Anajet Sprint Printing Question

I am printing on the Anajet Sprint. The image is coming out running down hill. Is my print platen out of square? If so, how do I square it back up?

It most likely is out of square. I have the same problem with my Sprint. I keep a tape measure near by and always measure the end of the table to the bar in front of the print head. I do this every few prints. As for fixing it. You will need to ensure the nut under near the print table is loose, square the print table up and tighten the nut back up. I haven't found a permanent solution, but you have to keep the nut tight...

I don't have my Sprint yet, so I don't know what kind of nut, but can you get a locking nut or "locktite", to make sure that nut doesn't unscrew itself.

i notice my platen sags a little in the front corner. Take a TRUE straight edge and lay it across the horizontal and vertical planes. if it's out your kind of screwed. its a plastic platen so not very sturdy. i am actually going to be fabricating an aluminum platen for my printer. This will solve all the problems.

Another thing to check is that the printer itself is level on the table or surface. get a level and check that too.
