We have duplicated mistakes purposely so that you can compare with our results! Nozzle Check problems If the color of your image is off. For example, if your image has a red tint, or other color tints, there’s a high chance that it is because your nozzles are not firing properly in your sublimation printer.At the beginning of the day, I always print a nozzle check before I start any jobs as this will ensure that all nozzles are firing. We suggest daily nozzle checks to prevent virtually all clogs.Fixing this problem is very simple. If your nozzle check isn’t perfect, just clean your nozzle head through your OEM printer driver or through the power driver that you downloaded. And then, perform another nozzle check. Sometimes it may require more than one head clean to clear the clog. Printing on the wrong side of the paper You may be printing on the wrong side of the paper. As stated above, the coated side of the sublimation paper is brighter than the uncoated side. So be sure to print on the brighter sideIf you are printing on the wrong side of the paper, you will get the same result as when you use plain paper. Check to make sure you are using sublimation paper. Sublimation requires special sublimation paper for the sublimation inks to release properly when heated. It is easy to mix up sublimation paper with normal paper as they are both white and feel very similar to one another. Most standard sublimation papers are only coated on one side (however there are some that are coated on both sides). You can compare the two sides of the paper to tell sublimation paper and plain paper apart. The coated side is usually brighter than the uncoated side. With plain papers, both sides will be the same brightness.
