Gosh thank you SO much! This was was the only video that actually helped me. Everyone else's was very vague or simple. I was able to callibrate my settings beautifully. SUPER happy thanks again!
Wow, I appreciate the thorough tutorial. I have Affinity photo but features are very similar... maybe after several years sublimating I can get my colors closer to what is on my screen! Thanks!
Hi, I found your videos super helpful. But I will be really thankful if you can help me out me , I am using Epson sublimation printer F130. With sublimation ink and paper both Epson, how to calibrate my printer? And in this printer preference has only two options. (Rigid and textile) . How to adjust or calibrate the colour for better result. As now the prints and Colors are not as vibrant as it should be even after the press. Thanks in advance.
if im not mistaken, try to start buy printing small sample using rigid and textile, then press, which ever profile give a better result then try to focus there and start to play with the photoshop settings.
hi kuyajosh, i don't have a specific tutorial for pigment but the procedure will be the same. it is much easier becaue you can see the color the moment you print the sample. you dont need to press it.
hi ianaprecio, it is more on trial and error. you need to try all the options that you have and stick to the option that will give you a better result.
Hi Anderson, it will depend on the settings of your mugs. when i created this video, my mugs required 180 seconds to transfer the image. but right now, my mugs only require 60 seconds. use the normal settings that you're currently using and calibrate the color as per this tutorial.
If you will watch it carefully you will see the settings. What i am showing is the process and not the final settings because my final setting will not work for others because we’re using different materials.. better to learn the procedure...
Nice .. But when you printed the papers, did you use one piece of paper and cut the part to be pressed .. But how do you go back to inserting the paper to the printer when it was cut ?! Can you explain that to me
Hi Othman, yes I am using only one paper. In my printer, the sensor is on the right side of the printer. 1. A4 size paper is 21cm width, My Image is 9cm width, ( in this case I could be able to print on both sides of the paper... 2. So what I am doing, I am putting the image on the left side, (then cut only the image leaving at least 1cm on the left and 11cm of paper uncut) 3. On the second print, print on the right side (printer will still be able to detect the paper since the right side is still uncut.) 4. Cut the whole line(Row) to remove extra paper, ( so if the original height of the paper is 29.7cm and the image that you printed is 1cm. Then on the third print, the size of your paper might be 28.2 cm only. Therefore you can repeat step 2. (I hope it helps)
Do you mean by the short that you cut the paper from the inside so that at the end of it remains a frame only 1 cm wide on each side ... if it is not accurate what I understood .. Please can you create a short video to make the topic more clear
Hi CT, are you using it for sublimation? you just need to compare whatever options you have in your system. if there's no ultra glossy available, then use something else...
i used for sublimation and i have been printing from my phone from months and everything was perfect until recently it doesn't print correct colors like it becomes yellow and the red becomes pink and everything becomes faded please help
Do do you always switch in photoshop to CMYK? And once you determine your specific profile, do you notice you have problems using same profile with other prints? Also, noticed in photoshop you tell it to allow printer manages color but in printer settings you still aren't allowing printer to make adjustments, correct? Thanks ahead for this video.
1. Yes, I always switch to CMYK. 2. The profile will only work for the same paper, if you will use different paper, you need to test it again and do the same procedure if needed. In my experience, i recalibrated my profile when I change the brand of my sublimation paper. 3. yes, what matters is the changes you made in Printer settings...
Hlo dea i m.using Epson L 3115 Printer With Sublimation ink Sublinova but i m getting yellowish Effect on every cup or keychains tell me solution and settings plz plz reply...
Hello, I don’t think there’s an exact settings for all of us specially that we’re using different printers, papers and 3rd-party ink... I recommend to do it manually like what I have shown in this tutorial,... I have searched a lot of color correction tutorials before but all didn’t work... and the same problem will keep happening until you resolve the issue... please follow my tutorial and believe me, you will be happy with the result...
@@kashmirionlinebazaar9575 yes, sometimes that is why we need to learn the proper settings of our machine, I normally use 200 and i will play with the timer...
I’m having the same issue, But I’m getting Red tone in the faces, you think I’m heating it on more heat? Should I do less heat ? I’m working on a Epson ET-3760 . A Sub paper. Help please. And thank you.
@@bosslady7490, skintone is the main problem with sublimation, please follow this tutorial, and for sure your issue will be resolve. once you finalized your settings save it and drag it in every file that you will print in the future.
the better way is to profile the printer and the ink, this method will get you a good image for only those colors that are in the test image, it will not remap colors that are out of the spectrum of the ink and printers gamut. the only thing is you need a flat substrate of the ceramic mug, mouse pad, clothing etc, that is the ONLY way to get accurate colors on each substrate....
hi Sir Rey, mas ok sir naka layer, ang ginawa ko.. naka save sya tapos nakagroup sa isang folder(layer). then everytime na magpiprint ako.. idadrag ko yung settings ko dun sa new file ko.. and see to it lang po na nka white lahat ng mask. para macover nya ung whole image mo.
yes, trial and error at first, but worth it once you get your final settings. I lessen my waste of material, and more confident now with my colors. most of us are using 3rd party ink, so you cannot rely on the Epson's color profile. so instead of wasting our time looking for the right profile, why don't we do it manually.
@@Dot360PrintingTutorial i tried using a color profile. I will get it perfect on some colors but not all. Im usually having problem with the blue we usually use for grays. Lol
@@dhiexviii, better to stick on it and play the blue in photoshop adjustment. In my case my issue is skin tone. So even if mu clients are not complaining before, i know for my self that there’s an issie and I enhance it by doing it manually as I shown in my video...
Trial and Error process talaga siya, Thank you.
Hi Grom, yes po. specially po kung converted printer ang gamit. wala talagang specific na ICC profiles.

Thanks beth, good luck..
this is the best tutorial that I have found.
hi Imminaret, thank you for your very encouraging and uplifting feedback.
I'm not sure if I missed it, but did you use an ICC profile for the ink you use?
Nope, i cant find any icc profile that works for my printer(Epson L805) that is why i did it manually...
Thank you for making this video this process was great to see, I subscribed just because you had what I was looking for

do you have color correction tutorial for l805 pigment?

What if my printer Epson 121 has no ultra gloss option?
hi ianaprecio, it is more on trial and error. you need to try all the options that you have and stick to the option that will give you a better result.
Hi, is it ideal to choose paper type as Epson matte in case if we'd want to print on a matte finish phone case?
I recommend to try different paper type first, to check which one will give you more closer color, then start playing color adjustment...
@@Dot360PrintingTutorial Thanks, really appreciate your patience and for your time!
@@rakesha8770 no prob bro...good luck...
Where do you recommend the image to get printed, like office depot?
Yes, any printshop that reliable. You can ask them if their prints are calibrated.
temp 180 c and 180 seconds?
