XP and Vista. Also driver release versions can appear different to the above.

The previous settings are ideal for printing/transferring onto hard substrates such as

Ceramics, Metal, all Hardboard, etc. For softer substrates, the driver can be setup to print faster

using a lower resolution setting.

To add this setting, go through Steps 1-5. For step 6, select

the settings below.

When using the lower resolution settings for softer

substrates, you may need to increase the color density

when printing solid filled images. To do this, click on the

Paper Config button on theAdvanced screen and increase

the Color Density to around 20% and click on OK.

To save this setting follow steps 8-10.

Note: You don’t have to use Subli-Print as the name for this setting; you can use any name that will work for your process.

*** Note - Be sure to use a different Name for this setting

so that you don’t over write the previous options.***

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/tech_support/downloads 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_4450_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.

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_4450_V1 printer profile. Note: if you cant choose the

Subli_Print_4450_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.

in the left hand bay only.

1. Turn the printer on by pressing the power button. After a short time 'NO INK CRTG'

appears on the LCD.

2. Open the ink compartment covers and raise the blue ink levers.

for best results.

The genuine Epson inks supplied with the printer are not required, please store these

with your printers documentation for future use.

Insert the cartridge into the slots using the configuration above, or the ink assignment

guide below. Incorrect installation of cartridge could damage the printer.

5. After inserting all ink cartridges in their corresponding slot, lower the ink levers.

Working with templates

In this section you will learn how to open a sublimation template, import an image and use the power clip tool to fit the

image to the template. For this exercise we will use the 9cm² square coaster.

If you have had an installation by an Xpres engineer, you will find the templates in a folder on your desktop called 'Xpres'.

Otherwise you can either download these from the Technical Support section of our website

www.xpres.co.uk/tech_support/downloads

You can also find these on the Xpres Technical CD, and Subli-Print CD.

Click File > New From Template (diagram 1), click on the 'Browse' tab then point it towards where your Sublimation

templates are stored. Select the 'Coaster square.cdt' then click OK.

You will now see six square coaster templates open as in diagram 2. For this exercise we will work with one only.

Click on one of the coaster templates and hit the delete button on the keyboard. Repeat this process until you are

left with one. Click and drag the template to the centre of the page (diagram 3).

Import your image by clicking on File > Import. Select your image from the browse window and click the import button.

You will now see you image as in diagram 4. Click on the corner selection handles to down size the image slightly larger

than the template, as in diagram 5below.

Click on Effects > Power clip > Place inside container. You will now see a large black arrow appear, click on the edge or

inside to power clip the object to the template. You will now see the image appear inside (fitted) to the template as in

diagram 6.

Working with templates continued

If your image does not fit the power clip correctly first time, right

click on the image and choose 'Edit Contents' from the drop down

menu (diagram 1). You can also click on Effects > Power Clip >

Edit Contents. Drag the image (you will see the image and the

template on the screen) until you have it in the right place. You can

even re-size the object in the 'Edit' state. When you are happy with

the image placement, right click and choose 'Finish Editing This

Level', from the drop down menu. You can also access this by

clicking on Effects > Power Clip > Finish Editing This Level.

Diagram 1

Your image is now ready to print. Refer to page 4on

printing with the .ICC colour profile.

All Xpres Sublimation templates are slightly larger than the actual substrate. You can leave the border of the template

visible as this helps to line up the substrate before taping it onto the transfer paper (use XP6006 Heat Tape to secure

the substrate to the transfer paper).

The only template you cannot leave the border on is the mug template as this will show up when printed.

To duplicate your image once fitted to the template refer to page 10 on duplicating objects

XP4072a (A4) & XP4073a (A3) XP4047 (A3+) is used for all hard surface and fabric substrates.

Print onto the bright white side only.
