Help - Problem with printing on sublimation film!

[olleolle]

Hi,

First thanks for a fantastic forum and sorry for my bad english.

I have recently invested in a printer Epson WP-4015 but I have a big problem when I print with sublimation film http://sublideck.com/sublimation-3dfilm.html


The printer feeds a littlebit and then stops and says jams. It works fine if I try with plain paper. I guess it's because sublimation film is a bit transparent.


But this is the printer vendor recommend so it should work. Guess it's something I missed?


Grateful for advice


Thanks.

Hi Thomas, Try a photo paper setting to see if that helps. It might be a good idea to speak to Sublideck to see what they say about the problem.

I have try with all the paper settings, the only way that works is with "Plain paper" but then its only only with low print quality. I also tried to reach Sublideck, but i guess they closed for the holidays :(

Presumably you're using PowerDriver for the Sublijet-IQ inks in the Epson printer? If so, then does it not work with the default option in the PowerDriver software?

We're experimenting with similar paper, but there is a transparent as well as gold coated film. The gold coated film removes the transparency issue so it is 'seen' as paper by the printer.

Im use the default Epson driver that comes with the printer. Could that be a problem ? Maybee there is another ?
