For 15 years we have been printing T-shirts. We started with an old
Seiko, then graduated to the Epson 1160 then added an 1280. These inks
were dye based, now we are using the Epson R1800 which uses a pigmented
ink. We are finding a color shift when these new pigmented inks are
heated. Will the Spyder2Pro allow me to calibrate my monitor to these
individual machines.
Monitors are not calibrated to individual machines, they are calibrated to industry standards, then the individual machines are profiled as well, and in ICC workflow is possible from the calibrated monitors to the profiled printers. So yes, you need to calibrate your monitors, but the real issue for you is profiling your prints, after heating, on the final material.
