For a more vibrant CMYK print on light garments, refer to Chapter 11 - Advanced
Printing With White and learn about FastCOLOR Pretreatment and the
pretreatment process.
IMPORTANT POINT
DO NOT leave the collar or seam exposed on top of the Shirt Board. Any
unnecessary height on the bed may hit the Print Head when printing. Load the
collar over the edge of the Shirt Board so that it is out of the way. It is also critical
that the shirt lay at. Any uctuations in the printing surface could cause the print
to be soft or out of register and/or result in a damaging Print Head strike.
Check your Print Bed height (platen to head clearance)
6.
BLAZER EXPRESS: Visually check underneath to help
you determine if the Shirt Board is set too high. You will want to
make sure that the distance between the Print Head and the Shirt
Board, with media loaded, is set to the same setting (distance)
that was used for completing the Print Head Alignment (3-5mm).
Use the Shirt Board Adjustment Knob located on the front of the
Print Bed. NOTE: Make sure that the printer is in printing
position before adjusting the height. An easy way to make sure is
to perform a Head Cleaning Cycle before adjusting the Print
Head height. Refer to Chapter 8 - Initialization Utilities -
Setting the Platen Height: Blazer EXPRESS for complete steps.
BLAZER PRO: Make sure you have the required minimum
of at least 3 mm of space between the Print Head and the
garment. This is usually only necessary when switching
between garment thicknesses. In any event, make sure that
the distance between the Print Head and the Shirt Board,
with media loaded, is set to the same setting (distance) that
was used for completing the Print Head Alignment (3-5mm).
WARNING: the Blazer PRO does not have a backup safety device to protect
the Print Head in case the platen is set too high. Refer to Chapter 8 - Initialization
Utilities - Setting the Platen Height: Blazer PRO for complete steps.
For the BLAZER PRO
7. , return the Platen to its operating position by pushing it back toward the
printer until its ends are even with the ends of the Bed Rail.
