Remove any slack or creases from the printing
surface and make it flat.

Important:
The printer detects the highest part of the print
surface and adjusts the height. If there are any
creases or slack remaining as shown in the
illustration below, the distance between the
print head and the print surface may increase
and print quality may decline. Flatten the
T-shirt so that there are no creases or sagging.
Use the grip pad tool supplied to flatten the
printing surface. The T-shirt sticks to the grip on
the platen keeping it flat and preventing it from
moving during printing.
Basic Printing
Press the T-shirt lightly with the grip pad tool and
move it vertically and horizontally from the
edges as shown in the following illustration.
Repeat this step 2 to 3 times to remove any slack
or creases and make the printing surface flat.
When loading a T-shirt coated with
pre-treatment liquid, or when the grip pad tool
gets caught due to the characteristics of the
fabric, use the grip pad tool with a release sheet
such as silicon paper on the T-shirt as shown in
the figure.
Note:
When the grip pad tool becomes dirty, make sure
you wipe it with a damp cloth.
