Problem:

After printing an image, the color looks great, but after curing, the print looks

dull.

Causes:

The temperature is set too high on the Heat Press•

Test the temperature using a “touch-less” infrared thermometer or heat

testing strips. If the temperature is too hot, it could scorch the shirts and ink.

There is too much pressure being applied to the shirt during curing•

When curing your shirts, make sure you do not apply too much

pressure. You should apply a medium to heavy amount of pressure.

The wrong type of paper was used•

MakesurethepaperthatisusedforcuringiseitheraTeonpadorsilicone

treated paper.

Prevention:

Get to know your Heat Press or dryer- every make and model has its own

“personality.” Frequently test the output temperature to ensure it actually

matches your desired settings. (Refer to Chapter 6 for curing times and details.)

Problem:

off for subsequent images.

Causes:

You are using a • Page Size greater than the maximum printable area.

Make sure you are using the pre-made templates within FastARTIST.

You have pressed the • Green buttons on the UI prior to sending a Print

command in FastARTIST or another graphics application.

You must click on Print in BEFORE pressing the Green print buttons on the UI.

Solution:

You must do a complete shutdown and reboot of your Fast T-Jet Blazer Express

2X to clear the error. Turn OFF your printer completely. Reboot and allow it to

perform and complete a Start-up Cycle. Completely shut down the printer a

second time. After it has completed another Start-up Cycle, the error will be

cleared.
