Re:Epson SX130 colours not printing properly

[gwsubs]

Hi guys. Need some advice please. I've been using an Epson sx130 as a sublimations printed for about 18 months + now and all of a sudden my colours aren't printing as they should. Nothing has change, settings, inks, paper, mugs. Everything is the same. At first I thought it might be the printer so I got another identical one and again the same problems.

I am using photoshop elements on my PC and CS5 on my laptop and both have totally seemed to have changed colour wise so I'm guessing its a printer problem. Unless Adobe has unleashed a new update that has annihilated both of my programs.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks
Graham

are you using icc profile?

[gwsubs]

No I've not used anything. I had print settings as
Plain papers
Photo
Mirror image.

That is literally all I needed and I got good quality prints every time. Now it's stopped working for me.
Maybe it's time to get an icc profile made up

yep. this got to be the reason i am afraid. with some images you can get away with what you got stright from the printer driver but in some you will start noticing lack of icc.
