Hi all,
just starting to expand into Sub using a DK 16X20 heat press and a 1400 Epsom printer. I loaded the driver for the printer and setup the bulk ink system (Artainium UV ) and also loaded the ICC profile. I use Adobe CS and Corel 12 and X3. I have saved the ICC profile under the printing preferences but was wondering , in Corel should I set the color management to something? it is now set to (management Off ) , also could someone give me an idea of the time and heat to use on a 12x12 Chinese ceramic ( polymer coated ) tile?

Many Thanks
Tom

You will need to have the ICC profile installed within Corel in order to print the colors you want. Instead of using "color management off" as you would for the laser you will have an option called "Artainium" for example which will have different setting than any of the other color options.

Try this or Google dye sub.

Thanks Mike,
I have installed the ICC profile to my print driver as a default but I guess from what you say I should also go to the Color management in Corel and select the Artainium or ICC profile option ?

Thanks

There are several settings you need to make besides just identifying the ICC profile. Check with your ink supplier for the correct settings.
