 Welcome to BCH Technologies. This is Kevin. Today we're going to do a sublimation on 2750. We have another video that will show you how to set a printer up. Step one is to remove the shipping block. Step two is to remove the small plug. Then we'll turn the printer on. It will say the cartridge not recognized. So you press OK and then open up the printer lid and hold at the bottom for three seconds. Click the start. You do a couple of head cleanings so you can remove the air bubble from the tube and make sure the tube is solid. Keep running the head cleaning until all the lines are solid and until you get a perfect nozzle check. Here's how you do it from the control panel. You'll go to setup and then you'll scroll down maintenance and you can do the cleaning and after that do a do another check. Is it too fast? Actually a slower version, a more detailed version is here and it's in the over previous video. Let me post the link here. To refill, just swing open the tank, remove the large plug and just squirt a ink in. That's all the basics. Now let's do the sublimation. So before we start let's talk about the color management. So those colors are managed with a file called ICC? There are lots of ink companies that give you the ICC file. However, it doesn't make sense for most people. The reason is the ICC may make sense for regular printing industry but for the sublimation, ICC can depend on what kind of printer you use, what kind of ink you use and then what type of transfer paper you use and then what type of material such as a mouse pad or different kinds of fabric. Even with fabric, let's say polyester, we've got three different polyesters from Johan fabric. It also depends on the temperature you're going to transfer and depends on the pressure you're going to transfer. So for each thing change, you need to make a new ICC profile. So basically it doesn't make sense for to make a generic ICC profile. When you use absence OEM color management management, that is pretty close to the true color. However, if you in the industry that you need the color be absolutely precise, we also have ICC profile service. To use this service, you have to narrow down what kind of transfer you're using. You need to narrow down what is your paper and what's the pressure, what's the temperature, how long the transfer is, what's the material. So you need a single ICC file for every kind of combination you have. So we're going to use absence ICC and then figure out the transfer temperature. Here we already decided what kind of fabric we're going to use and we also decided what kind of transfer paper we're going to use. Now we just vary the temperature and time. One thing you can do is you can print the CMYK swatches and don't pay attention to other colors except black. The black is the last color to transfer. Before the black transfer the face, black is brownish. You can see it's pretty brown. Actually let me show you the ultra black ink we make. This is the super black we make. You can see how brown it is. The darker it is, the better quality of the ink, the more brown it is. However, because it's the last last color to transfer, if you do not give enough time or enough temperature, guess what? You're going to have a brownish black. Okay, so that therefore you need to increase the time and temperature to make it black. However, if you do too much, what happened is they called D sublimation, which is the black color gets transferred back to the untransfer stage because you cook it too long. So then you're going to see a brown again. So we started with 390 degrees, only five seconds. You can see it's really brown, so it didn't transfer enough. If you have five seconds, no matter if 390 or 400, they're all pretty brownish. And also let me show you the overcooked that D sublimated. You can see if I cook 10 minutes, add a 390, and even get a browner. That's because the black is transferred back. There's optimal temperature for the black. So if you get a black right, the other two colors, they're correct. They should be correct. And you can see 400, I'm more happy with this black than this black. And then if you compare all three, you can see this are more black, a little bit more black than this one, than this one. And then my final pick are those two. Do not copy down the numbers because it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense for your fabric or your machine. You have to do it yourself. You have to make this chart and pick yours. Okay, now we're going to take the regular paper out and putting a sublimation transfer paper. Those you can buy from Amazon or eBay. And one side is coated. Another side is not coated. So we're going to print on the coated side. And then if you go with what a material recommendation, the material material I got is they recommended 325F. Again, it's pretty close to my study, 335, so 325, 75 seconds, 75 seconds. So you need to do your own work. You need to print at least three different settings of this paper you got. And do a whole bunch of comparison and tests for the temperature to decide what's the best for you. Some transfer paper is better when printed paper setting. Some are better at setting at the photo glossy setting. And for the one we used, it's better to set at the mid setting. So when you have different setting, the printer might ask you to confirm that's the paper setting you're going to use to print. So now I loaded the paper in. Remember the paper will be turned around and the print like this. So the uncoated side is up. You might notice this is different from Dr. CS. It doesn't have all the tube tiny anywhere. We pretty much designed this for submission. We print a lot and we also do not want to spend time unclogging. So we made some modifications upon the traditional CS. We designed a two-stage filter and also a bubble remover and pressure regulator. And what you see in a small box actually is a pressure regulator that can remove the bubbles, make sure that you have a smooth printing. Okay, we already did our homework. I don't know if you can see it backwards. For the mouse pad, we're going to do 385 degree at 60 seconds. So I turn the press on and we're going to do 385. Before the first press, what you want to do is you want to lower your clamp, just heat up the bottom. Just let it run on empty so the bottom plate can be heated up. So your first product will not look so different from the rest of the product. Oh, if you do lots of sublimation, make sure you get one of those silicone gloves. And one thing, another thing is you may want to understand what's a rich black, what is regular black. So regular black has a little bit brownish. You can see we put our logo as rich black. I hope you enjoyed this video. Visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or locally at Greensboro, North Carolina. That's perfect black. Cheers.
