Re: complete noob in need of help with mug press

Post by hauntedpsychic »

Hi Everyone, Just wondered if anyone could help me out with some issues I'm having with my new mug press.
The problems are as follows -
1. Images are printing faded and not very crisp ( slightly blurry in fact)
2. Colour problems such as black prints more like dark grey, red is more like pink and blue prints out as lilac/purple
I am using an EPSON WF-2010 printer with ink from a company called C.EYE :confused: (that's what it says on the bottles)
and an ARTECH MP160 mug press.
If anyone can help please as I have wasted around 20 mugs already :frown::frown::frown:....:mad:
Also is there any dedicated software to help with product templates as I was thinking of going in to other products if I can get the problems sorted.

Cheers
Keith

Do you have a profile supplied by the seller? Not inks I've ever heard of so you may be on a road to nowhere right now. Lots and lots of threads on here discussing the merits of taking a supported route.

You need a profile to tell the printer what colour to print with your inks, without it nothing will come out right.

You can get a custom profile made (Paul on here can do that)
