1-1. Precautions

Please observe the following precautions before using your printer.

zGT-3 represents the common specifications of GT-381, GT-361 and GT-341 models. The individual specifications are described with each model name.

zPlease advise the following to your customers who buy your printed materials:

zPrinted colors may transfer when a printed surface rubs on a white or light-colored synthetic leather made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). When printing CMYK-only garments, the CMYK ink may transfer to the White-only printed garment when they rub against each other. In those cases, clean the stains with a soft cloth or toothbrush with a household cleaner or alcohol.

zWash away the pretreatment halo marks.

zThe printer is designed to be used within the temperature and humidity levels below. Less humidity may cause ink clogging in Print Head nozzles and higher temperature may cause splashy print result. Use the printer within the range of our recommendation for the best print result.

zDo not pull out Ink Cartridge(s) during the operation; it may result in poor print quality or cause damage to your printer.

zDo not turn off your printer, or open the Front Cover during the operation; otherwise the printer may be damaged or spoil the print job.

zBe careful in handling a printed T-shirt that has not yet fixed by heat. Ink is difficult to wash from stained clothes.

zClean the Caps and Wipers, replace the Wiper Cleaners, Fan Filter, Roller Felts (4), Flushing Plate Sponge (top) and Flushing Plate Felt (bottom) according to our maintenance schedule to maintain good print quality. Those Maintenance Parts are packed together in White, Cyan and Magenta (except 180 cc) ink Cartons. Replace them when you open the new ink cartridge or you see the warning indicated on the display. Print quality may be damaged by insufficient cleaning, e.g. dirty printed materials, mis-firing.

zNever use alcohol when you clean Head Caps and Wiper Blade; it will cause damage to the Print Heads. Use Wash Liquid when you clean around the Print Heads.

zInstall the Ink Cartridges in the correct positions as shown. Confirm both the colors of labels on your printer and the Ink Cartridges.

zThe printer indicates empty status "Empty XXXX (color)" when the ink cartridge is used up. Replace with a new Ink Cartridge. Make a new Ink Cartridge available when the icon on the Operation Panel starts blinking. A small amount of ink remains to avoid damage to your printer.

zNew consumables should be stored away from direct sunlight until they are required. Use up the Ink Cartridges, Pretreatment and Maintenance Solution before the expired date, and CMYK inks should be used up within six months after opening the new one.

GT-3 Series

1. Read This First

zNever refill ink, never reconstruct ink cartridges; ink may cohere inside the cartridge bag, tube or even Print Head and may cause serious damage to your printer. We assume no responsibility for any problem caused by using them. Only genuine new ink cartridges should be used.

zThe ink cartridges should always be installed; otherwise the needles may stopped up with ink and your printer may be damaged.

zTubes and Print Heads for White must be cleaned with Maintenance Solution once a week by the menu Tube Cleaning. The Warning "Clean Tube W*" is indicated on the display of the Control Panel after a week passes since the last Tube Cleaning.

zIf the printer is unused for a period of time there is a possibility that Print Heads and Maintenance Unit may become clogged as ink dries. To avoid this, we recommend that the printer should be turned on at least once a week and press the Head Cleaning Button to clean the Print Head. If you are planning not to use your printer for more than two weeks, follow “6-2-5. Required Maintenance for the Long Storage" in the Instruction Manual to keep printer in good condition.

zShake the White Ink Cartridges once a day before you start printing (30 seconds to 1 minute for each, 1-2 minutes for new one). Hold the cartridge upside down to agitate the pigment in the bottom and shake it horizontally.

zIf CMYK inks are printed on a Pretreatment applied T-shirt, ink may wash off. Do not apply Pretreatment when you print without using White ink.

zThe clearance between the Clearance Sensor and the surface of the Print Heads should be app. 2 mm. If the clearance is wider, the ink mist will spread inside the printer and the printing material, and may damage the sensors inside. If you print with wider clearance (more than 2 mm) then check the inside of the printer and keep it clean by referring to "5-1-6. Cleaning the inside of the printer and restart" and "5-1-7. Cleaning the Encoder Strip".

zPretreatment mist may spread out when you use a spray and/or pretreatment applicator. Ventilate your room in operation. Wear a face mask or goggles as necessary.

zPre-treatment on some T-shirts may be seen after applied and cured, wash lightly with water to remove mark. Some dyes may be decolorized by Pretreatment; we recommend you test the garment before printing.

zDispose the used waste ink, pretreatment, maintenance solution (all water-based) or other wastes in accordance with your local regulations. Or make contact to your dealer.

zThe pretreated area may turn yellow when you apply Pretreatment on a white or light-colored garment. Keep the pretreated garment away from the sunlight and wash the printed T-shirt soon.
