G
Pull the T-shirt outside of the frame to remove
any creases and slack.
c
Important:
The printer detects the highest part of the
print surface and adjusts the height. If there
are any creases or slack near the inside edge of
the frame as shown in the diagram below, the
distance between the print head and the print
surface may increase and print quality may
decline. Stretch the T-shirt so that there are no
creases or slack. However, if the T-shirt is
stretched too much it will reduce the print
quality by deforming the image.
Note:
Using the platen frame to place the print surface
under a suitable amount of tension can reduce
swelling of the print surface while printing.
H
Press down the frame of the platen so that it does
not become loose.
Basic Printing
I
Tuck in the T-shirt around the frame so that it
does not drape over the movable base.
If the height sensor reacts while
printing
If pre-treatment liquid is not completely dry, under
certain printing conditions or with some T-shirt
materials, the print surface may swell due to the
absorbed ink and the height sensor may react in the
middle of printing. If this happens, try placing the
T-shirt over the platen as shown in the following
illustration.
If the sensor is triggered even if the T-shirt is loaded as
shown in the illustration above, removing the frame and
smoothing out the creases and slack may improve the
problem.
Note that the following steps are necessary if you
remove the frame.
❏ Make adjustments so that the white under-base
print does not extend outside the image by reducing
the width of the White ink in the printer's Garment
Creator software or the RIP software.
❏ Be careful not to touch the T-shirt while printing as
it can easily move out of position.
