Nina123 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Hi could anyone please give me some advice, I am very new to Affinity Designer and also sublimation printing, after sorting out all my printer settings and installing the icc profile I thought I had cracked it, however I have just printed 2 different designs on the same page. One is printing true to colour and the other (which has pink and grey tones) are going onto the surfaces very brown ? The mug on the right was printed on the same sheet?

firstdefence Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Welcome to the forum @Nina123 What do the images look like using the SoftProof adjustment filter? https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Adjustments/adjustment_softProof.html Would be a big help to let us know what colour profile you are using, what the doc settings are re colour and maybe a few screenshots Example: Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

I am sure others will be able to help you. I would suggest changing the title of your thread to something regarding your question. Some find it confusing when it asks for "Title". This is not for your title or name but where you should briefly put in your issue so people can see and those who might have an interest or answer can look, read and hopefully help with a reply. Title could simply be "files not printing true colour" or something along those lines. Nina123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nina123 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 @firstdefence Hi, please excuse my ignorance when it comes to technology. I have tried to find the proofing tools on designer but couldn't find it. These are the print settings Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The document profile is sRGB IEC1966 2.1 and the printer profile is the ink expert icc profile for your printer. SoftProofing is a filter on the layers panel... If you add that filter you can select the ink expert profile you have used for your printer profile to see how it would look. You can also change the document profile fro sRGB IEC1966 2.1 to the ink expert colour profile from Document > Convert Format / ICCprofile Menus might look slightly different as I'm on Mac.

Nina123 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 @BofG Sorry 🙈 its that some files are coming out the wrong Colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina123 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 @BofG Excuse my lack of knowledge, but how do I know what colour format the file is, I know how to change the document set up and didn't realise they had to match but not sure on the other bit. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina123 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 @BofG So basically the document settings should match that of the picture you're working with? I'm so confused right now, not that that takes much atm and I'm a teacher, god help the kids haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 Apologies for the delayed response here @Nina123! Were you able to resolve this issue by changing your Colour Space / Profile as BofG suggested?
