Cure the print. Carefully remove the shirt from the Shirtboard and cure the 5.
print. Keep in mind, White ink will need to be cured longer than standard
colors. Cure in a conveyor dryer or Heat Press. (See page 59- Curing Your
Garments for specific details)
If using a Heat Press, place a silicone treated
piece of parchment paper (a common
baking pan liner) over the print and close the
press. When you open the press, peel the
paper immediately. The paper can be used a
number of times before it becomes too
wrinkled to use.
You will only use the silicone treated paper •
for curing after the entire print has been completed. You risk ruining a shirt
if you use silicone paper in the Pretreatment phase.
If you want a glossy print, use a standard Teflon pad rather than silicone •
treated parchment when curing the print in a Heat Press. Teflon pads are
available from most Heat Press manufacturers.
Important Point
When printing gradient images with White ink, you should have two versions of
the artwork. One version will have a White background and the other will have
a Black background. These two files can be created in Photoshop, Adobe
Illustrator, CorelDRAW or even in FastARTIST. If you use another program, simply
save or export the files as a JPEG file at 250 DPI resolution for the final print size
and Import these files into FastARTIST.
There is an excellent video tutorial on “Underbasing with Two Versions of
Artwork” on the T-Jet Support page.
This Chapter of the Manual is designed to provide a brief Overview of the
process for printing White ink onto a T-Shirt or other garment. Please consult your
FastARTIST User’s Manual for more detailed instructions and specific Hints and
Tips.
Please DO NOT attempt to print ANY image until you have read and familiarized
yourself with FastARTIST and FastRIP, including their uses and capabilities.
