This is something that i need to figure out, when printing out black logos or text on my Ricoh SG3110 printer with Sawgrass sublimation ink it seem like the print on the paper is a little bit brown, also when cooking the mug it does not really matter what time have, 150sec or 300 sec, its still brown, 180 and 250sec is still the same, so i wonder what could be wrong here.
I had the exact same problem, exact point to point, and I tried everything absolutely everything you described here. And when I got a breakthrough when I bought a good quality fast drying sublimation paper, after just changing the paper I was able to produce only black images logos etc on same settings as you described in the beginning. Settings are always the same, paper is the problem.
which paper?
@@modernwize I realy don't know, I buy it by peace, like 100 at a time, no box no label nothing but this supplier was wonderful explaining all how paper is important. I just know that this is high quality and very fast drying sublimation paper. I was abke to produce Matrix mug with full color lime green on pure black background if was beautiful.
Did you manage to sort it? I'm trying to print a t shirt but it's printing brown
I have the same problem.....did you ever sort it
Hi, Thanks for the video and the comments helped me to sort it out. Im using a epson L800 Model. And as @Ryan Slocombe mentioned in the earlier comments. Try changing the paper from glossy paper to MATT PAPER in the printer section. It works...

my keep coming out Brown to. I do 200c and 180s as I print it out coming out Brown to I got a epson 2010w can you help me thanks
Having a similar issue where black prints on my mugs give me ghosting where any other light color is fine. Its got to be something with the ink/paper. I've tried every single press alterations and times and same results.
I am also having this problem when it comes to sublimating on metal inserts 😑 cant get the black
I have the same problem. I just am researching this problem now and found this video and read all of your comments. It seems this is a common problem. Researching further, I found a video by Jared from Heat Press Nation. He recommends Neena Jetcol DHS paper for sublimating black images on coffee mugs and TexPrint XPHR paper for other substrates when using heavy black images. I have not tried resolution this yet.
So I'm on my second day of trying to print black text on it. First 3 came out light brown. I did a cleaning routine on my printer and it came out navy blue. So I don't know it that's an issue and maybe the sublimation paper with it. I am using good quality sub paper but it still comes out the wrong color
I changed from glossy paper to Matt paper in the printer section for any black text and that sorted it for me.
Hi Ryan, Thanks man.. You saved a lot of money for me..
Ryan Slocombe does this work ...I'll try it for mine :)
i did try this but didnt work for me

@@sophielouise2176 I figured it out, basically black ink is sensitive to heat and gets burnt when the temperature is kept high and more time is given. You have to set ur machine with trial and error. In my mug press the pressure was too much so even when i was not giving it to much temperature black colour was still coming as brown. I lowered the pressure and adjusted the heat settings and time and now its coming fine. There was a little miss print in a mug at the bottom which tells me that i should increase the pressure a little more.
So I've been experimenting today. I have a few orders that are with a solid black background. I've been failing lots but I have had some success now. I use a convection oven. I definitely see a relation to inconsistent heat. So I've been turning the mugs and tumblers more often and that seems to do the trick. So far so good anyway
I have the same problem with Chemink and epson printer. Blacks are printing brownish when there's more than 70% black on the image.
175C is optimal for ricoh gel inks. I use 260sec and is working great
Whats settings do you have on your printing when printing ?
I am using Epson L805 printer and using matt paper
same issue here 😫 this video and coments where helpful

imho its the mugs, i had no issues till i ranout of mugs and bought some from another supplier, and bam brown from the first mug, its the coating.
+lez briddon Ok, so then i need to call Subliblanks and tell them that their mugs are useless.
you might need to clean your nozzles on the printer
i am facing this problem and waisted 8 mugs, how did you cure from this problem? if you have please help me.
did you solve this prob, i also have the same problem, using l130
I'm having the same problem. But I don't think it's anything to do with the temp or time. It seems more of an issue with printing. I can't use powerdriver as my Mac doesn't support it. I've tried with different icc profiles, but always get the same result.
+thelaird1 Yes i tried out alot of things to, seem like i can't get this working properly, Mac does not seem to be totally optimal for mug sublimation ink and paper
Black coming out brown is over cooked. Never raise the temp. If my settings of 150 sec at 180 deg C don't work, try 150 sec at 150 Deg C. You said that the blacks don't look black when printed out. Can you confirm that you have the powerriver software is correctly installed and selected when you are printing?
+Martin Butler I have now installed the power driver to my mac, i am using pixelmator, its similar to Photoshop, i have no idea how to make the adjustments so they match the same as they should be in Photoshop etc, i was using the basic driver for the printer, so i dont know if i am using the power driver now or not.. :S
Hi Sir. I'm using SG400 and having the same problem. Can you please share the solution of this problem please..
Don't know if this would help, but I have the same printer and thought I was doing something wrong also, I had a sublimation printout from a sublimation site and it said to press the mug using medium pressure and for 6 minutes. Everytime I did that the finished product would almost look sepia-tone...the blacks looked almost brown. I then cut the time back to 3 minutes....and that seemed to fix the problem.
I was also having the same problem untill i changed my paper to a really good quality paper.... Now it resulted 100% fine
Hello there, what paper are you using now and where can i get it? Thanks
@@aljomanu company name "s race"
I'm having the same issue 😢
also could you do a review on you Galaxy heat press I am co sidering buying their latest 40x50cm model abd wondered if it was a good brand press abs if it is worth the £900 plus price tag
RGB ou CYMK?
i had that problem and it was all because of the ink it was damaged , i put a new set of ink from a different supplier al lcolors turn out good now even the black no more browns
Hello, what supplier did you get your ink from?
I just figured this out today, ITS MY PAPER! - i googled and googled, all the answers would be TIME, TEMP, PRESSURE, print settings, profiles etc, nothing worked. I have a3 paper which works (the A4 i was using same printer same settings, in the press together) - one paper came out black the other Brown. I spent hours and hours thinking i was doing it wrong. Only now that I am searching my sublimation paper is turning my blacks to brown am i finding any info on it. the colours are working ok so i had no idea what was going on. the paper was was from a proper sublimation supplies store so I am pretty disappointed to say the least.
What is the name of the paper? I have a brand called A sub 125g using an epson 2800 . All colors work fine except the black
@@fyou7305 it was 'permasub' paper I had issues with getting browns. I was recommended "A-sub 125" at 204 degrees Celsius for 65sec for Acrylic (the substrate i was having the most significant issues with) and have had much better results and really nice blacks on my converted epson eco tank 8550.
I also have same problem i tried 190c for 360 second as told by my supplier
So did you get good results?
After a year. Same time and temp. Black letters are coming out brown.
exactly same problem here, I'm supposing the ink is expired.
