Default strange background around transparent images

I seem to be having a strange problem...First let me apologize for the poor image quality of the linked image...

Ok machine specs

kiosk 2
rip pro v3
printing from PS CS4

lately ive replaced the print head, pump and capping station, wipers, and ribbon cable...and i added the EZ Pro bulk ink system..

got everything back together...everything works like a charm...getting great ink flow, nice prints...

all except for that background printing you see in the image...the image itself is a psd file with one layer...no background

i figure its a setting somewhere but i just cant seem to get it correct and dont want to waste anymore ink or shirts...

im hoping one of the experts here can lend me a hand in correcting this problem..

thanks in advance guys and gals, it is appreciated

You say "no background"..... is it "white" on your screen? Since this print is small, and it's not the full printing area of your printer... it's the file If you go into photoshop, check the background and make sure there is not a caste there(window/show info). If there is, select it, make it transparent or delete to true white (look at the numbers). You could also go to you level dialog and define the white in your background to true white( the best way). Also, make sure your monitor is calibrated to show you this in the future.

One of the other things is to check the rendering intent. If you are using relative colormeteric, you can change the white point which can in return cause some ink to be dropped. I have seen this more with paper printing / hybrid RIPs, but I don't see why the same principle would not apply for a dtg printer.

Make sure the background is transparent and print the image again. I think we are all thinking the same way here. Let us know how it goes.

Hope this helps!
