Hello, I am printing with my T-jet 2 and my buyers are complaining about faded images... I am printing only on white T-shirts so I filled white ink containers with cleaning fluid, maybe my printer is using 7 colors instead of 4 and its using cleaning fluid? Here's the photo of my ink containers: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting as you can see the cleaning fluid levels in the containers is almost the same as Ink level... Is there any ways to improve printing quality? Thanks a lot.

Please describe how you are curing your t-shirts after printing.

You may want to try using the 720 2 pass print mode and then setting the copies to 2 so that the 2 pass print mode will print 2 passes. Printing 2 passes on a white t-shirt is recommended if the weight is anything heavier then 4.3oz. This will allow for a more vibrant print and the more ink on the shirt the better the wash.

One other thing to look at. Please go into FastRIP and take a screenshot of Printers-> Manage Printers.

What I'd like you to check for is that you installed the Fast T-Jet 2 as your printer, and not the Fast T-Jet 2 7 Color. If you installed the Fast T-Jet 2 7 Color, the cleaning solution would be printing on your shirts.

How can I check does my printer is using 4 or 7 colors?
Thanks a lot.

I think he describes it above re: (how to).

Your printer package is correct being set to Fast T-Jet 2 but one thing I notice from the pic is that your version is at 3.7 which is outdated. You should be at 4.7. Don't know if this is the cause of your faded images but its a possibility.

It looks like you're not using a print mode. In FastArtist, go to File -> FastRIP Setup. Make sure to choose Photo 1440 HS or Photo 720 HS. (You're currently set to "Default" print mode.) This should make a dramatic difference in your prints.

Yes, MAN! Dramatic differences.

You'll see an even better quality of print on whites using the 720 2 pass print mode and setting it to 2 copies. If you need the updated printer package pm me and I will send it to you.

Ok, so I have changed settings from default to 720 photo HS on Fast Artist, but nothing changed. Maybe because I am using 720 photo settings in printing preferences on epson 2200 already? Heres the photo of the T-shirt: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting is it normal quality print?

 

[equipmentzone1]

Have you tried two passes of 720x720, or one pass of 1440x1440?

Alex

 

[mantasnumber1]

Yes, if I make 2 passes then the image is really saturated, but shouldn't it be as saturated as in design on PC after 1 pass 720x720? And all T-jets are using so much cleaning solution (or white ink) because of head cleanings ? Thanks

You've should of gotten an email to download the updated printer package. Also, what brand of ink are you using?

 

[mantasnumber1]

I have sent you an email, Lozographics.
