I certainly needed a refresher. Thanks! One thing not noted, when printing with Photoshop/Illustrator (and any other software with the option), is to choose the proper rendering intent for an image. Sometimes perceptual is ok, sometimes relative is better. This is something I've only found mentioned for photo editing, but is important or any printing through Photoshop and Illustrator.

[@jennyvanfossen5994]

I finally got around to setting up my Epson 2720 a week or so ago for sublimation and struggled to find the right ICC profile. I was using A-Sub paper and HIIPPO ink. I tried several profiles, including the one that was supposed to be specifically for mine, but they just weren’t right. Reds were too pink, black was too green, and colors just weren’t vibrant. After going back and re-watching your videos, I eventually landed on one for the Epson 4700. I had to adjust my press time longer to get my blacks to turn out not green. But the thing that finally got me where I needed to be was to calibrate the monitor on my macbook. That made all the difference!!!

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

YES! The monitor is a thing that people don't know about! I'm glad you got it figured out!!

That's so frustrating! You can start by using this form to request an ICC from Printer's Jack, and then maybe see if you can have a conversation with them about getting that color right: printers-jack.com/pages/icc-newsletter-subscription You can also test other ICC profiles (even if they aren't for your printer or ink) or you can do some of the manual color corrections I mention in the video. Finally and worst-case scenario, you can drain the ink and try a different brand. I don't have a video for that but they do exist here on KZbin. Hope that helps!

Hi I really appreciate your video. I have just purchased a printer Epson ecotank ET2826, and I work with a Mac, could you please help me get started, with what inks to buy, and how I get a ICC? I purchased some ink from the ink experts, but sadly had to cancel the order, due to they don’t offer a ICC for macs. My head hurts with so much information. I really thought it would be as easy as just putting your ink in the printer, and then if you go, sadly this is not the case. I really don’t want to purchase a windows computer, as I love my iMac. Thank you in advance, I have everything crossed that you can help me. ❤❤❤

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

How new is your Mac? The current operating system doesn't allow for ICC profiles (as far as I can tell), but older versions do as shown in my video. You may not even need an ICC profile. Some of the newer inks on Amazon (like Printer's Jack) say they are "ICC-free" but I haven't tested them. You can always try and adjust your color manually, too, without a profile!

Hi! Thanks for this. I just wanted to ask if I can use it for my epson L3210? Thank you

I followed instructions to add the ICC for my Hippo ink for my Epson ET 2800 on my Mac. I see it in the profiel but when I go to print from Photoshop 2023 I do not have the option for the printer profile. of Hipo that I added. I show everthing else in there..... Like the HDTV that should be right above the Hippoo ICC. Any suggestions?

[@tlcbritt]

I am going to reply to myself since I think I found the answer and it may help someone else using a Mac and Photo shop..... Here is the advice found: double click the file in the Finder and that will open the Colorsync Utility. Click on 1: 'desc' to see the name tag There you can check the name. Sometimes the "internal" (displayed in Photoshop) name differs to the filename that you see in the finder. From there I went back and sure enough my file name displayed in photoshop was not Hipoo but ET 2800 which was confusing me. Hope this helps someone else.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Thanks for this! I've been traveling and slow to respond to comments. I was going to mention that sometimes it's renamed in the list, which can be frustrating!

[@LovinJustin]

Okay…but where did she download the epson hippo ICC profile from?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Angie? She got hers from Hiipoo when they were still being helpful.

[@eviem70]

I am very confused. I just literally received my ET2800 this morning - I’m a total beginner. I thought I can convert the colors and that was it. My sister is an advanced user and she told me she’s never done this. Not sure what to do 😔 I don’t have photoshop, just LR. Btw, I’m on windows pc

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

You only need an ICC profile or manual color correction if your colors don’t look good after you’ve pressed. So do some printing and pressing and see what your colors look like before trying to do some color correction!

[@K.G-u6r]

Hi there! Where do I find new ICC profiles? Looking for Hippoo ink, a sub paper, and Epson ET2800. I’m having issues on color with a big order (150 cups😬). How much do you think different blanks and paper make a difference with color?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

I am not sure about new ICC profiles but I have a bunch linked in the google drive in the description of this video. You can try any of them, even if they don't match your particular model. I don't think paper matters much, but i do think the blank can make a big difference!

[@mgb426]

Hi, I downloaded a icc for my ET 2850 and added it to my color management profile for my printer (in my PC), made it my default profile.. that part went perfectly. But whenever i go to print and choose my printer & then preferences, i just get the layout and paper quality.. nothing fancy.. even when I press advanced, I just get the MS IPP class driver advnaced doc settings where it just paper size, color (color, gray, monochrome) and high or normal printing. I can't add the ICC or get to all the other fancy choices. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? its like the same options as if the profile was not there .. i tried printing thru Adobe and MS paint.. all open up the same print dialog box that is very generic and not specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Your video was very helpful :D

[@realtalkree1605]

Hey, I have a mac and from your tutorial I can just print (from preview) and use the icc profile? I've downloaded it all correctly and from preview print settings it's showing the icc profile as available, however I thought I had to have photoshop? please let me know if this is the case or I can just proceed as is.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

It should work if you're able to choose the profile! That being said...ICC profiles are notoriously annoying and sometimes don't work despite doing everything right!

