The colors in my transferred image are incorrect

ƒThe image may need color adjustment. Use PowerDriver color matching software. For more information on how to use this software, please see the section entitled PowerDriverSupra 1800 XG8 User’s Guide.

ƒEnsure you used the right printer driver and driver settings. Please see the section entitled PowerDriverSupra 1800 XG8 User’s Guide.

ƒEnsure you pressed the item with the proper time, temperature, and pressure. For guidelines see the section entitled Heat Transfer Instructions.

ƒVerify all colors print correctly. Run the Nozzle Check utility and clean the print heads as required.

My printout is really light on paper

SubliJet IQ ink naturally looks muted before the heat transferring of the image. After transferring is complete, SubliJet’s unique inks will produce a brilliant and durable final product.

My printout gets cut off on the bottom or side

ƒVerify the printer driver is setup for the correct paper size. Your printer driver setting needs to match the paper size that is loaded in your printer.

ƒEnsure the right paper guide is in the proper position. When setting up the printer, slide the right paper guide to the left until it clicks into position.

My image looks good but it washes out

ƒEnsure you pressed the garment with the proper time, temperature, and pressure. If so, try pressing longer to ensure that the dyes are penetrating the fibers sufficiently. For guidelines, see the section entitled Heat Transfer Instructions.

ƒEnsure you used a recommended paper. See the section entitled Selecting Paper.

ƒEnsure your substrate is designed to accept sublimation transfers. Garments made from natural fibers, such as cotton, are not compatible with the sublimation process.
