Clean the nozzle row for the White ink.
After storing for an extended period or after switching
to White ink, the density of White ink may become
weaker. Try running head cleaning for the nozzle row
for White ink using the Execute (Heavy) level. If this
still does not improve the results, contact the Epson
Support.
Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
o
Is the print head misaligned?
The print head normally prints bi-directionally. Lines
may appear misaligned due to the misalignment of
the print head in bi-directional printing. Try Head
Alignment when vertical lines are misaligned.
U “Correcting the print misalignment” on page 82
If lines are misaligned even after performing Head
Alignment, try setting Print Direction to
Uni-Direction (Low Speed) in the printer's Garment
Creator software. To print a job from a USB memory
stick that has already been set to Bi-Direction (High
Speed), change to Uni-Directional on the preview
screen.
