4. Printing Directly from Applications

4-3-6. White Settings

The following menu appears on when either [ Color + White ] or [ White Only ] is selected. Adjust the volume of White Ink for Highlight (White Ink volume for whitish colors) and Mask (underbase White Ink to cover the print media for CMYK Inks).

Highlight

Adjusts the RGB=254 White and whitish colors. GT-381/GT-361 print more than one layer when the White Ink is used more than the volume that is available in one layer. Adjust the White Ink Volume by referring the Print Time and Ink Volume (%), to meet the variation of print media. Color Multiple Pass Printing is ON automatically when more-than-one-layer White Ink is printed.

Mask

Adjusts the area of underbase White Ink to cover the color of the T-shirts.

[ 3 ] makes the smoothest gradation. When you print on a vivid and deep color T-shirt, adjust the mask to [ 4 ] or [ 5 ]. When you print on a light color T-shirt, select either [ 1 ] or [ 2 ] to make the mask thinner. When [ Print with Black Ink ] is OFF, select [ 3 ] for smooth and accurate colorization. If you make the print image more vivid and bright rather than accurate, select [ 4 ] or [ 5 ].

<Note>

 

z [ Print Time ] and

[ Whiteness ]

[ Print Time ] and

[ Whiteness ] vary when you select [ Machine Mode ], [Highlight ] and/or [ Color Multiple Pass Printing ].

"x1" of [ Print Time ] expresses the time when GT-381 prints one pass in 600 dpi x 600 dpi and "x Number" expresses how many times the print time is. For example, "x4" is four times longer than the print in one-pass 600 dpi x 600 dpi. The 100% expresses the whiteness that one White Print Head prints when the resolution is 600 dpi x 600 dpi.
