- Page 7 Turn on the printer and press the ‘ink’ button. When the printhead has moved to the cartridge removal position unplug the mains cable from the printer. This allows the printhead to be manually moved. Remove any cartridges from the machine. Remove all the small bungs from the bot- tles.
- Page 8 Place the bottles to the left of the printer as shown. NEVER PLACE THE BOTTLES HIGHER THAN THIS (If the bottles are placed higher then the ink may siphon into the bottom of the printer.) Make sure there are no twists in the tubing.
- Page 9 Remove the backing tape from the black clamp on the tubes and fit it to the printer housing as shown. Plug the printer back into the mains supply and the printhead will move back and forth then perform it’s initial ink charge.
- Page 10 After the ink charge print out a nozzle check to see if all the colours are printing correctly. If they are, you are set to go. If not perform a head clean and test the nozzle check again. You should see an improvement on the next nozzle check. If still not perfect you can perform one or two more head cleans (do not overdo this...
- Page 11 Re-filling the bottles Remove the air filter and replace it with the small rubber bung (that you did not throw away). Remove the large rubber bung. This prevents the centre chamber filling up with ink. (6 colour set shown here) Fill the chamber through the large opening.

This will prevent the printer working (colours completely missing on nozzle checks).

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'.
- Page 14 Ensure that you have a perfect nozzle check pattern as in diagram 1 below. Diagram 1 Important: After inserting the Subli-Print inks into the Epson D88, leave the printer for at least an hour before use to allow the inks to settle.

In this section we will introduce you to the tools in CorelDRAW and what they do and also take you through the most common tasks you will need to complete in CorelDRAW.
- Page 16 CorelDRAW's most common tools The Pick Tool This is the main tool that you will use in CorelDRAW, it is used for manipulating anything onscreen in the main window and also for selecting and using any of the other tools, holding the left mouse button and dragging a box will select anything within the area that you drag over, clicking an object onscreen with a single left mouse button click will select individual objects.
- Page 17 Common CorelDRAW tasks continued Sizing images There are many ways to resize an object in CorelDRAW. You can click and drag the selection handles around the object by using the pick tool. Object Object Scale position size factor on page You change the dimensions of an object proportionally by preserving its aspect ratio.
