When a Printing Job Is Finished
After your job nishes printing, the Printer Assembly will
return to the Home position and the green button on the
User Interface will start to ash.
At this time it is safe to:
Remove your garment and cure.
•
For the Blazer PRO, extend the platen by the handle
so that the third position Shirt Board is completely
clear of the Printer Assembly.
Load your next garment(s) and resume printing.
•
Curing Your Garments
Finished prints must be heat cured to fully set the ink. For
best results pre-press the garment for a few seconds prior to printing.
This dries the garment for areas with higher humidity and attens the
bers for a cleaner and smoother print.
If using a Heat Press for curing, use light pressure and either a T
eon
cover sheet or silicone treated baking pan liner to prevent ink from
getting on the element.
If using a conveyor textile dryer, you MUST achieve these times
and temperatures. A typical short tunnel textile dryer does not have
sufcient tunnel dwell time and shirts may have to go through two or
three times. Also, refer to the literature included on the ink bottle.
If you experience scorching on certain shirt brands, reduce the
temperature and cure longer.
IMPORTANT POINT
Perform wash tests! All curing times and temperatures ARE RECOMMENDED
STARTING POINTS. It is your responsibility to nd the cure times that work best
for your location and Print Mode preferences.
