 Welcome to BCH Technologies, this is Kevin. Today we're going to talk about how to make your sublimation ink have a more accurate color, brighter color, and dramatically improve the quality of your transformation. Basically, human eyes are trained to look for contrast. So when you have a whole bunch of colors going on, it will be harder for you to tell if a color is true or not. If I put a two black place here, you cannot tell which one is the real black, and every color looks impressive. However, if we put them on a similar color spectrum, which has a narrow range of colors, we can easily tell that the top place is a true black and the bottom one is not. Therefore, when we select ink, we want to have an ink that can express a wider range of colors, and make the black as dark as black, so the printouts color appear more eye-popping. BCH has a standard grayed ink, which we made it for a hobbyist or just child sublimation. And then BCH has a premium ink used by professionals as a commercial product. BCH also makes the darkest dark, a special black, just for people who want striking impressive prints. You can find the sublimation ink by going to bchtechnologies.com. When you select an ink, focus on the black first. Black is the hardest color to transfer correctly, and the special dark black is even hotter. The untransferred black element is dark brown. Under heat, different colors are transferred at different time. If the temperature or time is not sufficient, there will be untransferred black left, so the final result will be a brownish black. And make it more interesting, if you have the temperature too high or you pressed for too long, the colors will be de-sublimated, which means they transfer back to the original state. Therefore, you will end up with another brownish black as well. So you have to make it just right. Because the special dark black has more black elements, it's even harder to get the color pressed correctly. After picking the ink, you need to calibrate the monitor. You can use the default color management or color profile come with the monitor. There are many tools that allow you to calibrate the monitor. Also, check out eBay for used calibration tools. Basically, you have a digital file. Without calibration, you won't have the standard to compare to. Here we have two monitors. The top one is calibrated. You can see that there's a huge difference of calibrated and non-calibrated. The next thing you need to consider is what kind of a printer that you are going to use. If you can find a six-color printer, you will definitely choose the six-color. However, there are many people who use four-color printers. Most four-color printers are designed for office use and do not have a sophisticated color management option. Therefore, color management is more important for these four-color printers. Please watch the part two of this video and make sure you know how to manage the colors. Surprisingly, not all transfer papers a few years ago nearly all transfer papers were professionally made. Amazon had them. Consequently, sellers tried to cut down prices by sacrificing the quality. The professional paper usually curls up when we take them out of the package. This is because it is made in big rows. Also, we can test the thickness of coating by widening our fingers and touching the coating surface. For example, with a paper from Amazon, we masked a brand at the seller's name. It has almost no coating at all. Different types of coating needs to be printed on a different setting. For example, we printed an ECH transfer paper with a plan paper setting and a matte paper setting. And decided that the plan paper setting is the best. We also have a paper from a customer. When we put it on a plan paper setting, we can see a lot of details from this. This problem was corrected when we printed with a matte paper setting. Finally, we compared the result from BCH paper and the customer's paper. Also, we compared Amazon transfer paper and just regular piece of paper. You can see the deep like from the professional paper. Amazon paper is the same. Actually, regular paper actually beats Amazon paper by miles. We were able to conclude that there is no difference between this Amazon transfer paper and our plan uncoded copy paper. I hope you enjoyed this video. The next part, we're going to talk about the importance of transfer time and transfer damage and also color management. I hope you enjoyed this video.
