Probable Cause
Is the [Highlight:] of [White Ink Settings:] too low?
Too much luster
Probable Cause
Are you using Teflon-treated peel-off sheet for
fixation?
Too fuzzy
Probable Cause
Did you touch the print media (T-shirt) just before
printing?
Does it take a long time before printing, after the
pretreatment fixation?
Is the upper iron on the heat press contaminated
during the pretreatment fixation process?
Unevenly dried during the fixation process?
Background white ink spreads out when printed with [Color+White Ink]
Probable Cause
[White/Color Alignment] misaligned?
Is the media easy to stretch when wet?
With reference to "5-6-6. Print out of highlight check pattern
>>P.121", print the highlight check pattern to check the blurring,
and select appropriate set value for [Highlight:].
For details of [Highlight:] setting procedure, refer to "5-3-4. For
Graphix Lab: White ink settings >>P.75" or "5-5-3. For other
applications: White ink settings >>P.109".
Use a silicon coated peel off sheet when curing the ink to reduce
the gloss.
Excessively touching the media (T-shirt) on the platen by trying to
flatten the media before printing could cause fuzziness. Make
sure not to touch the media surface too much after the
pretreatment is fixated.
Leaving the print media (T-shirt) after fixing the pretreatment may
cause fuzziness, because the media would absorb water. Print
the pretreatment fixated media as soon as possible.
If the upper iron is contaminated, it could roughen the print media
(T-shirt) surface by a heat press process, to cause fuzziness.
Clean the upper iron of the heat press with a cloth.
If the condition persists, try using a peel-off sheet during the
pretreatment fixation process, to probably improve the condition.
It may be solved by inserting a silicone foam between the heat
press lower iron and a print media (T-shirt) during ink fixation.
Misalignment of white and color inks can occur when the media
thickness or the platen height is changed. Adjust the platen height
first, and align the white and color inks positions by referring to
"7-4-5. White/color alignment >>P.218".
Print misalignment may occur between white and color inks when
the media stretches when wet with white ink. Increasing [Choke
Width:] can prohibit spreading of the background white ink.
For details of [Choke Width:] configuration, refer to "5-3-8. For
Graphix Lab: White ink advanced settings >>P.80" or "5-5-7. For
other applications: White ink settings >>P.114".
