Print Head Alignment
A gap between the print head and the T-shirt may cause ink misalignment that produces grainy or blurry
printouts. This occurs due to the environmental temperature and humidity, inertial force of the print head
movements, direction of the print head movement, and thickness and texture of the media. Ink
misalignment can also occur if the platen feed varies for some reason.
To correct this problem, perform the following procedures from the printer's control panel as necessary:
Note: Before performing any adjustments, make sure the nozzles are not clogged and clean the print
head, if necessary.
• Standard (when printouts contain vertical lines or faint text)
• Micro Adjust (to fine-tune adjustments after head alignment)
Note: If you are using the medium grooved platen or the sleeve platen, or when the print surface of the
media is not flat, perform Micro Adjust before a Standard adjustment.
