Remove any ink spots with a standard Spot Removal Gun before the print is heat cured. It

is almost impossible to remove spots, stains or smudges once the ink has been heat cured.

Be careful NOT to spray the wet print with the Spot remover or you will remove some of

your image.

11. HEAT CURE Your Finished Print

The final step is to heat cure your finished prints to completely set the ink. All prints

should be cured through a conveyor dryer at 325 degrees F (163 c) for 30 to 45 seconds

or with a heat transfer press set at 325 degrees F for 35 seconds. To check the

temperature of your heat drying unit use an infrared head gun. If using a conveyor dryer,

run the belt speed very slow and make sure the garment lays flat on the belt. If using a

heat transfer press, set the pressure to fairly hard. You can bring the heat element down

directly onto the print or you can place a piece of paper or a Teflon pad over the print.

You may have to use trial and error to perfect the curing process to ensure maximum

binding of the ink pigments to the garment, without any heat damage to the garment.

12. WASHING Garments

Garments printed with the DTG Kiosk™ can be laundered as normal. It is a good idea to

give your customer the following washing instructions:

Turn the garment inside out before washing and drying,

use cold water only and a medium dryer temperature.

9.3 Cancelling a Print Job

 Has one of the ink bottles run out of ink? – a red ink light will be flashing

 Is there a problem with the file you are printing from?

It may be best to cancel the print job and start again. As with any inkjet printer, it is

sometimes difficult to stop a print job with the DTG Kiosk once you have set it in motion. The

following may help you if you need to cancel a print job:

 Cancelling a Print Job in Windows

When you send a print command from your graphics application, the Epson driver works for a

few seconds and then sends the job to the Windows Print Manager. While the print job is in the

Windows Print Manager you will find it difficult, if not impossible, to stop the print job. Try the

following:

 Open the Windows Print Manager by double-clicking on the small printer icon in the

Task Bar on the bottom right of your computer screen.

 When the Windows Print Manager opens it will show you the status of any print jobs

you have sent to the printer.

 Although the Print Manager may show that a job is printing, it may not actually be

printing. It may show that the printer is out of ink, or turned off. It is best to cancel
