My Sawgrass printer is REALLY lousy!! I now it is a learning curve, but the colors are not coming out right. I have to print the shirt at least 3 times. Is anyone out there having the same problem. I called Sawgrass, and they are NO HELP! So please, SOMEONE HELP!!!!!
Thanks
Jean
I also have a Sawgrass Printer and had the same problem when I first got it. I would have to do double prints to get a good amount of color out of it when using the RIP software that came with it. I updated my RIP software to PowerRIP for NaturaLink. That helped a lot and I think this maybe your problem. It gave me the ability to print in one pass with color that was acceptable. It also gives you the ability to print white (if you covert your machine). There are several RIP programs out there and I’m not sure which is the best. Might be able to find that on the forum as well. Also pay close attention to cleaning, here is an Epson link that show the parts you should be cleaning. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=FAQ&oid= 57105&prodoid=55197363&foid=80175 There are several posts on this here in the forum about cleaning and preventing clogging of print heads. I hope this helps you out a little, and good luck!

Thanks so much for the advise! I am going to try and upgrad my RIP software and hope that will help! I do not want to do the "up grade" to the white, because I have heard more horrible things with that. I just wish Sawgrass would back us up!! Thanks so much for responding. Take care and happy printing. Jeannie
Just thought they should be helping u also,do u have the series 3 printer and do u have the Iproof rip.If u are not getting help from the retailer U can find help on the dtg inks forum and also DAGUIDE on this forum for the rip.The folks at Digital Art Supply are very helpful,ask for Matt Cluason.I would be glad to help also u can pm me w/ur # or a request for mine I have been through hell and with my printer and I am printing pretty well now.
I think DAS is no longer selling the Sawgrass Advantage...At least I did not see it in their showroom...They have a different unit...and one that I liked when I was their facility. For the price and capability it sure looked good
Hi there,
I am dealing with my direct advantage printer.... I want to be able to use bulk inks and reset the waste tray. Right now I am dealing with super clogged printer head... do you have any suggestions.
