When printing a large volume run, clean the Encoder Strip often to prevent communication errors •
from ruining shirts during a printing cycle.
15. White Underbase Box Over Entire Image
When you print a White Underbase you get a White box over the entire image.
Cause:
Check your Underbase setup within FastARTIST.
Within FastARTIST
go to File > FastRIP Setup >
Underbase Setup tab.
Solution 1: Make sure the top checkbox that says
Underbase All Items with this Underbase Color is checked.
Make sure the bottom check box that says Highlight All
Objects with This Color is NOT checked.
Solution 2: Make sure to view the image in FastRIP’s View
Raw Data window to see if it looks correct BEFORE
printing.
Please note: If you choose a 1440 DPI White Print Mode
you will not have the View Raw Data option.
16. Poor Print Quality When Printing Bitmaps
The quality of the printed output is unacceptable when printing bitmap images. The images seem
soft and are not clean and sharp.
Cause:
The resolution of the image is too low.
Resolution at 72 DPI is for viewing the image on a computer monitor only. Images intended for printing
need to be between 150 and 300 DPI to maintain a clean and sharp image. You can try upsampling the
image to a larger resolution, but the image will still be “soft” when printed.
17. Print Head Moves, But Doesn’t Print
When sending a print command, the Print Head moves like it is printing but no ink is dispensed
Causes:
Ink is not owing from the Bulk System.
•
Make sure that the breather hole in the cap of each ink cartridge has not become clogged or closed.
The cartridges need to breathe as ink ows through the lines. Refer to Chapter 11- Advanced
Printing With White for proper steps.
The Capping Station is Clogged.
•
The Capping Station may need cleaning. If the Print Head did not seat properly, ALL of the nozzles
could be clogged.
