Printing with FastARTIST
and a Fast T-Jet
Your Fast T-Jet is designed to produce an image using the four colors of CMYK
(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black), along with White, if it has been specified as
a print color for Highlights or as an Underbase.
To print an image, Open or
Import a file using the File menu.
If you Open or Import a bitmap
file from Photoshop or another
program, ensure the file is in
RGB format. The file may open
on the page the wrong size if it
is in CMYK format.
Because this software is a very
powerful tool, you also have
the option of creating the entire
image in FastARTIST.
Once the image is placed in
the Workspace, select Print to
FastRIP from the File menu. This command will send the image to your printer
through a printer driver called FastRIP. FastRIP is a Raster Image Processor that
tells the printer how many passes to make, how much ink to lay down, whether
to print in unidirectional or bi-directional mode and how to print White ink if
applicable.
If you have not configured FastRIP, you cannot output an image
to your Fast T-Jet Inkjet-to-Garment printer. Before continuing with
this Chapter, please ensure you are familiar with all the information
contained in Chapter 7, especially Print Mode selection.
Printing to a Fast T-Jet using Templates
The easiest way to print with Fast T-Jet is to use preconfigured Templates. These
have been precisely laid out to correspond to the Shirtboard size(s) on which
you’ll be printing.
Go to File > Open and locate the Template folder in the FastARTIST directory.
