your prints will come out bright and vibrant. Refer to the User Manual, page 18,
for more information. Also shake the ink cartridges each day as prompted by
the printer
3. Make sure your white ink is at 1% or above when you are done printing for
the day or plan on leaving your printer idle for a few hours. The machine's vital
automated maintenance sequences require at least 1% or above in order to
complete. If you do not have replacement ink available, you can fill your printer
with cleaning fluid. Refer to Section 8.3 of your User Manual. Your printer will
prompt you when a cartridge becomes low on ink (20% for colors and 40% for
white). At this time make sure you have replacement ink available to continue
operation.
4. Perform a nozzle check daily, so you can spot and quickly address potential
issues with the printer.
5. Perform maintenance as instructed by the printer prompts and maintenance
guide - refer to chapter 8 for detailed instructions– just a quick wipe of the white
and color encoder – thorough clean of the maintenance station and jig cleaning of
the print heads. Failure to perform maintenance will eventually lead to the
autocleaning procedures that the printer uses to always be ready to print to not
clean adequately which can lead to printer damage.
6. Check the
and ColorGATE software version.

7. Always perform auto height when changing substrates that you are printing
on – If you are printing on a thick fabric like a sweat shirt and then switch to a
regular T shirt – perform auto height to ensure the fabric is the correct distance
from the print heads. Failure to do this can result in the print heads being to far
away from the fabric which can lead to sub standard prints. The overspray will
also increase and this can damage the printer as the exhaust fans are designed to
handle the overspray when the height is set correctly
