2 For thicker garments such as hoodies & jackets, manual platen height adjustment might still be needed

3The output speed is the time from ink discharge starts until the ink discharge ends. Printing requires other times for pre-processing, garment setting, data processing, data transfer, and post-processing. Default "Print Quality" setting on Garment Creator2.
