Problem was not printing black inks in 'pure black'

Solution: Ensuring RGB 1998 was assigned to file.



I was not applying the correct profile, my mistake.

Sounds like the problem i was having, i'll see if anyone has any other ideas

You're using an Adobe 1998 workspace, that's good.
You're using a custom ICC, that's also good!

Are you using the same settings (paper type and quality) in the Epson print driver as when you printed the test charts?
Are you using the same transfer paper as when you did the test charts?
What transfer paper are you using?
Do you get the same problem with blacks on every product you print (fabric and mugs for instance)?
Have you tried converting to Adobe 1998 instead of Asigning?
What rendering intent settings are you using?
Can you post screen shots of the PS print settings dialog box?

Hi pisquee, i am using the same sublimation paper yes. This is Xpres paper.

Same setting in the epson driver yes.

Yes i have tried converting with the same problems.

Rendering intent: Perceptual with black compensation
Colour handling: Photoshop manages colours and Custom ICC

Think have cracked it, when assigning profile in CS6 if i save the document after assigning the profile and reopen then print i get dull blacks.

If i don't save the file then every time i open the file get the dialog box below the print comes out excellent.




File info of print which is perfect
