Default White Underbase

So, I can't get the white underbase right..everytime I try to print a vector with a white underbase, I always get white squares on the top left of my shirt.I've read the manual, and can't figure out for the life of me what I'm doing wrong!

Are you using Illustrator or CorelDraw to create your vector art? What file type are you importing into FastArtist?

You also might want to check out another RIP that may be a bit easier to use.

Your rip isnt the problem. I suppose your using Illustrator. Heres something I recommend. In Illustrator go to file>export> then save as a png. You will get a window that pops up allowing you to save at a certain dpi. Save as 300dpi and select your background as transparent. Make sure your artwork is the size you want to print it at. This will rasterize your artwork but this type of format will hold your vector quality very well. Bring into fastartist and select your underbase wizard hat and set your settings. If it stills prints the squares than it is within your artwork.

Default Re: White Underbase

ahh lazo, got it! I'll try that out!!!!

But I'm on problem #902842384-10843082304823908438403840839248092384039

Now when I do nozzle check some of the black cuts off...So its like " ZZLE CHECK" instead of "Nozzle Check" when it prints...I cleaned out the printhead, and everything sprays great, I see no problem at all..adjusted the height of the inks,cleaned the carriage..but nothing..

Tired of spending money nonstop on printheads....
