Hi there, I'm very new to the garment printing world, we've just had our DTG Viper for just over a week now.
My problem is I'm getting streaks in solid colours on black tee shirts. If I print the same logo on white tee's they come out perfect. Letters & smaller details seem to be fine, it's just the larger solid colours in the background. Any advice would be appreciated.
Ah, welcome to the club have you done all the usual first steps? (nozzle checks, ink tests, ink charge, head clean, etc - and cleaned the head and capping station manually?)
Yep, I've been pretty intense with the cleaning, & I'm getting good nozzle check result's. In fact I've read a couple of good tips from the forum about cleaning as well. I've also tried boosting the colour, & boosting the amount of white underlay.
The streaks aren't consistant either, sometime's it's quite noticeable & sometime's it isn't. & it only happens in large blocks of 1 colour, with smaller logo or text there is no problem.
I have noticed when doing a colour test, that the white is good, the black is good, the yellow is good, there is a very slight hardly noticeable streaks in the magenta, & then a little more in the cyan. I'm not sure how to correct this. I'll try to post some pix's in the next day or 2.
