9.2 Basic Steps for Printing to T-Shirts

1. Turn the DTG Kiosk™ unit on

Press the POWER button to turn the unit on.

2. Put the garment into the GARMENT HOLDER.

Place the garment on the GARMENT HOLDER. Put the metal HOLDING RING around garment

and flatten out the printing surface. Any excess garment should be pushed into the space

between the top and bottom of the Garment Holder. If you are printing on a garment that

is very large or a made of a thick material like polar fleece, you can simply lay the

garment on the Garment Holder without the holding ring and push any excess material into

the space between the Garment Holder.

Put the Garment Holder in the PRINTING BED.

The Garment Holder must lay flat in the Printing bed, so ensure the garment has no

wrinkles and is flattened out to prevent problems with the printing process. If your

Garment Holder is a little shorter than the inside length of the Printing Bed, slide the

Garment Holder back into the bed and leave a small gap at the front to make removal

easier.

4. Position the garment in the PRINTING BED.

The printed garment must sit just below the top of the Printing Bed side – use the HEIGHT

CLEARANCE GUIDE for this. The Printing Bed height can be adjusted with the UP/DOWN

dial on the front of Printing Bed. Set thePrinting Bed so the garment is about 1.6mm below

the Height Clearance Guide. The printed image will appear out of focus if the garment is

set too low or the Printing Bed is not level. Always make sure before you start printing

that there are no wrinkles in the garment or seams sitting above the top of the Printing

Bed.

Please Note: The Printing Head must not hit the garment or the Garment Holding Ring. If

it lightly brushes the garment you will have to do a head cleaning before

the next print. If it touches the Garment Holder you will have to do a head

alignment. If it hits the Printing Head any harder you may have to replace

the Printing Head with a new one.

5. Move the PRINTING BED into the Unit.

Press the LOAD button to make the printing bed move into the unit.

6. Print Your Image.

Start printing your image from your chosen graphic application using the following

guidelines:

• Choose RGB mode if using Photoshop.

• Then choose the EPSON 2100/2200 printer driver.

• For the correct print placement work on a 33 x 48cm (13” x 18”) printing page for

your layout (or a size as per the measurements of your T-shirt Platen).Remember

that all inkjet printers (including the Epson 2100/2200) require a slight margin

and the metal Holding Ring also takes up some of the page size.

• Centre the image on the page, making sure the image is not any larger than 30.5

x 47cm (12” x 18.5”). To print an image larger than 30.5cm you will need to

rotate the image in your graphics program and load the shirt

sideways on the
