I am new to this forum, but I have a lot of little issues with my T-Jet. First of all my blue ink is always leaking into the white ink. Anytime I print the underbase blue ink will print out with the white towards the beginning of the design and then slowly stop towards the end of the print. I have raised the inks, lowered them, raised just the whites, then the other way around nothing works. Also my reds in my images always either print out too orangey or pinkish, never a normal red. My whites are never bright enough either. Please help!!!

Hi!

If colour leaks into the white it depends on to much coloured ink in bottles and to little white.

1. Fill up CMYK more than 50% full but NOT over the 75% full level.
2. Do the same with white ink and the white level will be 8-10mm above the CMYK-levels.
This will avoid blue and red leaking into the white. (White ink must always be higher than the CMYK levels).

To get a bright white you must have a perfect Nozzle-check and a great pretreatment-method.
There are several info on this and UsScreen forums that will tell you how to do. Just search on pretreat.

Red turns into pink can be caused by many things but most common is using highlight white on the image or to much underbase.

As Peta said already, white ink always filled up more then CYMK.

Re bright white. It could be the t-shirt and material you are using. I know some t-shirts where even if you pretreat correctly it will never have a smooth bright white surface. But some other t-shirts hold white ink so well that it pools the ink! Experiment with other brands of t-shirts.
