Grainy or Unclear Printout
If your printouts are grainy or unclear, try these solutions:
• Clean the suction cap.
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Align the print head.
• Clean the surface of the T-shirt. Remove any lint with sticky tape or a lint roller, and press the fibers
flat with a hard roller when you load a T-shirt on the platen.
• You may need to increase the image resolution or print at a smaller size (optimum image resolution is
360 dpi); see your software documentation for instructions.
• For colored prints on white T-shirts, try using Ink Blot Reduction mode in the Garment Creator
software. (This mode is not applicable when White ink is used.)

White Ink Quality Is Poor
If you notice that the White ink is uneven, too dark, too light, blurry, or unclear, try these solutions:
• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if
necessary.
• Align the print head.
• To maintain optimum print quality, remove and shake the installed White ink cartridge at the start of
every working day or every 20 hours (or when a message is displayed).
• Adjust the density of the White ink in the Garment Creator software.
• Make sure the pre-treatment solution is applied evenly or the printed results will be uneven.
