Discussion, tips, pictures, reviews and peer to peer support for current and future owners of Belquette manufactured machines, including the MOD-1 DTG machine and the Flexi-Jet set series of printers.
I just purchased the printer jockey from printerjockey.com and I have to say this is great program! I just got my Flexi-Jet up and running over the weekend and I am trying to get a maintenance routine down and having this software seems to be saving ink by just directing channel flushes to the problem color/line. I like the fact that you can slowly progress the amount of ink you lay down depending on the nozzle check.
I know there are some other useful features in the software but I have yet to try them out. I really think all the Direct to Garment Manufacturers that use epson printers should include this to people who purchase their printer.
Here is some links to videos on how to use the Printer Jockey software - YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.. Hope it helps you learn the power of the software faster. Some new improvements are coming soon as well that you will be able to upgrade for free.
Mark,
Unless I missed it, is there a way to perform a nozzle check directly from the printer jockey and if not is this something that may be added in the future?

Has anyone here been using this software?
Hi Dan,
Thanks for your support!
The capability to do nozzle-checks and standard nozzle cleans are absolutely going to be in upcoming versions of PrinterJockey. Also upcoming are "scheduled mini-flush" and "preview print file" features. The scheduled-miniflush simply prints a small job every so often (you set up the schedule) to keep the head in use. This is not very handy for d.t.g. machines as you have to be present to push the "go" button (except on the flexi, you can just leave it "on line"). The "preview print files" is actually a "reverse-RIP" in that it takes the ESC/P2 code (Epson native language) and turns it back into a viewable bitmap so you can display it or even use it in another document. The latter will take longer as it is much more involved. As always, current owners of PrinterJockey can just download the latest version for free. I try to improve the program as often as my schedule permits. If you have requests or ideas to improve it, don't hesitate to use the feedback page (C-Horse Software, Inc.)
