Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 11, 2015 are you using a 100 percent poly shirt and are you using the right color profiles for your brand or sublimation ink? they are all different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted November 11, 2015 Also do you have the image printed on the correct side? Should be on the shiny side 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted November 11, 2015 The paper I use it is the brightest white side to print on. Sucks sometimes to the light is just a bit too dim and i print on the wrong side. But on a funny note I did get a print to come out off a plain piece of paper. The other day bought a few shirts 100% poly but somehow they got a 100% cotton mixed in same cut and everything came out faded. have to read every label. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraphxNMore 282 Posted November 11, 2015 If the image came out printed perfectly, then it's not set up right. Your paper image should look slightly off colored. Another reason it would look light is maybe longer press time. It's always a good idea to buy "practiced" items to use before ruining sell items. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted November 11, 2015 When you use cotton or cotton blend shirts, the dye will still sublimate and transfer, but there aren't any polyester fibers for it to bond to, so it will penetrate the shirt deeper and not stick well, so you get a very washed out looking transfer. It probably won't survive a single washing as there is nothing for the dye to adhere to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heathersummerlin@yahoo.com 0 Posted January 11, 2016 I am wanting to do sublimation printing was wanting to know if Epsom 1430 is a good machine? Also what is the best sublimation ink for it? Lastly do I need to set up the printer a different way to make it sublimation. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dennx 6 Posted January 11, 2016 Sublimation ink is only to be used on 100% polyester shirts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn's Design 403 Posted January 11, 2016 I use it on a 50/50 shirt but its not as bright. That way it dyes every other thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brosublimationpaper 0 Posted January 18, 2016 You were using the sublimation paper right ? If yes , you should use sublimation ink , also i think your time is too long , for sublimation ink ,the timing could be 30 to 35 seconds. If you are using the wrong ink , i attach a pic for your reference to see if you were using the correct ink . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
