Default Black Ink on White

I had a design printed out on a basic white tee. The design came out pretty good, but the black looks real faded. I'm not sure it was the setting or something, but how do your prints come out? does the black look black? or does it look more like a charcoal grey? i believe the setting used was medium 3 or something. i forgot.

My darkest black is printed with a Vivid Medium 3 setting. The graphics, photo, and text settings just don't print dark enough on black.

Larry, You might also check your color space and pallete in the program you are printing/exporting from.

Have you tried a double pass? (basically printing a 2nd copy).

you might be out of black ink. sometimes the censor is late. one thing an anajet can actually accomplish is printing black ink on a white shirt...

yea a double pass usually looks A LOT better.
i had some samples printed from the Anajet office in Costa Mesa, so i dont think their printer had any problems. I'm guessing its just the way they come out? Slightly faded, and not fully 98% black. I think i would even be satisfied with 90% black. To me, it looks washed out and 80% black.
Sometimes a double pass wont help because i wouldnt want to re print the other colors (just the black).

Just duplicate your file and remove the color leaving only the black. Open 2 of the EK program and place the files in the exact same location.

If your original is a bitmap, then this would be more difficult, but if it's vector, then it's really easy. I had to do this on a shirt when the Text1 setting was great for the color, but the black needed to be Vivid.
