Sublimation ICC Profiles for Mac Users - Ventura, Sonoma, and Beyond

[@normansuchorzewski1026]

Thanks for this work around - It was driving me crazzzzzzy - now at least I can select the ICC profile I wanted.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

So glad you found it helpful!

Hi, Im following your instructions but can't find the drop down tools in preview. I'm on a Mac mini with Sonoma 14.6.1. Any advice on what Im doing wrong?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Hmm.. I'm not sure. It should be int he upper left corner?

[@elainemagee2072]

Thank you Cori. I will give it a try.🤞🏻

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

You got this!

[@durneygirl]

Hi Cori. We share the same printer. Everything I print is super blue and pink. No greens and yellows. 🙁

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Oh no! Have you tried installing one of the ICC profiles from my drive?

[@RosalindaSambayon]

i tried all that you show in here but the color still the same. I don't even have a Hippo Ink thing option. We have rhe same printer et 2850, but it's not really working.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Ugh. Unfortunately, the Epson hack is just that...a hack. There are always a handful of people it doesn't work for :(

[@StaceyRate]

Ugh...why did they do this?! Unfortunately with the ICC profile I got for the ink I use (from the company) is off. It prints way too blue and not contrasted enough, and no other ICC worked. I'm currently using an older computer with an OS that allows me to color match. I just wrote to Apple asking them to bring it back. Fingers crossed they do! I don't want to upgrade my printer, but that may be something I have to do :/

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Ughhh I'm sorry! I am so mad they took it away-there we so many of us using it!!

[@silverstonelt3040]

Hello! I have a question, could you recommend me ICC profile if I have Epson Eco tank L1250 printer, Epson sublimation ink, and I use Photoshop on Windows 10. Thank you!

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

I don't have one for that specific machine, but I usually tell people to try the Hippoo 4700 first because that one seems to work for a lot of people!

[@silverstonelt3040]

@@HeyLetsMakeStuff thank you!

[@Disco_Dave_K]

Have had no luck with these options. Our Epson ET-2800 continues to not use the proper color profile no matter what we do? Have there been any updates since this video to more work arounds? It seem, no matter what, the Epson printer refuses to change the profile "internally" ***HELP***!!!

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

How do you know it's not changing internally? Unfortunately, the Epson hack is just that...a hack. There are always a handful of people it doesn't work for :(

[@Disco_DaveK]

We assume it is something in the internal software of the printer that is blocking the profiles from printing the correct color (which is usually a faded yellow or pink instead of correct color) it also could be blocked nozzle? Is there another printer besides Sawgrass that we can purchase that is less trouble?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

@@Disco_DaveK Absolutely! The Brother SP1 is a great sublimation printer that does automatic maintenance and it's much less expensive than the Sawgrass.

thx cori!

[@kimmaclaren835]

So what happens if the suggested download bundle doesn't come up. I have a 2720 with Sonoma 14.4 and the package doesn't come up.

[@kimmaclaren835]

hmm I found the color sync and other options in system dialog box using DS for my epson printer.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

I’m not sure I quite understand your question. Not come up? where?

[@kimmaclaren835]

so what I did is I put in macOS 13 downloaded the package and installed, then went back to 14 and just did the driver update. It's a pain but I got it. Strange that epson had the package download for 13 but not 14

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

@@kimmaclaren835 Oh that's weird! I'm glad you got it!

[@blynn6240]

Ok I’m using Ventura OS 13 on a MacBook Air 2020 and my color matching option is showing in the print dialog box, so maybe this applies to someone using a different mac? I do have a different epson (XP 15000) though but I wouldn’t think that’s it?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

If you see it, then you're good to go!

[@blynn6240]

@@HeyLetsMakeStuff right I just didn’t know if it would help others to try to work through why I see it and others don’t?

Hi Cori, how do I download the ICC profile for my Mac? I've been printing fine then all of a sudden my red is coming out orange.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

This video shows you how to download it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hafQlmaYiK-rm5I&lc=UgwCzG03UtCiBLIkwLF4AaABAg

Hi Cori, i downloaded the color profile for my printer but when i go to choose from assign colorSync it is not in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Hi! Are you on a Mac or PC? What program are you using?

[@avadenerowe4874]

@@HeyLetsMakeStuff i am using a Mac and I am using preview

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

@@avadenerowe4874 Could it be that your ICC profile is being renamed? Occasionally that happens.

[@RosalindaSambayon]

same here. I couldn't find mine either. I tried everything that's in all in drop down menu but the color still the same.
