Dark spots appear in light-colored images
After fixing the ink, dark spots may appear on the spots.
Causes:
The following causes are possible.
• The height of the image size being less than 100 mm,* and the drying time of the white ink being
short.
*If the image size is too small, the proper drying time cannot be ensured after the white ink prints.
• The garment is not pretreated properly.
• The design of the image uses a lot of dark colors.
• Large amounts of white ink being ejected. (Intensity is set to 100 instead of the default value of 98.)
• Color ink flowing when white ink is set to white solid mode (flooding or minimum 100 of brightness).
Solutions:
See the solutions on page 208, “If bleeding occurs”.
If the problem persists, perform the following.
• The pretreatment concentration may be high.
It is recommended to replace with a new pretreatment liquid or change the dilution ratio from pure
water = 2:1 to (2.5~3):1.
• Check the storage status of the garment after pretreatment, and note the following points.
 Make sure it is dry before storing.
 Do not store for too long.
 Do not store in a humid environment.
• There is a possibility that the brand or type of printed fabric is bleeding easily.
If possible, change the brand or type of printed fabric.