[@annedeppeler354]

I have a converted Epson et15000, sub ink is StarCraft. My gray colors always come out purple when subbing. Is there an ICC profile that can help with this? I'm at my wits end. I've tried numerous different settings and nothing seems to work. My normal settings are: Premium presentation matt, highest quality, color adobe rgb 2.2 gamma, bidirectional off, mirror on. I tried lowering magenta, upping blue and many more configurations. Nothing seems to work, it's making me not want to sublimate anymore. The program that I create in is Canva. Please help!

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

That's really frustrating! Could you somehow make sure the gray parts of your design are black ink only when you are designing? I don't think that's possible in Canva, but it might be in other design software. Unfortunately, any time you hack a printer there's a chance you won't be able to get it to work. You can try any of the ICC Profiles in my drive (linked below the video) to see if they help.

[@annedeppeler354]

@@HeyLetsMakeStuff I tried just using blk/grayscale and that printed with a bluish cast. I would have questioned my printer being off but my friend also has a converted 15000, different ink and the same thing happened.

[@aliceharmon728]

Sublimation is a hobby for me. I don't intend to sell anything. At 70 and retired I don't want the hassle of dealing with taxes and setting up a company and on and on. Thought I would have to purchase/become a member of Photoshop to use the ICC. Not in my budget. I did see the as you put it a "convoluted" way to set it up on my PC and could still use the ICC. Hiipoo has one for my printer, yay! My question is this: I see you deleted the ICC that came with the printer and selected the downloaded one as default. I am in the process of testing several settings that I have seen on KZbin, but I don't want to delete the ICC that came with the printer just yet because so far, I am favoring not using even the Adobe RGB. Can I leave the settings that came with the printer just in case I like it better? Not ready to completely jump off the cliff without the safety net. So basically, do I have I to delete the printer's ICC before I can use the ICC from Hiipoo?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

You don't have to delete! You should be able to select which color profile you would like to print with before you go to print.

[@aliceharmon728]

Thank You!

[@kimtinnirello212]

I have a Dell laptop. Can I use ICC profiles?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Yes, you should be able to!

[@mommabear76]

I'm using epson g3060 (pixma) we converted it. Black is coming out orange.. paper setting?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

The G3060 is a Canon printer, not an Epson. As far as I understand, the Canon printers use a heated ink technology which is incompatible with sublimation ink. I believe the Epson EcoTank and Epson Workforce printers are the only printers suitable for converting with sublimation ink.

[@ashleybowerman2810]

I’ve added the Hiippo ICC profile to the Color Sync profiles library but when I go to choose if from the drop down in Photoshop I can’t find it. Why?! Help please.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

It is possible the name changed (it does occasionally) so look for something that looks vaguely Chinese. If that doesn't work, another question -- are you on a Mac?

[@DragonRider520]

I started sublimation with the Epson Ecotank ET-2800 few months ago. I got an order for a teal logo, and I noticed that my teals are printing blue. I spent days trying to fix the problem and couldn't fix it, so I thought the printer was broken or something. So I bought a new printer, still the exact same problem. I took a look at the color wheel, and it seems like all the blues are printing a shade darker, and all the greens are printing with too much blue..I tried the ICC mentioned in this video.. The outcome looks strange. It just look like its lighter, so the teal are just printing in light blue.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Did you try more than one ICC profile?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

You can check my Google Drive (linked below the video) but if I don't have your profile, you can try others. The 4700 profile tends to work for a lot of folks.

[@KirstyGallagher-o8h]

I dont have half the settings its showing here for windows :( i dont have the premium matte paper option, mirror image option, my color correction only says epson vivid, i think my whole thing is possibly not set up correctly at all. i installed the ICC provided by ink experts but my colours are defo off

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Did you install the Epson drivers directly from Epson? You may want to try reinstalling them.

[@danawilliams777]

Help me please! I have downloaded the ICC file for my printer, ink and paper and still cannot get yellows or greens. My yellow line from the top of your sublimation printer test sheet is varying degrees of pink. The jellybeans (balloons?) are purple, magenta and white, the skin tones are pink, the cactus are blue on a pink background and I'm wasting paper and ink (and material) like I'm a mad woman! I've uninstalled and reinstalled my presets AND my printer. I love sublimation but hate my results. Any suggestions for what else to try???

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Sounds like you may have some pink ink in your yellow line? Not really sure! I might try to completely flush the lines and start over.

Which icc profile would be best for Epson et2850 and hiipoo ink ?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

There's no "best" when it comes to converted printers. I swear, every printer is different. I'd start with the 4700 and see if that works-if not, keep trying others until you find one that is good!

Not sure if they have a profile. You can check the Google drive and see if one of the ones there works. You may need to test a bit to find the one that works best with your inks.

i just clicked on a link you had for printers jack to get the color profile and they said that their ink dont work with my model of printer. I have the epson et 2720. Im not sure what to do but im trying to get a neon green color. Any more tips?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Neon colors are so hard with sublimation ink! To print actual neon from most CMYK printers is nearly impossible-it's usually what's called a "spot" color, which is when the ink is actually that color, not a mixture of the CMYK colors. You can try other ICC profiles in your printer to try and get closer. I have found the one for the ET-4700 in particular works for a lot of folks.

[@rachelleboltinghouse3516]

Thanks so much for the reply i will try that out next!
