Troubleshooting
Probable Cause
Remedy
Reference
Does it take a long time before
printing, after the pretreatment
fixation?
Leaving the print media (T-shirt) after fixing the
pretreatment may cause fuzziness, because the
media would absorb water. Print the
pretreatment fixated media as soon as possible.
-
Is the upper iron on the heat
press contaminated during the
pretreatment fixation process?
If the upper iron is contaminated, it could
roughen the print media (T-shirt) surface by a
heat press process, to cause fuzziness. Clean
the upper iron of the heat press with a cloth.
If the condition persists, try using a peel-off
sheet during the pretreatment fixation process,
to probably improve the condition.
-
Unevenly dried during the
fixation process?
It may be solved by inserting a silicone foam
between the heat press lower iron and a print
media (T-shirt) during ink fixation.
-
Background white ink spreads out when printed with [Color+White Ink]
Probable Cause
Remedy
Reference
[White/Color Alignment]
misaligned?
Misalignment of white and color inks can occur
when the media thickness or the platen height is
changed. Adjust the platen height first for the
actual media to be printed, and align the white
and color inks positions.
"3-6-6. White/color alignment
>>P.3-29"
Is the media easy to stretch
when wet?
Print misalignment may occur between white
and color inks when the media stretches when
wet with white ink. Increasing [Choke Width:]
can prohibit spreading of the background white
ink.

Printed surface cracks after fixation
Probable Cause
Remedy
Reference
Isn't the print surface folded
before fixation is completed?
Try not to touch the print surface until the
fixation process is completed.
-
The lower left side area of the printer's main unit is soiled with ink
Probable Cause
Remedy
Reference
Is the waste ink tube dismounted
from the maintenance unit?
For help, please contact your dealer.
-
Is the waste ink tube clogged
causing the waste ink to flow
reversely?
Straighten the waste ink tube to remove the
clog.
