not printing one line
I have a design that for some reason decided not to print one yellow line. I thought maybe it was a fluke and I tried reprinting it and the same thing happened. I printed the same image on a sublimation transfer and it came out fine, so I kind of gave up the
dtg one. Of course it is much easier and less expensive to print on the Brother, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Re: not printing one line That's what happened to our black head. It's not an issue if you are not printing large black prints, but we print those a lot. We ended up having to get a new print head.

Re: not printing one line Here it is. This does not happen on any other image so far. I have done hundreds of shirts since and have never had the same problem. I normally print through Corel Draw X3 and did not do anything different as far as I can tell. It is still a mystery to me.

Re: not printing one line strange, convert it to a jpeg and try it again. I do this with some of my larger files...before I learned how to do great art without making a huge file.

Re: not printing one line I will give it a try and let you know if that solves the issue. It is a little strange.

Re: not printing one line If it doesn't happen on any other image and your test print looks fine, then it is most likely something with the image (as stated above).
Keep us updated.

Re: not printing one line I would even argue that your jpg version has a lot more vibrancy in the print.

Re: not printing one line I think I remembered that I had yellow and black and printed them separately on the second one so the colors popped more. It definitely does look better though.

Re: not printing one line interesting, I always have issue when I got yellow and other colors mixing with it, I will tend to get like little blue dots or something. I remember tech. mentioning use yellow/black button when two colors are together but that image shows a huge difference

Re: not printing one line Marsha, when you converted it to a jpeg, did you still print it from corel or photoshop?

Re: not printing one line I printed with Corel. I am having trouble with my Photoshop on the laptop that I print from so it was just easier.
