Epson Stylus C62 and Sublimation ink problem!

I have a new Epson Stylus C86 printer to print Sublimation ink for printing
on mugs. Printer model name: EPSON Stylus C86
Computer Type: PC,Operating System: Windows 98, Interface: USB (Universal
Serial Bus) The problem is when I print out an image for the mug the blue
color in the image comes out dark purple, I have contacted Epson support and
they are helping a little but they tell me they do not support any other ink
in their printers. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I did the head
cleaning then the print nozzle check pattern and it was OK and there was no
gaps in the lines.
Thanks for any help!

You need to get an ICC profile from the ink manufacturer.

Thank you Mark,
I will call the ink manufacturer and ask for the ICC profile, what will I
need to then?

OK, I know that answer to that now :-) they are going to send me a CD to
install a new driver.
Thanks for your help, you are great!

Exactly Pete. It's so gratifying to find that I am not the only one who
finds this ignorant use of 'your' when 'you're' is what is meant. 'Your' is
a possessive adjective - for Hades sake people! To use it in any other way
shows ignorance and lack of education.

Mebbe some varmints'd be of mo'e he'p on a group lookin' fo' English lessons
then they'd be on a group lookin' fo' he'p wif their printer. LOL!

I have downloaded and installed the new ICC profile from the ink
manufacturer and printed again with no improvement. I have used PSP7 and MS
Paint with both programs giving the same results. I need more help! Thanks

You need to contact the dye-sub ink company and ask if they provide
printer profiles for their inks. Printer driver profiles are designed
for specific inks and papers (or in your case surfaces you are printing to).

They all differ. Epson cannot design the necessary profiles for every
ink and paper type, so either you get one made professionally and pay a
fee for it, or, if you are lucky, someone else has made one and will
provide you with it (the ink company, or another user).

I will tell you that blues are one of the biggest problems in inkjet
printing, in fact, in most color printing.
