![]() If you do not pretreat well and evenly, you wasted a dark shirt. Maybe I'll post the plans on here somewhere as open source and let ya'll run with it. I actually invented my own little pretreat system that actually works really well and I was going to bring it to market, but if I'm not keeping the printer, who knows. I did what I was supposed to, and my machine always printed beautifully. So yes, these clog, but if you do exactly what they say to do, you should be ok. Yes, I had some clogged nozzles - one standard cleaning fixed it. And again, I let this thing sit without printing sometimes for a week. I rigged up my own water sensor/fill system (I'm an amateur electronicics junkie) to keep the humidifer full at all times.īy doing the above, I have NEVER had a bad clog. I also bought a bigass $200 humidifer with built in humidistat to keep under the cover with it. ![]() Solvent and swabs arent going to dissolve that skin on the seal. Make sure you peel the skin off the capping station too (dont go too nuts, you dont want to damage the seal with your tweezers). Peel it all off and you'll have a beautiful, clean wiper under there. It's like glue and will peel off like a thick rubber skin. It cost me $57 a month in wasted ink just to own the printer. ![]() So lets say that was 80% ink and 20% cleaning fluid. Some of that was cleaning fluid to be sure, but thats not much cheaper than the ink. Average the cost of a 220ml cartridge at $64 ( ink prices), and my printer blew $366 worth of ink into the waste tanks. 14oz into ML, times three, is 1242ml of ink. Each time it had about 14oz of ink in it. In the 6 months I've owned it, I've drained the waste tank three times. I've also had it go off in the MIDDLE of a print. I saw auto maintenance go off 20 minutes after I did a print. So technically if you have a 12 hour Auto Maintenance set, if you print every 9 hours, it should NEVER go off. The auto maintenance is supposed to run every X number of hours (where X is the interval you set) - but printing is supposed to reset that timer. ![]() Let it vomit a LOT of ink into the waste tank. Let your printer vomit ink into the waste tank. All the time.įirst, leave the Auto Maintenance on. And by treating it right I mean being insane about maintenance. You buy a DTG if you're printing EVERY SINGLE DAY.Īs long as you treat it right, your Sprint will purr. This is NOT a machine you buy, leave sitting about, and only use when you have shirt jobs. MAIN reason I'm getting rid of it? I dont have enough shirt volume to justify the maintenance (and cost of the maintenance). The company itself, Anajet, is worthless but, the machine works great IF you do exactly what they tell you to do. Its not really the machine itself, I love how it prints and I havent ever had a real "problem" with it. Wanted to post my 6 month ownership review of my Anajet Sprint, and say why I'm getting rid of it. Now, posting in Chrome, I'm trying again, but some details may be lost as I'm really pissed off I'm starting over. The company, and their salepeople (aren't so great) -moderator edit for language.įirst - I typed for 30 minutes then my POS Firefox crashed and I lost it all. TLDR version: Printer is great if you have the time and money to maintain it.
