If you are NOT using your printer on a regular basis, the ink may partially dry within the Print Head,
causing a clog.
Solution 1: We have found the best solution to this issue is to turn your printer ON everyday, even
if you don’t intend to print anything. When the printer is turned ON, it primes the Print Head during
startup. This process is sufcient to prevent head clogs if done regularly. You DO NOT have to do a
Head Cleaning unless you want to. After your printer has gone through its startup procedures, turn it
OFF to ensure the Print Head seats within the Capping Station.
Solution 2: Use the Auto Head Clean Function. This function allows the printer to perform a Head
Cleaning Cycle automatically. Refer to Chapter 14 - Tips and Utilities to Maximize Print Quality for
directions
Solution 3: Purchase a second Bulk Ink System and reserve it for HD Cleaning uid. Switch the Ink
System out at the end of the shift (week) and run 2-3 Power Cleaning Cycles to clear the ink out of the
lines and Print Head. At the beginning of the next shift, swap the ink system back and run 1 - 2 Power
Cleaning Cycles to get the ink owing again for production.
Solution 4: Refer to Chapter 14 - Tips and Utilities to Maximize Print Quality for instructions on
preparing your T-Jet for Downtime.
21. Vector Images Print Wrong Colors
When printing vector graphics, the printed colors do not match the previews in my graphics application.
Cause:
FastRIP
•
is a bitmap based image processor.
When rasterizing a vector image, FastRIP
TM
must convert vector graphics into bitmapped graphics.
The translation of color proles are not always exact, resulting in a difference in output.
Prevention: For consistent color reproduction, save your image as a high quality JPEG and send this
image to the RIP for printing.
22. The Shirt Board is Far from Being Level
If a Shirt Board is too far from being level and the screws at the bottom of the Shirt Board cannot be
adjusted to make up the difference try using a shim underneath the X part of the Shirt Board. This can
correct any problems in the leveling procedure. NOTE: If you use shims on a particular corner and need
to switch to another Shirt Board, mark down where you put the shims so that when the next time you need
to use that particular Shirt Board, you may not have to re-measure.
