bencollen Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I am just starting my own direct to garmwnt printing busines and I am having a problem with affinity designer and acrorip. As you can see from the pictures the colour that affinity and acrorip shows is not the same as the print on the t-shirt. I am working in cmyk 8 with u.s. web coated (swop) v2 colour profile. I have exported as a jpeg because acrorip doesn't like .tiff or off files. I also managed to get the same colour profile on acrorip. Please help.

Staff Gabe Posted September 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi @bencollen, Welcome to the forums. Have you tried printing that jpeg on paper? Does it print OK? If so, your garment printer probably has its own profile that needs to be selected when working in Affinity. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencollen Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I will try printing onto paper tonight and see what happens. How would I find the printers profile if it has one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted September 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2018 You would find that from the printer's manual. What printer is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted September 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm just looking at the manual and it looks like acrorip works in YMCK and not CMYK. Try swapping the Y channel with C channel and see how that works. You can do this by adding a Channel Mixer Adjustment. With Cyan selected, set Cyan to 0 and Yellow to 100. With Yellow selected, set Cyan to 100 and Yellow to 0. Save the file and print it. carl123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
