Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted July 9, 2014 Looks like the camo is a bit dark. and a hint of pink in the white. If it is be sure to do a head cleaning and nozzle check. also press for a few seconds less. Had that happen dropped the time 5 seconds and they were pure white again. Over all looks great. Never give up put it aside and do it later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted July 9, 2014 Looks good, usually paper is the culprit usually not using the right side of It or buying the cheap brand. As for the pink in the white I believe that might be due to gas escaping might have to go a little tighter on the pressure. Or maybe form of ghosting with lifting the paper.

Or maybe form of ghosting with lifting the paper.yea that first paper I got off eBay looked the same on both sides but the one I got from Conde you could tell the difference in the sides so I am very happy.i will add a little more pressure but guys I think what you are see is a product of a crappy cell phone pic.i do think the camo is a tad dark but the white is really bright with no shades of pink 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eddieb378 41 Posted July 22, 2014 Ok so tonight I did a phone case with a chevron glitter look to it and on the blue chevron stripe turned out great but the white part has a pink tint to it. I did a nozzle check and cleaned it,printed it out again and I can still see a pink tint.Any ideas guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted July 22, 2014 Is the pink cast visible on the printed paper, or only after pressing? Does the printing turn pinkish while pressing? Is your press 100% clean and are you using 2 sheets of protective paper when you press, one below and one above? Which color profile are you using when you print? For future reference, try putting your final product in front of a white piece of paper when shooting your picture - if it is now, then your camera is adding a serious color shift to your image... and that makes it tough for us to diagnose.

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted July 22, 2014 The pink could be from the initials your using. Is your pressure tight enough? are you taping it down good. It looks like dye migration, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted July 22, 2014 I can see the pink when it print it out If you can see it on the page when it prints, then it's not a pressing/pressure issue. Either the original file has a pink cast to it, which may not be visible on the screen, or there is a problem with the profiles, or maybe even the printer itself. Load up the image on your computer and put it against a white background and see if any pink tinge is visible. It not, try printing an image with a lot of white space surrounded by color and see if pink is showing up. My guess is that the original image has some pink that you're just not seeing, in which case you can tweak the colors slightly in PhotoShop, Photo Paint, Gimp or whatever raster art program you prefer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted July 22, 2014 I agree with OW theres got to be a slight pink hue to the image, or some reason the red jet on the printer is being triggered. Do you have another printer to print a test out on to see if this is the issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddieb378 41 Posted July 22, 2014 Yes I have a printer with pigment inks in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted July 22, 2014 print the file up on that with plain paper and see if the pink shows up this way we can isolate if its the printer or ink profile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
