Like any Hi-Tech electronic device, your inkjet printer does NOT like being in
a hot or cold shop or a garage without proper air-conditioning controls. If
left unattended for days or weeks in a hot dry environment, the Print Head
WILL clog. Consult Chapter 10forinstructionsoninstallingrellablecleaning
cartridges if you anticipate not using your machine for an extended period.

Dryer you will be using to cure the ink. If you have two or three printers set up as
a production work station, arrange them around or near the heat source.
At night, and when the printer is not in use, cover the machine to protect it from
airborne dust and debris.
Important Point
When using White ink, you must apply a Pretreatment
to the shirts before printing. DO NOT spray this
Pretreatment near your Fast T-Jet Blazer Express.
Pretreat shirts in a different room, if possible but at
a minimum, make a cardboard enclosure for use
during applications. The Pretreatment is sticky and
can ruin the Print Head as well as damage the
Encoder Strip. The Encoder Strip is a thin piece of
clear plastic with data that is read by the Print Head
as the unit operates. The Encoder Strip tells the Print
Head exactly where to print an image. If the Encoder
Strip becomes dirty or damaged, the printer will get
confused, resulting in the printing of multiple images,
strips of solid ink and other irregular printing patterns.
