Before you start this section you will need to download the Xpres Subli-Print colour profile from the Xpres website.

The address is

www.xpres.co.uk/technical.php You can also find the profile on the Subli-Print CD supplied with the bulk

feed system. This disk can also be sent out upon request.

Close CorelDRAW. When you have downloaded the 'Subli_Print_D88_V1.icm' colour profile, right click on it and

choose 'Install Profile' from the top of the menu. Note: The profile will install automatically and will not give any feedback.

Also on some systems you will not be able to see the 'Install Profile' option. If this is the case change the .ICM extension

to .ICC then re-try.

Start CorelDRAW and click on Window > Colour Palettes. Tick the 'Default RGB palette'. Repeat the process then

un-tick 'Default CMYK palette'. Now click on Tools > Colour Management. You will now see the colour management

dialogue box appear as in diagram 1below.

Note: For CorelDRAW X3 users

click on 'RGB (used in versions

previous to CorelDRAW X3', under

the 'Colour mode used for effects'

section at the bottom.

First, all the (Orange/Grey) arrows need to be set as shown above. To change the colour of the

arrows (Orange colour switched on, Gray colour switched off). To turn the arrows on or off just click

on the arrow itself.

Configure Import-Export Settings: Click on the image of the paper to bring up the window shown

below (diagram 2). This window configures how CorelDRAW handles files that are imported to a

document.

Composite Printer: Select the Subli_Print_D88_V1 printer profile. Note: if you cant choose the

Subli_Print_D88_V1 from the drop down menu means the ICC profile is not yet installed on your

pc or you may not have restarted Corel since the ICC installation. Close and re-launch Corel.

Click Import: Always covert Using- Select Internal RGB Fraser

(1998) from the drop down menu.

Click Export: Always embed using- Select Internal RGB Fraser

Monitor: Select the ICC profile for your monitor (If you also have Adobe Photoshop on your system

you can select the profile you created in Adobe Gamma). You may also check out the website of your

profile use the 'Generic Profile' instead.

Internal RGB Space: Select Internal RGB Fraser (1998)

Save your settings: Click the + button and name your settings Subli-Print then Click OK.

CorelDRAW's colour management is now setup. You can now work with your images as normal.

When you have your image ready on screen, click file > print. You will now see the print dialogue

box below (diagram 1).

The Epson D88 properties will now show (diagram 2). Ensure the Subli-Print setting is highlighted.

Instructions

Turn on the printer and press the ‘ink’

button. When the printhead has moved to

the cartridge removal position unplug the

mains cable from the printer.

This allows the printhead to be manually

moved.

Remove any cartridges from the machine.

Remove all the small bungs from the bot-

tles. (do not throw these away as you will

need these for re-filling the bottles)

Using the long needle attachment on the

10 ml syringe draw any ink out of the

centre chamber (through the small hole).

Repeat this on each colour then fit the air

filters supplied.

Place the bottles to the left of the printer

as shown.

NEVER PLACE THE BOTTLES

HIGHER THAN THIS

(If the bottles are placed higher then the

ink may siphon into the bottom of the

printer.)

Make sure there are no twists in the

tubing.

Feed the cartridges through the opening in

the printhead lid. (If you have previously

removed this lid already do not worry as it

is not necessary for the operation of the

system).

Push the cartridges down firmly until they

snap into position. Close the printhead lid

making sure not to trap the tubing.

Remove the tape from the sticky pad and

firmly press the tube support into place as

shown Make sure the tubing is not

twisted..

Plug the printer back into the mains

supply and the printhead will move back

and forth then perform it’s initial ink

charge.

Remove the backing tape from the black

clamp on the tubes and fit it to the printer

housing as shown.

During this ink charge you should see the

ink flowing through the tubes near the

connectors.

The air you may see in the tubes is not signifi-

cant and will not affect the operation of the

system in any way.

After the ink charge print out a nozzle check to see if all the colours are printing

correctly. If they are, you are set to go. If not perform a head clean and test the

nozzle check again. You should see an improvement on the next nozzle check.

If still not perfect you can perform one or two more head cleans (do not overdo

this exercise) until you get a good nozzle check.

Occasionally a printer will stubbornly refuse to print a perfect nozzle check af-

ter a couple of head cleans. There can be a number of reasons for this including

the fitting of a dye sublimation system for the first time or a printer being left

for a long time without running any prints.

One way of curing this is to force the printer into a ‘power clean’. To do this

you will need to send a good size image to the printer (use an 8” x 10” [20cm x

25cm]) and when about a quarter of the image has printed, press (and hold

down) the ink button on your printer (Shown on page 2).

After you have held this button down for 5 or more seconds the printer will

pause printing (eject the paper), perform a head clean and then carry on printing

where it left off (it is not necessary to waste transfer paper on this exercise).

You may have to hold this button down again 1-2 more times during the print –

you should be able to see if the banding is disappearing. If you have had to

press the button for the 3rd time the printer will now perform a ‘power clean’.

Print a nozzle check immediately after this. If this nozzle check is good, you are

set to go. If there are still problems with it leave the printer to settle for at least

half an hour before printing out another nozzle check.

If there has still been no improvement you can carry out this ‘power clean’ ex-

ercise one more time including the half an hour settling time afterwards.
