• Remove the installed cartridges at the start of every working day or every 20 hours, and shake them well before reinstalling them. • Wash the ink tubes when a message is displayed to prevent a decline in print quality due to sedimentation in the tubes. After washing, auto cleaning is performed to prevent nozzles from clogging. White ink and color inks are used to clean all of the nozzles. • When storing cartridges, lay them down flat. If cartridges are stored standing upright, you may not be able to clear the sedimentation by shaking them. • If you do not use the printer for two weeks or more, replace the White ink using the cleaning cartridge. If the printer is left without replacing the White ink, it may be impossible to unclog the print head. Note: White ink is consumed during maintenance even when printing only with color ink. Parent topic: Printer Usage Guidelines Related tasks Washing the White Ink Tubes (White Edition) Shaking and Replacing the Ink Cartridges Handling T-shirts (Media) Follow these guidelines as you handle and store printed T-shirts: • Avoid storing T-shirts in direct sunlight, or in locations that are subject to excessive heat or humidity. If T-shirts are stored in a hot place after printing, the printed surface may soften and become sticky. • Do not dry clean printed T-shirts. • Turn printed T-shirts inside out before washing and let them dry inside out. • Do not use bleach. It may cause discoloration. • Do not iron directly onto the printed surface. • Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol. • Do not rub the printed surface against vinyl, chloride-based artificial leather. The colors may transfer to the leather. • Do not rub surfaces printed with color ink against surfaces printed with White ink; the color may transfer. If this happens, use a soft cloth or brush with a small amount of household detergent to wipe away the transferred color. • If you have applied pre-treatment solution and fixed the ink, wash the T-shirt in water before wearing it to remove any remaining traces of pre-treatment solution. 22
