 Hi, welcome to BCH Technologies. This is Kevin. Today, I'm going to show you how to set up and run you Sublimation printer from BCH. So basically you'll have a printer, a power core, and you'll have a nozzle check for the for the data we shipped a printer. So everything is tested working. And also you have information sheet for all the links that you're going to need. And they will also give you a pack of sample papers and also will give you a mouse pad for you to try it for the first time. Okay, so after you receive it, you can open up the ink tank and now slowly remove the plug. So if you are at a high altitude area, such as Denver, so your tank may be pressurized. You can have a piece of paper towel and use the paper towel to cover the plug, then remove it. All you need to remove is the small plug. Do not remove the big plug. And then now you can put this back. You can save those plugs for later on if you need to move the printer for a different location. Next thing we do is we're going to plug in the power. You can use a USB connection or you can set up the network. To set up the Wi-Fi, you press that network button here on the screen. And you're going to see the Wi-Fi setup and the Wi-Fi setup wizard. So next thing we do is we're going to install the apps and software. So we just use this link and we screw it down and only thing we need is driver and utilities. We will not need the firmware update at all. So now you can select whether you want to direct USB connection or you want to use the wireless. Culture is for this model. Sometimes you cannot pick it out from the wireless. So personally, I prefer just plugging a cable into USB. If there's a window pops up, ask you if you want auto update. You select do not auto update. I think ink is easy. When the ink come down to about this level, just open up the ink tank and unplug the big plug and then just add the ink to it and then put a big plug back and put the tank back. Right now the real ink level is how much ink level in the tank. So this ink level doesn't make sense anymore. However, it still keep going. It's going to have air pop up, say you're low on ink. So just if it says that, just ignore it. Just keep printing. Just say, okay, dismiss that window. So other than that, then you're going to have, eventually you're going to have error message said that cartridge cannot be detected. So the cartridge or cartridge is missing. That's when you actually need to reset ink level. So what you do is you do a cartridge replacement. So you go to here, maintenance and you press ink cartridge replacement and I'll ask you to press the color bottom and put your hands on the side on the top of the door. And this is the reset button. Do not take this thing out because we already configured everything. It takes a while to make everything perfect. So you don't want to touch any tubing or anything. Just press and hold down this button for a little bit, like two, three seconds and then release it. For all the third-party cartridges, Epson will throw this through this error. As I said, those are not Epson cartridge and then do you still want to use it? Then we just say, okay, okay, okay, and that's it. Now we're going to print a sample. The printer's color is managed by ICC profiles. Management. Their first level is at a printer level. The lower level is the printer and the higher level is the software. The second level is at a software level. If the software doesn't tell the printer which color. Let's take a printing from Photoshop as an example. So we open up a picture in the Photoshop and go to print and we see this screen. Here are the two sections. The top section is the printer and the lower section is the software. From the software section, Photoshop lets you pick if you want to manage the color from a printer or the software. BCH inks use Epson's generic ICC profile. So it doesn't matter if we manage it from the printer or software. However, let's configure the printer's setup option first. From the first tab, you will want to test different paper types. At least try three different settings, a plan paper, a glossy paper, and a matte. Secondly, we set the quality to be high quality and we go to more options and second thing we want to turn off is we want to turn off this high speed. This is whether the printer prints when the printer is moving back and you don't want to do that. Then you want to turn on the mirror image. I'm going to flip your image to the mirror for the transfer. Okay, here's the printer setting. Then for the color and we're going to want to go to custom color advanced. Then we turn off the color adjustment. It's okay. By the way, you don't have to turn it off because you've got the Photoshop to turn it off right here. So here it says the printer managed colors and the printer going to use this default. By the way, the BCH inks use this as default. So you can just leave it at that. Or I can say Photoshop managed colors, which is the Photoshop going to pick Epson. If you have a customized ICC profile, here's where you can pick it. Here's an example that we kept everything the same, but we changed the paper type. On the left, we select a plain paper setting. On the right, we select a glossy paper setting. The result is much better for the glossy setting. Again, the result depends on the brand and type of transfer paper. Some papers perform better in matte setting and some better in glossy setting. If you make aluminum plates like this, what you can do is I just put a plate there. You can put a plate there and put a transfer paper on it. Or I prefer the transfer paper here and then put a place on it. Then you press so you know this will be within the circle. For the fabric and thicker stuff, you have to put the fabric here. Then you put the transfer paper on it. Some printers will offer free ICC target file, free ICC service. What you do is, first thing you need to get is target file. Just paste in web browser and hit return. You're going to see this zip file and the unzip. Here's your target file. The second thing you need to do is to download the Adobe Color Print utility. You can download it from Mac or PC. You don't need to install the SAPO, you can just click and run it from the folder. The next thing to do is you're going to print this. Before you do that, you have to turn off the printer's color management, which we covered earlier. We hit print first, and this is the printer, and then we click properties. We do exactly like what we did before. We select the paper type and the quality behind. The second thing is we turn off the high speed, we turn on the mirror image. The third thing is we need to turn off the color management for the printer. So you go to custom and advanced, no color adjustment. The ICC scanner works on a flat paper side surface. So if you have a smaller object or maybe you have a irregular shape object, you have to find the same material. For example, if you make a bike plate, you may be able to find a real license plate, so you can make a transfer. So after your transfer, we'll need this piece, we'll need your transfer piece, not the original transfer paper, and you'll send this piece to us, and we're going to put it in the ICC scanner. You can send us a flat plate like this, or you can send us the fabric. You can send us a white fabric, and you can also send us anything that's flat, and however, we cannot accept things like a max, which is curved surface, or things too small to fit in the scanner. After you've made the transfer product, you're going to send it to this address. This ICC number is the ICC-plus your older ID, for example. If older from eBay, your ID will look like a E, which means eBay E and a bunch of numbers. So when you send this in, we're going to scan it, and then we email you back the ICC file. We're going to send you an email with direction how to install the ICC profile, and also the ICC profile itself. So after you install it, we'll print, and you can, in the here, you say Photoshop Manage Colors, and then you can find the profile you installed. For example, this is one profile that we made, then you select that profile, then you can print. I hope you enjoyed this video. For a local plate, I have this curve, not here. Thank you. Have a good day.
