I have a new Epson Stylus C86 printer to print Sublimation ink for printing
on mugs. Printer model name: EPSON Stylus C86
Computer Type: PC,Operating System: Windows 98, Interface: USB (Universal
Serial Bus) The problem is when I print out an image for the mug the blue
color in the image comes out dark purple, I have contacted Epson support and
they are helping a little but they tell me they do not support any other ink
in their printers. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I did the head
cleaning then the print nozzle check pattern and it was OK and there was no
gaps in the lines.
Thanks for any help!

You need to get an ICC profile from the ink manufacturer.

Thank you Mark,
I will call the ink manufacturer and ask for the ICC profile, what will I
need to then?

OK, I know that answer to that now 🙂 they are going to send me a CD to
install a new driver.
Thanks for your help, you are great!

Exactly Pete. It's so gratifying to find that I am not the only one who
finds this ignorant use of 'your' when 'you're' is what is meant. 'Your' is
a possessive adjective - for Hades sake people! To use it in any other way
shows ignorance and lack of education.

I have downloaded and installed the new ICC profile from the ink
manufacturer and printed again with no improvement. I have used PSP7 and MS
Paint with both programs giving the same results. I need more help! Thanks

Are you sure you have Color Management properly enable in either PSP OR the
Epson driver, But NOT both? Double enabling of color management tends to
cause too much magenta in an image which give the result you are seeing.

Otherwise I'd say turn color management off and start by decreasing the
magenta in the color controls of the driver until you get something that
works.

You need to contact the dye-sub ink company and ask if they provide
printer profiles for their inks. Printer driver profiles are designed
for specific inks and papers (or in your case surfaces you are printing to).

They all differ. Epson cannot design the necessary profiles for every
ink and paper type, so either you get one made professionally and pay a
fee for it, or, if you are lucky, someone else has made one and will
provide you with it (the ink company, or another user).

I will tell you that blues are one of the biggest problems in inkjet
printing, in fact, in most color printing.

Yes, you two are certainly "petes" in a pod, and you usually deserve one
another. You both add so much useful information to this list.

Personally, I'll take grammatical errors, mis-spelling, even bottom
posting, from someone who shows the class to express appreciation for
someone's help and a bit of civility; something neither of you typically
seem capable of.

What color is the cyan ink output in the nozzle check? Is it cyan or
more dark blue?

Have you tried to print it onto the cup? It's possible either:

a) you cannot reproduce that blue/cyan with the dye-sub inks because
they have a more restrictive gamut

b) The color changes when it is sublimated to the surface of the mug,
etc. and only looks that dark on the transfer paper.

First of all take two Q tips.

Put it in this cyan ink and make some marks with it on ordinary paper.

With a second one repeat the same with some normal ink. O make X marks with
these two Q tips.

Then show us what you have got.

This rang a bell from high school art class. This stuff is going to be
fired in kiln or oven to bake it on, no? Remember the glazes used on
pottery in unfired state look nothing like their fired color.

I checked file/preferences/color management in PSP7 and it was not enabled,
so I enabled it. I then Looked in
Printer/PowerDriveQC86/file/properties/color management and it had Automatic
checked, and I did not change it, I then went into PSP7 and check the colors
on the image and needed to increased them to 16 million colors and printed a
sample it came out better but still a little dark so I tested it on a mug
and it came out perfect 🙂
Thanks everyone for all your help,
George
