4-3-9. Color Multiple Pass Printing
Make this menu ON when you see some thin white lines (clearance between the printed lines) with all Print Head
Nozzles are firing properly. Multiple Pass Printing is to move the Platen Feed by half for more precise printing so
that the print time is doubled but the "regular" clearance will not be seen easily. Color Multiple Pass Printing is ON
automatically when more-than-one-layer White Ink is printed.
<Note>
You do not have to select Color Multiple Pass Printing simply because White Ink is automatically Multiple Pass
Printing when the print data has more than one White layer.
4-3-10. Settings for Color Inks
The [ Ink Volume ] in [ Color Settings ] appears on when [ Color Only ] is selected. This function is the same as
GT-541/GT-782.
Ink Volume
To get the best print result, you may need to adjust the amount of ink depending on the fabric of the T-shirt to
prevent ink-spreading (blurring). Print “InkVolume_1200.ar3" or “InkVolume_600.ar3" first and select the best ink
volume by sliding the Ink Volume tab. It is in [ All Program ] > [ Brother GT-3 Tools ] > [ Test Data ].
Example 1 (50% cotton 50% polyester thin T-shirt)
"7" is the best by the print result of "InkVolume_600.ar3"
Example 2 (100% polyester synthetic leather fabric)
"3" is the best by the print result of "InkVolume_600.ar3"
<Note>
The menu "Double Printing" and "Yellow/Black Printing" are eliminated by the improvement of Print Heads.
The following pages indicate the [ Advanced ] menu. See the dialog image in Step 3 (4) in "4-3-13
