It's not touch screen This one had the problem So once you do the print head cleaning, right? You can click. Okay. You can click start It's gonna take Well, this is takes four minutes And you can also do this for your workforce Setting Anyway, you go to settings you go to maintenance and you're gonna find print head cleaning So you're gonna press that and click start Now one step finish right for either printer. It's gonna ask you to do a print out And this is the print out For the equal tank now I wasn't getting any kind of red But now it's printing red. I Just went ahead and did it anyway now right here for the workforce did the print out and This is what's popping right now So that little line right there. It's not gonna make you make it or break it your design So that's pretty good. And then once you print it out All you got to do is stick it with the same piece of paper See right there stick it back in the tray And then it's gonna print out on the other side. So I did three of these and I did about four of these already kept the paper jam, but It looks pretty good print print Equal tank preferences. He transferred paper Okay, print about that. I don't know why it's showing that But if you want the colors to be popping like this This was printed out a sub on the workforce Okay, got some light on it Now this is this is the heat transfer paper, right? It's the PPD. So this is what happened earlier but compare it to Sublimation paper This is gonna come out more vibrant. All right, but we're still gonna do a test So I'm gonna do the a sub right now same printer a sub paper versus the heat transfer paper preference Got the a sub Okay, and print. All right So you see the registration marks? This is from The workforce This is from the equal tank. See how they matching up. This is a sub paper Just so you know Okay, it's a sub That's a sub Okay This is heat transfer paper This is the PPD So it's going to come out a little bit more different on here because it's different. It's a different base So you just got to keep that in mind, but if you're using sublimation paper your colors need to be popping off like this So if you got to go through your maintenance if you got to run this Two three up to five times then you got to do it. I ran this about five times So I hope this helps, you know calibrate your screen that way you can see what you're putting out Also, you know, it's good to clean out the head on the printer That way your designs will come out popping. You know, you may have to do it More than a couple times So this follow the instructions takes about a few minutes do the print out things they matching up Keep cleaning it So y'all stay blessed.
