Printing Basics Introduction
OK, the time has come. You have installed the bulk ink system, you have created a simple image in
your favorite graphics program and now you are ready to ruin a few shirts. Be warned, there is a slight
learning curve to printing on fabric and you must get over the fact that some will get ruined. Remember,
it is ONLY a shirt. Even when you’ve become a seasoned pro, it’s a fact of life in the garment decorating
industry. Your printer will also need to be “broken in” a little. When you rst install the bulk ink system,
there is a chance that not all of the inks are owing yet. You won’t really know this until you have done a
print or two, or a nozzle check. Therefore, you should start off by using clean rag shirts, or just accept the
fact that you will ruin a few new shirts and buy some extras. Your rst print may NOT be a winner, but
after you have printed a few, you will feel like a professional.
This chapter will rst walk you through the basics steps of printing. Afterwards, you will learn a few extra
pointers and tips for along the way.
