Before Printing
To maintain good print quality, perform the following
inspection before starting printing operations each day.
Check the amount of ink remaining:
Check the amount of ink remaining on the screen, and
replace the ink supply unit with a new one when the
remaining ink is below the limit. When ink is running
low, we recommend replacing the ink supply unit as
soon as possible.
If an ink supply unit runs out while printing, you can
continue printing after replacing it. However, if the ink
supply unit is replaced during a print job, the tone of the
print results may differ depending on the drying
conditions.

Checking for clogged nozzles
Before you start printing, we recommend confirming
that the nozzles are not clogged. If the nozzles are
clogged, do a
Head Cleaning .
By clearing any clogged nozzles in advance, you can
reduce the risk of printing with clogged nozzles or
having to stop printing to handle clogged nozzles.

Shaking White Ink
Shake the ink supply unit when the message about
shaking is displayed on the screen.
White ink may sediment (components settling to the
bottom of the liquid) easier than other ink due to the ink
characteristics. Sedimentation may cause print quality
to decline and nozzles to become clogged.

Pre-treatment
Apply pre-treatment liquid to the T-shirt when printing
using White ink on cotton T-shirts, or when printing on
polyester T-shirts. Applying pre-treatment liquid
improves the color development for the ink.
When only printing with color ink on a cotton T-shirt,
we recommend that you do not perform pre-processing
as printed fabric can become too delicate for washing
and rubbing.
Prepare a roller or sprayer to apply the liquid to the
T-shirts.
U
“Preparation” on page 36
Perform pre-processing in the following order.
Agitating pre-treatment liquid (polyester
pre-treatment liquid only)
Opening the pre-treatment liquid
Diluting the pre-treatment liquid
Applying the pre-treatment liquid
Fixing the pre-treatment liquid
Cautions when operating
Note the following cautions when performing
pre-treatment operations. Read the safety data sheet
before operating. You can download the safety data
sheet from the Epson Web site.
