Default Printing Stand alone white on black

Hello everybody,

I've been trying to print white as a primary color on black without success. Has anyone done this on a Kiosk or T-jet? Please let me know what selections in the print menu I may need to make this happen. BTW I get white print it just doesn't look as good as white print with color over it. Even with two passes.

thanks.

I print black shirts with white fonts almost everyday.....I use T-Jets....In Fastartis I dont use the underbase wizard....I select the underbase from the squares at the bottom underneath the color squares.....if you want to use white as your primary color click sf white....I set the underbase at 1440 and the print pass at 720.....I prefer the photo mode but you may want to use cartoon....Assuming you are pretreating correctly the 1440 underbase often will almost be white enough but sometimes the printing pass of white brightens things up even more

Okay. There are a couple of things that I don't understand. Do you know if the menus are the same for Tjet and kiosks? Underbase wizard, whats that? Squares at the bottom, what squares. I also didn't see the sf option. Please help if you have any insight.

Thanks

I use the HM1 and on my settings to do this I use heavy density for my bottom white layer and then for my top layer I make the change the color to 3%yellow so that it prints the whole layer and print that layer at 720, and the 3% doesnt effect the color at all. It comes out very bright white with good coverage.
hope this helps, I dont know what printer you are printing on or what software setup you have.

Bobbie
