The print is smudged
This indicates that the ink is not dry. The characteristics of the substrate may have changed. Recreate
the substrate preset.
The substrate is not flat
If the substrate does not lie flat when it comes out of the printer, but has shallow waves in it, you are
likely to see defects in the printed image, such as vertical stripes. This can happen when you use thin
substrate that becomes saturated with ink.
1.
Check that the substrate type you have loaded corresponds to the substrate type selected in the
front panel and in your software.
2.
Try changing to a thicker substrate type.
Edges of objects are rough or blurred
1.
Check that the carriage beam position is not high. If it is high, the printheads have to be aligned
manually.
2.
Align the printheads.
3.
Recreate the substrate preset.

User's guide

Colors look washed out
1.
If you are using fewer than four passes, increase the number of passes.
2.
Increase the ink density.
3.
