Checking for clogged nozzles
Before you start printing, we recommend confirming
that the nozzles are not clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, do a Head Cleaning.
By clearing any clogged nozzles in advance, you can
reduce the risk of printing with clogged nozzles or
having to stop printing to handle clogged nozzles.

Shaking White Ink
Shake the ink supply unit when the message about
shaking is displayed on the screen.
White ink may sediment (components settling to the
bottom of the liquid) easier than other ink due to
the ink characteristics. Sedimentation may cause print
quality to decline and nozzles to become clogged.

Pre-treatment

Apply pre-treatment liquid to the T-shirt when
printing using White ink on cotton T-shirts, or when
printing on polyester T-shirts. Applying pre-treatment
liquid improves the color development for the ink.
When only printing with color ink on a cotton
T-shirt, we recommend that you do not perform
pre-processing as printed fabric can become too
delicate for washing and rubbing.
Prepare a roller or sprayer to apply the liquid to the
T-shirts.
"Preparation" on page 38
Perform pre-processing in the following order.
Agitating pre-treatment liquid (polyester
pre-treatment liquid only)
Opening the pre-treatment liquid
Filtering the cotton pre-treatment liquid (only
when coagulation occurs)
Diluting the pre-treatment liquid
Applying the pre-treatment liquid
Fixing the pre-treatment liquid
