If you notice that the White ink is uneven, too dark, too light,
blurry, or unclear, try these solutions:
- Run a nozzle
check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then
clean the print head, if necessary.
- Align the
print head.
- To maintain
optimum print quality, remove and shake the installed White ink
cartridge at the start of every working day or every 20 hours (when
a message is displayed).
- Adjust the
density of the White ink in the Garment Creator software.
- Make sure
the pre-treatment solution is applied evenly, or the printed
results will be uneven.
- Make sure
the pre-treatment solution is not too diluted. If the pre-treatment
solution has been diluted too much, the solidity of the White ink
is weakened and the edges of the image may be blurred. Try reducing
the density of the White ink in the Garment Creator software, or
make the pre-treatment solution stronger.
- Make sure to
dry the shirt completely after pre-treatment. If the shirt is left
for an extended period, dry it for several seconds in the heat
press before printing.
- Check the
temperature and pressure of the heat press. The temperature of the
heat press decreases when you press a T-shirt that has had
pre-treatment solution applied. When pressing several T-shirts in
succession, check that the temperature of the heat press is not too
low. Whiteness becomes uneven if the pressure is insufficient since
the T-shirt does not dry completely and the fibers are not pressed
flat.
- Make sure
your White ink cartridges have not expired. For best results, use
ink cartridges before the expiration date printed on the package
(within a year of installation in the printer). Replace expired
cartridges with new ones.
- Wash the ink
tubes when a message is displayed. This cleans out any sediment
from the tubes.
- If the
under-base white shows outside the main image area, adjust the
print area of the under-base white in the Garment Creator
software.
