Before
printing, carefully load a T-shirt on the platen.
Note: For
information about loading sleeve or medium-grooved platens, see the
manual supplied with the platen.
- If the
platen is not in the forward position, press the
moveable base button to move the
platen forward. - Remove
the platen frame.
- Load the
T-shirt so that the shoulders are facing the front of the printer,
as shown.
- Smooth
out the print surface so that it is flat.
- Replace
the platen frame.
Note: There may be lint on the T-shirt if you have not applied pre-treatment solution. If not removed, lint and fibers may stick to the print head and cause platen height errors or lead to poor print quality. Remove any lint using sticky tape or a lint roller, and press the fibers flat using a hard roller.
- Smooth
out any creases.
- Gently
pull the edges of the T-shirt outside of the frame to remove any
slack.
Note: The printer detects the highest part of the garment surface and adjusts the height accordingly. If there are any wrinkles, creases or slack near the inside edge of the frame, a platen height error may occur or print quality may decline. Stretch the T-shirt to remove the slack, however, do not stretch the T-shirt so much that the printed image will be distorted.
- Tuck the
T-shirt in around the frame so that it does not drape over the
movable base.
