Initial Setup & Basic Operations DTG M Series Maintenance Manual
The printer will print a pattern which should resemble the picture below. Each horizontal line
represents the output from each of the nozzles. There will be an identical pattern printed directly
below this in white ink which will not be visible unless you print onto a clear sheet of film or thin
metal plate. As you can see from the picture each nozzle line is clear and horizontal with no gaps in
the staggered pattern and no two nozzle lines of the same colour being on the same horizontal line:
It is possible to perform nozzle test prints directly on to the platen surface as long as it is cleaned
off immediately afterwards. Nozzle prints done like this will allow the white output to be observed.
