MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 24, 2015 I noticed you have banding in the images, most of my customers noticed this when I first started out and requested a price break. So I will just give you a heads up on this. Before you go to print go into printer preference go to the drop down menu for quality and selected either fine or quality. Once that is done find the more options tab click that and find where it says additional settings and uncheck high speed. You shouldn't have any banding. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djque 246 Posted February 26, 2015 I saw the banding and fixed it. I always turn off high speed printing bit for some reason it was on. Plus i always use fine or quality to. But thanks for the heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted February 26, 2015 Epson has a tendency to automatically turn on high speed printing. Ever since my first encounter with my R200 to the WF7510 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShowMeCleaning 53 Posted February 26, 2015 When I do those steps change to fine and turn off high speed. It changes from photo to text & image. Then I check photo and it all goes back to photo and high speed. This is a Epson workforce 30. I also for some reason get a line around parts of were my paper edge lays on cup. I make sure there is no ink on my paper edge. and it always a black color. Thank any help will do. Is Text & Image that much of a different in color???

mr300s 1,272 Posted February 26, 2015 Somehow you are getting ink , are you using a paper cutter (I think it picks something off of the blade of the cutter) ? If you are try cutting it with scissors, and if their is any sort of black square around the image cut it off with scissors you dont need it...It can even pick up ink off the blades of the cutter or scissors. And once you wrap the mug make sure you are taking a piece of butcher paper and going around the image covering it. Anytime you are doing sublimation you will learn that everything has to be super clean and spot less... I have even got a black ink spot inside the mug so I always wipe the inside and outside of the mug with alcohol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShowMeCleaning 53 Posted February 26, 2015 Yes I use scissors. To cut any black off the edges. Maybe it is on my scissors after I cut that black thin line off. I can print like 3 to a page of text-R and only the first one will have the thin black line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShowMeCleaning 53 Posted February 26, 2015 And I have never had spots on the inside of my mug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted February 26, 2015 Somehow the ink is on something try cleaning the scissors with Scott's favorite Just for your info they don't recommend Tex Print paper for mugs , although I have used it for mugs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShowMeCleaning 53 Posted February 26, 2015 I'll be going to DAX show in the morning and ask lots of question. I know coastal says use image right paper. But you know its dam hard to read instruction. Not sure if Scotts favorite would work well. But it does sound very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
