Default t-jet2

I have been using the t-jet2 for about 3 months and have been getting great prints. My only question is this. When i print (on dark shirts) the fuzz of the shirt gives my whites a 'grainy' / 'aged' look. If anyone else has run into this problem and has any tips it would be great.

Its probably your distribution of pre-treatment of the shirt and/or not heating it long enough. I put an even pre-treatment and heat it for 10 secs with pre-treat paper then 10 more without @325 degrees. You shouldn't have any fuzziness.

Make sure that your white ink is stirred up. It seems to settle very fast, in the bottle, and in the cartridges. I take the cartridges out and turn them upside down, and back and forth, to get the "settling ink away from the openings. I hope I explained this well enough. This has made a great difference in the amount of ink that gets put down.
