Hi All,
Just printed this 100% cotton apron in Black/Red High Res mode.
I pretreated with Viper Auto at 28 Fluid laydown and pressed for 45 secs.
printed in high res and the yellow is patchy and there is blur (is this too much pretreatment?)
Any ideas are welcome as the yellow not printing consistently does concern me.

Looks like your print head may have been too high from the apron. I would try to get closer and print in uni-directional mode if you have seams to avoid.

Nozzle check on your viper. I think Missed pt where the patch is.
Cheers! Beers are on me always. Last left side one. Clean and try with water see the patern of spraying.

Had same problem once with aprons. They had a teplon coating on them. Bought differant aprons and prblem was fixed.

Thanks Jerid - I think you could be right and I'll give it a go in the morning. But will this fix the yellow not printing an entire block of yellow too? The left hand side of the square has white patches where the yellow didn't print.

Maybe it could be dye effects. Never NeoFlex issue. What brand is it?
Try back side and below on damage shirts, big image.
Greasy hand touch? Since you guys having many bbqs,
Cheers! Beers are on me always.

The Viper is very clean as spent this morning working out why I have tyre tracks down the garments from the spray. Had Grahame from Print One come over and try and help, but we could not fix the spray pattern....so hopefully someone from Viper PT can help us. The Viper has hardly been used and is very clean...and you point regarding the PT may be the problem, would't the white not print also, as the white printed OK? Just a thought and appreciate all your feedback

The yellow issue could be due to the ink still being a little wet. I doubt that's the issue if you printed width wise. Your yellow looks spotty throughout the print though. I would pretreat it, then use higher pressure. You might not be getting enough pressure on the ends where the seams are. You could also build up that area with a mouse pad or something of that nature before you press it. This way you would get a better, more consistent pressure throughout.

Thanks again Jerid - another good point and will increase the pressure and place a block underneath.
