I would also try printing at 1440 x 1440 or do two layers 720 x 720. It looks like you might not be laying down enough ink

Also do you have a vivid darker setting instead of standard?

Ok let me know how it works and if it improves it at all. If you have a good nozzle check, then it just sounds like it is with the print settings

Hi Kathy,
A few things you might want to check.

How far away is your printhead from the garment? You said you were having trouble raising your bed, that's why I ask.

Do all designs print with banding, or just this one?

Also, the print looks very light in the photographs -- is it like that in real life? For troubleshooting purposes, take BobbieLee's suggestion to print at 1440x1440. Posting a picture of that would be helpful.

-Alex

Default Re: 1st prints on the t-jet3 banding

ok I tried 720 2 passes worked pretty good Just wanted to thank you both Harry & Bobbielee for all your help these past few days. Banding is gone I noted everything temp & humidity fast artist settings , Now I need to get the inks brighter on the white shirts (more reading to do)---

Pre-treatment----
1- preheat press to 330
2- Spray my pretreatment just so I see a light mist
3- brush down fairly firm to make sure to get it into the fibers. I only brush the one direction.
4- use the quilan parchment paper and press at 330 for 15 seconds. Take off the paper and press another 10 seconds. Then I am ready to print

printed shirts 720 2 passes


Curing T-shirts-----
parchment paper silicone
White shirts with no white ink - 60 seconds on 330 degrees
