    Posted by Emily on 13 April 2009 at 16:48

    am fairly new to sublimation so bear with me on this. I am printing using a D120, Rotech ink and Adobe CS Photoshop. I have the colour profiles set correctly because i contacted someone within sawgrass but i keep getting a weird issue that i can’t quite explain. Once i have done the design i like import three copies to a word document so i can get three to a page and it’s quick and easy, thing is i am getting issues with Blue and green not printing correctly, weird thing is sometimes it does work sometimes it don’t, i am wasting ink and sub paper, please help. do i need to change something in microsoft word??

    thanks everyone

    Hi,
    Don’t know much about sublimation but why are you using word to do this?

    The Colour Profile is not set up for Word, set up your artwork in Photoshop and print from there, the problem should be solved.

    Cheers

    ‘Subman’ a little premature don’t you think?

    actually it’s sub – girl but find girls get a raw deal on forums

    😛

    anyway

    I use word coz it’s easier to print three and put lines inbetween for cutting, but have increased my canvas now and doing it in photoshop

    thanks all

    Don’t think its an equality thing 😕 just couldn’t work out why you wanted to print out sub prints on a typewriter :lol1:

    Hello again Sub-girl,
    It would definitely be worth your while introducing yourself in the ‘Say Hello’ section, also use your real name and post a pic…….we’re a friendly bunch with a mine of useful info.

    yeah i know, it’s just i suppose i’m used to MS word, well you learn by your mistakes don’t you, like all the cracked mugs and wasted sub paper, and ink everywhere a few weeks ago… :lol1: :lol1:

    Hi Subman,
    Yeh, I think it would be a steep learning curve – I too was wanting to get into this side of printing for doing picture mugs.

    Like Jeremy said, it does help to post an intro and use your real name, info will be a lot easier to get and give, and you’ll be taken more seriously.

    Cheers John
