Creating print data
About color mode (color space)
The GTX pro printer is a printer of RGB type.
Be sure to create image data in RGB mode, and always set the color space (input) you use for such data to sRGB
(sRGB IEC61966-2.1).
<TIPS>
When such application as Adobe and Corel is used, there are instances in which an image in CMYK mode cannot reproduce the
color that is intended.
Even for an image in RGB mode, a similar color reproduction failure occurs when other color space than the specified one, such
as Adobe RGB, is used.
About print layout
Specify the platen size that uses the paper size specified in the Print menu, and confirm the print layout.
Moreover, use the "Brother GTX pro FileOutput" printer driver for file output, then display and check the print preview.
<TIPS>
In order for a print image to be oriented properly at all times, it is advisable to set the GTX pro printer to the [Set as default
printer].
How to create white data
When creating print data with [Color + White Ink] or [White Ink Only], RGB=(255) is treated as "Transparent color",
ejecting no ink. For such an image that you wish to print out in pure white color with white ink, make such a setting as
RGB=254.
<TIPS>
The treatment of RGB=255 varies depending on the applications. Configure the settings appropriately.
About ARXP file
Use the "Brother GTX pro FileOutput" printer driver for file output in order to save your print data in the ARXP format.
When your print data is saved in the ARXP format, its information and the amount of used ink will be able to be reviewed.
<TIPS>
When performing file output, be sure to use the printer driver, "Brother GTX pro FileOutput". If file output is performed using [Print
to file] command that is supplied with each application, there may be some cases where the file extension cannot be saved
as .arxp, or the file destination cannot be specified.
ARX4 files created with the GTX can be printed with the GTX pro.
The GTX pro printer cannot print out the print data that has been created for the GT-541/GT-782/ GT-3 series.
If you make a printer driver setting from the Control Panel of your PC, such setting sometimes will not take effect in each
application. For this reason, verify that your printer driver has been set up properly before you begin printing.
