• When storing cartridges, lay them down flat. If you store cartridges standing upright, pigments may settle and reduce print quality. • If you do not use the printer for more than two weeks, print a nozzle check. Alternately, you can also replace the White ink with cleaning cartridges (Maintenance > Replace White Ink). If the printer is left without replacing the White ink, the print head nozzles may become clogged. Note: White ink is consumed during maintenance even when printing only with color ink.

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. • To maintain the best quality, printed T-shirts should be air dried. Tumble dryers may reduce image quality over time. • 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 or 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. 23
