how to print the Underbase and Highlight and how much ink to lay down. To
do all of this for you, we have included with your printer package our own very
special RIP program called FastRIP.
For best results, turn OFF all Screen Savers when printing to your T-Jet3 PLUS.
Note: For information about installing and using FastARTIST and FastRIP, consult
the FastARTIST User’s Manual.
FastARTIST and FastRIP
What makes the T-Jet3 PLUS so unique
is not only the printer and ink, but also
the software that drives it. As mentioned
earlier, your printer comes with two very
powerful programs – FastARTIST and
FastRIP. FastARTIST is a complete graphics
program much like CorelDRAW and
Adobe Photoshop. You can use it for all
of your graphic image creation or you
can create images in CorelDRAW or
Adobe Photoshop and import them into
FastARTIST to take advantage of the one-
click Underbase Wizard or simple clipping options.
FastRIP
FastRIP is a driver speci fi cally designed
for Inkjet-to-Garment printers like your
T-Jet3 PLUS . A RIP converts the data from
a graphics program to computer code
called Postscript . This powerful language
allows much more control over a printer,
making the following possible:
Previewing printable images •
Control over the amount of ink used •
Faster print speeds compared to a •
standard printer driver
FastRIP is extremely easy to use and is almost transparent when working with the
T-Jet3 PLUS .
