T-Jet3 PLUS User’s Manual
Version 1.1 Revised July, 2008
2
The T-Jet3 PLUS prints best on 100% cotton. Printing on dark colored 50%
cotton/50% polyester blends with White ink is NOT recommended. You will notice
a discoloration of your image. Red garments will turn your Whites Pink and even
Yellow Yellow shirts will tint your image. Print only on pastels or White garments when
using White ink and blended fabrics. Images without White will not be affected.
In addition, when printing on 100% polyester or other synthetic materials, you
may not achieve the same print brightness.
The printer is ONLY compatible a Windows XP, 2000 or Vistas based Operating
System and the latest versions of both FastARTIST and FastRIP are included as
part of your kit. FastARTIST is a Windows based graphics application that will
make preparing an image for print as simple as a click of the mouse. With a one-
click Underbase Wizard and simple clipping features, FastARTIST can help ease
the transition into graphics design if you are not familiar with other applications.
For avid users of Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Illustrator etc., you may choose to work
within the application of choice and still set up the image properly for printing.
Macintosh Users can still create an image in their favorite graphics application-
they will just have to transfer it to a PC for printing.
Every image must print to FastRIP for fi nal output. FastRIP works as the Queue
and Print Manager, allowing you to not only select different Print Modes and
other attributes, but also archive print jobs for future reprints.
Maintenance
Although the T-Jet3 PLUS is “simply” an inkjet printer, the number one Technical
Support issue is a lack of maintenance of the machine. Printing on T-shirts is
not the same as printing on paper. A shirt gives off much more lint and the
amount of ink deposited on fabrics is far greater than on paper. Additionally,
when printing on dark shirts, you must apply a Pretreatment to the shirt. This
Pretreatment can get inside the printer and cause numerous problems, so we
recommend you pretreat shirts as far away as possible (i.e. in another room). If
you adhere to the required maintenance schedule, printing with the T-Jet3 PLUS
will be a joy.
Poor Artwork
With so many graphics programs readily available , everyone is an artist . Poor
quality artwork will be one of your biggest concerns because there is no magic
to transform a low resolution, low quality piece of artwork into a great looking
print for a shirt. Therefore, it is important you spend some time learning as much
as you can about graphic art programs and some of the simple methods that
can be used to improve the quality of customer supplied artwork.
