If your image does not fit the power clip correctly first time, right
click on the image and choose 'Edit Contents' from the drop down
menu (diagram 1). You can also click on Effects > Power Clip >
Edit Contents. Drag the image (you will see the image and the
template on the screen) until you have it in the right place. You can
even re-size the object in the 'Edit' state. When you are happy with
the image placement, right click and choose 'Finish Editing This
Level', from the drop down menu. You can also access this by
clicking on Effects > Power Clip > Finish Editing This Level.

Your image is now ready to print. Refer to page 3 on
printing with the .ICC colour profile.
All Xpres Sublimation templates are slightly larger than the actual substrate. You can leave the border of the template
visible as this helps to line up the substrate before taping it onto the transfer paper (use XP6006 Heat Tape to secure
the substrate to the transfer paper).
The only template you cannot leave the border on is the mug template as this will show up when printed.
To duplicate your image once fitted to the template refer to page 11 on duplicating objects
The next section is applicable to Xpres Subli-Print bulk feed systems.
Before inserting the Subli-Print ink into the Epson D88 ensure you have flushed/primed the printer with the standard Epson
ink supplied with the machine. Ensure that you have a perfect nozzle check pattern as in diagram 1 below.
Important: After inserting the Subli-Print inks into the Epson D88, leave the printer for at least an hour before use to
allow the inks to settle.
Before printing with the Subli-Print inks ensure you have all four primary colours printing like the nozzle check pattern
above (diagram 1) or refer to the original bulk feed instructions on pages 4-7.
If you have breaks in the nozzle check pattern (diagram 2) run the cleaning process (no more than three times) followed
by a nozzle check pattern. If any more than three cleans are required, leave the printer to rest for at least thirty minutes
before commencing the cleaning process. Tip: Do not over clean the Epson D88 as this just wastes ink and in most
cases the nozzle check pattern will deteriorate rather than improve.
Gaps in the pipes from the feeder unit to the head is normal. Ink will fill the tubes under normal usage. Refer to the bulk
feed fitting instructions on page 4 of this manual for more information.
XP4072a (A4) & XP4073a (A3) is used for all hard surface and fabric substrates.
Print onto the bright white side only.
