shirt holder. It is possible to print up to 31.75cm (12.5”) without using the
Holding Ring.
• After selecting the Epson 2100/2200 driver in your graphics program, choose the
appropriate Configuration - Print Mode in the Advanced window Custom
Setting.
• If using Mac OSX bring the Presets menu down and select Custom settings.
• For critical photorealistic images choose the Photo setting.
• For simple spot color or cartoon type graphics choose the Cartoon setting.
• For more detailed prints choose 720 (dpi).
• Settings with an HS are for High Speed. High Speed mode and 360dpi mode is
faster but but the Printing Head must have good alignment and the nozzles must
not be clogged.
• Set the paper size to the measurements of your T-Shirt Platen (33 x 48cm or 13”
x 18” as a guide).
• For brighter prints, particularly on cotton/polyester blends and 100% polyester,
double print the image by pressing the Load button and printing from the
application a second time.
• For higher production you can set the number of “pages” to print from the
application to a higher quantity and simply press the Load button again when the
image has finished printing. DTG Kiosk™ will automatically re-start without
having to re-send the job from the graphics program. Ignore any out of paper
errors you may get when printing multiple “pages.”
7. After Printing Has Finished.
After DTG Kiosk™ has finished printing, the Printing Bed will automatically eject from the
unit.
8. Remove the GARMENT HOLDER.
Remove the Garment Holder by slipping your finger in the gap at the front of the metal
hooping ring and pull the front of the garment holder out of the bed. Carefully remove the
holding ring and remove the garment from the holder. Some holders are about 1” (2.5cm)
shorter than the bed making it easy to stick your finger into the gap and bringing the
Garment Holder out.
9. Checking PRINT QUALITY
Print quality is an extremely important component of the printing process. You can check
the print quality by doing a Nozzle Check from the Maintenance menu of the Epson
2100/2200 driver (more information in the Maintenance section of this manual). Be aware
that you will need to do a Head Cleaning:
• if any streaking appears in the print
• if small drops of ink get on the garment during a printing cycle
• if the unit has been sitting for a few days
• if the printing head brushes the garment
To have DTG Kiosk™ go through a head cleaning process, press the Ink button for three
seconds. Severe head clogging may require you to do several head cleanings one after the
other. You can perform a head cleaning while the unit is printing a job by simply holding
down the Ink button for three seconds. You may have to clear lint from the bottom of the
Print Head if you have printed a large quantity of garments with the setting so high that
the printing head has brushed against the garments.
