How to Use the Print Pass Counter
The Print Pass Counter makes it easier to make multiple passes of
the Top Colors when printing on dark shirts. Without the Counter
you would need to stay by the machine and press the Load
button each time a print pass is completed. With the Counter , you
can set it for the number of passes and prepare the next shirt for printing. When
printing light garments, you must use a two pass Print Mode in combination with
the print passes counter.
Press the Passes button until it indicates the desired number of passes, then
press the Load button to load the garment. If you are doing a quantity of shirts
with the same design, set the number of copies you will need in FastRIP. After
the shirt loads (the Load light will stop blinking), send the Print command from
FastRIP. When the shirt is completed, press the Eject button 2x to fully eject the
Print Bed. Remove the fi rst shirt and load the next shirt. Reset the Passes button
to the desired number of passes and press the Load button again. Continue this
process until your run is fi nished.
Remember, the Print Pass Counter will default to 1 with the completion of each
garment.
Printing From Various Graphic Programs
Printing from Adobe Photoshop
When printing a design from Photoshop, FastRIP will determine which
components of the image are pure White and con fi gure the output so that
those areas do not receive an Underbase (RGB 255,255,255 or CMYK 0,0,0,0).
If you wish to override these settings, set these areas to a slight tint of off-White
(RGB 254,254,254 or CMYK 1,1,1,1).
In this fi rst example, arrows identify that
the “N” in California has been set to
RGB 254,254,254, meaning that it will
print White.
