Xpres Subli-Print Epson 1400: Manual - Manual (Page 6)

Working with templates
In this section you will learn how to open a sublimation template, import an image and use the power clip tool to fit the
image to the template. For this exercise we will use the 9cm² square coaster.
If you have had an installation by an Xpres engineer, you will find the templates in a folder on your desktop called ‘Xpres’.
Otherwise you can either download these from the Technical Support section of our website
www.xpres.co.uk/tech_support/downloads You can also find these on the Xpres Technical CD, and Subli-Print CD.
Click File > New From Template ( diagram 1 ), click on the ‘Browse’ tab then point it towards where your Sublimation
templates are stored. Select the ‘Coaster square.cdt’ then click OK.

Press the ink button and the printhead will read the chips
and begin the initial head charge.
Lay the bottles down and remove the rubber bung from the
colour you wish to refill.
Use the syringe and the appropriate nozzle attachment to fill
the colour.
You cannot fill the reservoir further than the hole allows.
Do not stand the system up so you can fill the smaller
chamber, this system works on the principle that the
smaller chamber is partially empty.
Your system is now ready for use.
Return the bottles to an upright position and replace the
rubber bung ensuring the centre sections are removed.
