Default Holy cow! Happy with my Anajet after reading the mixed reviews

This thread was starting to bum me out, having a brand new Anajet in the box waiting to get started. WOW! I have taken a 2 week learning time on this machine and it ROCKS! I've tweaked my pretreatment method, no problems! I've printed on shorts, shirts, towels...no problems and awesome washability! My biggest problem was pretweaking my images too much before printing based on what people were saying here! MISTAKE! I suppose some peeps may have gotten bunk machines, but honestly, I dont see how this version could have the problems people are talking about. I went to Anajet training and without a doubt maintenance is the key. If you don't maintain the machine properly it will not operate the way it is supposed to. You cant blame the product if you do not follow the directions....duh! I will post some pics soon hopefully, but got orders to fill!
T!

Simple!

Some folks have nothing better to do than bash companies. Sometimes we listen, but mostly it is the same bloggers that never stop. It does not help anyone. Just makes for a lot of nonsense and distraction if you have no business.
AnaJet is here for you now and as you grow your business.

This thread is about T-Jet, don't get bummed out. We have had an AnaJet for 6 or more months, no problems. John

I just ordered my Anajet.

The people have been great to deal with.

I am sure the machine will perform great.

What sold me on the machine was I went to the Atlantic city show. I gave the guy a thumb drive and without tweaking it he printed the image on a black shirt and a white shirt.

It looked awesome.

I am looking forward to making some $$$ with mine.

I've had my Anajet for about two weeks and am still learning. It does a great job and I am satisfied. My only problem is color management. I'm using Corel X3 and can't get the colors to print right. Can anyone offer advice on print window settings and Color Management settings? Thanks!

I would start with making sure your monitor is accurate. If you have a color printer you trust, print a sample and compare to your screen.

I did that and have a great comp. I think I need to adjust the setting in Corel, but I'm not sure of the best way.

Make sure you are using RGB pallet(not CMYK or spot). Color management is difficult in Corel, so I'll usually print out of photoshop or EK. There are a few color shifts that you may become aware of... and face it, CMYK does have it's limitations, but if you print a color chart like DAguide has on his site (anajetusers.com) or make your own.... you can pick and choose colors that you know are part of the gamut you have available. It's just a matter of knowing your nozzel check is good, and choosing from available colors.

I'll try printing in Photoshop. Thanks for the advice.

I agree ledpenny, That's what we do everytime. Once you get the hang of the ink settings in eukon, it smooth sailing! Sorry I haven't posted much lately, been busy filling orders!!!!$$$

Is it better to print from Eukon rather than Adobe Illustrator?
