    First efforts from new VJ628

    Hi all

    Finally got to use the new system in anger today. Didnt help that after having it all delivered last week we were straight off to a 4 day show before I could get it all set up! Anyway got the printer up and running after a few hiccups - mainly related to my network setup and crappy laptop. Printed off some mug templates and had a test press. Have to say that I am mightily impressed with my first efforts - okay the prints are not 100% aligned quite equally from the handle (oops) but hey ho!

    The print quality and colours are way better than I expected for my 1st efforts!

    Off to set up for another show tomorrow but when we get back its on to the t-shirts!

    Which ink config did you go for? Did the supplier set it all up for you?

    I went for the 8 colour photo set. I set it up for myself, they did offer, but I went for it and all seems ok - at least the results so far are pretty cool!

    Just make sure you go through all head alignment checks in both upper and lower head position. Ideally you'll want a good magnifying glass for this.

    Are you using Wasatch RIP?

    Thanks for the tip - the head alignment was a right PITA!! Ive been using Virtuoso Print Manager so far - is there any advantages using Wasatch?

    If you have an iPhone get the x60 microscope lens for a fiver off eBay :-)

    Wasatch is superb, nesting is very useful if nothing else!
