Print a colour profile so it is easier to colour match specific colours. Do this on different colours and different brands of textiles as they may give different printed results.

To save money on ink, try reducing the amount of ink used on your design. This should be easy to achieve using your RIP software. Try using different levels and find the optimum settings for both quality and ink usage. Remember, using more ink does not always give you a better print.

It is good practice to keep your capping station clean and happy. Place some cleaning or ink flushing solution in the caps or capping station at the end of the day to keep the head from drying out during extended non-operating periods. This also keeps the tubes from the capping station to the waste container open and clean. If those tubes become clogged you won’t be able to get any ink sucking through the print head. A clean capping station is a happy capping station.

Never use expired inks in your printer – this could result in poor quality prints, and may be harmful to your printer in the long run. Stick to using fresh inks to produce the best quality prints.

Believe it or not, it is perfectly possible to print with your current DTG ink set on 100% polyester fabrics and achieve prints that look and wash as though they’ve been printed with sublimation dyes. It’s important to use the correct pre-treatment that’s designed for polyester fabrics, and make sure you use a slip sheet inside the shirt when printing to avoid ink being printed through the fabric and onto the inside/back of the shirt.
