❏ Wash the ink tubes when a message is displayed to
prevent print quality declining due to
sedimentation in the tubes.
After washing, auto cleaning is performed to
prevent nozzles from clogging. At this time, White
ink and color inks are used to clean all of the
nozzles.

❏ When storing cartridges, lay them down flat. If
cartridges are stored standing upright, you may not
be able to clear the sedimentation even by shaking
them.
❏ If you do not use the printer for two weeks or more,
perform Replace White Ink using the separately
sold Cleaning cartridge. If the printer is left without
replacing the white ink, it may be impossible to clear
clogging in the print head.

Note:
While in White ink mode, White ink is still consumed
during maintenance even when printing with color ink
only.
Notes on Handling T-shirts
(Media)
Note the following points when handling and storing
printed T-shirts.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity. If T-shirts are stored in
a hot place after printing, the printed surface may
soften and stick.
❏ Do not use a tumble drier.
❏ Do not dry clean.
❏ Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing, and
then let it dry while inside out.
❏ Do not use bleach. It may cause discoloration.
❏ Do not iron directly on the printed surface.
❏ Do not expose to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time.
Introduction
❏ Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol.
❏ Do not rub the printed surface against vinyl
chloride based artificial leather. The colors may
transfer to the leather.
❏ Colors may transfer if you rub the surface printed
with color ink only against a surface printed with
White ink only. If this happens, use a soft cloth or
brush with a little household detergent to wipe away
the transferred color.
❏ If you have applied pre-treatment liquid and fixated
the ink, we recommend washing the T-shirt in
water before wearing it to remove the remaining
traces of pre-treatment liquid.
❏ If traces of the pre-treatment liquid are visible, try
washing in water; however, the effects depend on
the material of the T-shirt.
❏ If pre-treatment liquid is applied to a white or
light-colored T-shirt, the application side may turn
yellow. Print soon after applying the pre-treatment
liquid and wash in water. Avoid direct sunlight if
you store the T-shirt without printing.
