printer for an upgrade.
I am not a beginner, I have been subbing (and now manly HTV printing) for around 6 years. This particular printer is around 2-3 years old.
I have attached a couple of pics, but not sure how well it shows the 'dirty' yellow around the text.
Any opinions, & advice gratefully received.
