the right shows a magni fi ed view of a fi le that is 300 DPI (bottom) and one that is
72 DPI (top). Obviously, the 72 DPI fi le will be softer.
Check File Mode
This is step that most new users will over look when opening a fi le. It is very
important to note the fi le attributes when fi rst opening a fi le as well as
determining the fi le mode. Note whether it is CMYK or RGB and make changes
if necessary. Files must be in RGB because the T-Jet3 PLUS does not print spot
color.
If the fi le is CMYK from another application, FastARTIST will Open /
Import it as RGB. However, FastARTIST will open the fi le at a larger
resolution than normal, drastically increasing the fi le size. For best
results, convert the fi le to RGB (if you can) before importing it into
FastARTIST.
Yes, Photoshop will do process color separations called CMYK, but for fi le
manipulation and adjustment you should work in RGB mode. To check the
Mode of the fi le in Photoshop, go to Image > Mode . If CMYK is checked, click on
RGB.
Check File Size and Resolution
You must know the actual resolution and size of
the image. Otherwise you could be working on
a very small fi le and not know it. In FastARTIST,
Import a photorealistic fi le and click on the
Bitmap > Image Size . You will see the actual size
of the image. If the resolution is too small, change
the size and click Apply . Remember that an
appropriate image size should be 150 to 300 DPI.
If the images physical size is too small, resize the
image before changing the resolution. After the
image size is adjusted, click on the Bitmap and
then Image Size . Change the resolution and
select Bicubic . Click Apply .
In Photoshop, go to Image > Image Size . If it says pixels per CM, change this to
inches and then enter the image’s intended fi nal print size. Re-adjust the
resolution and make sure that Bicubic is selected. The physical size should be the
fi nal print size.
