4-3-5. Selecting the Color Processing for increasing the Vividness

This menu is an advanced Vivid Processing of GT-541. You can arrange the saturation (the strength of the colors) and the contrast separately. GT-541 Vivid Processing is equal to GT-782 Contrast and you can adjust more precisely by 0-40. Vivid Processing 1 is identical to Contrast 10. When the image data is well-contrasted, adjust mainly with Saturation. When the image data is plain and dull, adjust mainly with Contrast.

The bigger value, more adjustment. When the image data is in CMYK mode, change the RGB mode and print with both Saturation and Contrast around [ 30 ]. Better to do test print in advance because sometimes the print data is unexpectedly changed.

4-3-6. Selecting the White Mask for White ink only

This menu is available only for White ink ([ Color + White ] and [ White Only ]). RGB=255 white (paper color) is always transparent with no ink printed. RGB=0 black is transparent too when [ Print with Black ink ] is checked OFF, when black color is expressed with the background T-shirt body color.

Transparent Color

You can select one transparent RGB color so that you can use red T-shirt color in the print data by changing R=255 GB=0 red as transparent.

(1)Check [ Transparent Color ] checkbox then the pull-down menu in the right will be available.

(2)Select one color from the pull-down menu (T-shirt simulation colors) or click [ Custom Color ] button and input RGB values.

<Note>

Only one Custom Color is available at a time. This RGB values will not be added to the list.

Tolerance

Select the range from the transparent color to the normally-masked color. The gradation range becomes wider when the value is bigger.

<Note>

Smooth gradation depends on the original image data. Better to do test print in advance.

Choke Width

Sometimes the mask White ink can be shown, which depends on the thickness of the T-shirt, humidity of the room, etc. You can choke (cut out) the outline by one dot (1/600 dpi). Select the value.

<Note>

If the value is bigger, some thin lines (in the letters, photos, etc) might disappear. Better to do test print in advance.
