Before doing a major production run, always do wash tests and verify your

dryer temperature. For Heat Presses, the most accurate method of checking

the temperature is with Paper Thermometer heat tapes available from all

screen print supply companies. Infrared ray guns do NOT always give accurate

readings on heat presses. For conveyor dryers, use Paper Thermometers or

temperature “donut” probes available from screen print supply companies.

liner. The slick surface may not allow the ink to adhere properly.

Some shirts might show a slight discoloration if you use a Heat Press to cure

the print. (This is most often seen in Red and medium to dark colors other than

Black.) This discoloration will usually go away when the shirt cools or when the

shirt is washed.

Preventative Maintenance

You must perform a Head Cleaning if

you experience one of the following

conditions: If streaks appear in the

print, small drops of ink get on the

garment during a printing cycle, if

the unit has been setting for a few

days or if the Print Head strikes a

garment. Press the RIGHT arrow

button for three seconds to have the

Fast T-Jet Blazer Express initiate a Head Cleaning cycle. You may do this in the

middle of a print job if necessary.

The best way to check print quality is to do a Nozzle

Check.

If you have been printing a lot of shirts or if some

of these shirts have come in contact with the Print

Head, you may have to manually wipe the bottom

of the Head to remove cotton lint. Also recheck the

Platen height settings to avoid a reoccurrence of this

problem.
