Is there any lint or standing fibers on the print
o
surface?
Lint or standing fibers on the print surface may stick to
the print head and stain other areas of the T-shirt.
Remove any lint with the sticky tape or roller and press
the fibers flat with a hard roller when you load a T-shirt
on the platen.
"Loading on the Platen" on page 33
U
Clean around the print head.

If the printing surface and so on is dirty even after
performing cap cleaning, fibers, such as lint, may have
accumulated around the print head nozzles. Clean
around the print head.
"Cleaning around the print head" on page 63
U
Not enough or uneven whiteness
Are the print head nozzles clogged?
o
If the nozzles are clogged, nozzles do not fire ink and
the print quality declines. Print a nozzle check pattern.
"Checking for clogged nozzles" on page 44
U
Have you shaken White ink cartridges?
o
Because the ink particles in White ink can sediment
easily, it needs to be shaken at the start of every
working day or every 20 hours (when a message is
displayed). Remove the cartridge and shake it.
"Replacing and Shaking Cartridges" on page 58
U
Have you applied the pre-treatment liquid
o
evenly?
If the pre-treatment liquid is not applied evenly, the
printed result will be uneven. Refer to the instructions
and apply the pre-treatment liquid evenly.
"Using Pre-treatment Liquid" on page 26
U
Have you dried the T-shirt completely after
o
pre-treatment?
If the T-shirt is in the following condition, whiteness
may decline.
❏
Insufficient heat press process
❏
Moisture has accumulated because the T-shirt
was left for an extended period of time
Dry the T-shirt completely after the pre-treatment
referring to the fixation conditions. If the T-shirt is left
for an extended period, dry it for several seconds in
the heat press before printing.

Problem Solver
Have you optimized the temperature and
o
pressure of the heat press?
The temperature of the heat press decreases when
you press a T-shirt that has had pre-treatment liquid
applied. When pressing several T-shirts one after
another, check that the temperature of the heat press
is not lower than required. Also, the whiteness
becomes uneven if the pressure is insufficient since
the T-shirt does not dry completely and the fibers are
not pressed flat. Make sure you optimize the pressure
of the heat press.

displayed. Prepare the following consumables when
washing the tubes.

Adjust the print area of the under-base white

area of the under-base white from the printer's
Garment Creator software or the RIP software.
