2. Preparing for Printing
Fabric
This section explains the usable fabric and precautions regarding fabric.
Usable Fabric
This machine can print on fabric having a 50 to 100% cotton blending ratio.
The print quality of T‐shirts with pockets, polo sleeves (sleeve and back side), T‐shirts for
pets, towels, handkerchiefs, bibs, etc. is not guaranteed. Use the machine at your own risk.
• As the A4 standard tray and A5 tray becomes hot when continuously used on the optional
finisher, give an interval of five minutes or longer to set them after they are pulled out.
Precautions Regarding Fabric
Loading fabric precautions
• Remove dust or lint from the print side of the fabric with a lint brush or a roller beforehand.
• Press down the fabric on the table as much as possible so that the fabric does not come off.
Also, set the fabric parallel to the table.
Fabric type precautions
Thin fabrics
• With thin fabrics, ink bleeding through them may adhere to other parts. You can avoid
this happening by placing paper on the back side.
Non‐compatible fabric
• Fabrics having a cotton blend ratio of 50% or less (the machine cannot print on quick‐drying
and dry fabrics)
• When loading or removing fabric, keep your hands or fingers clear of the tray. Otherwise,
your hands or fingers might get caught, resulting in injury.
