Default Re: brighter colors

There are a couple things you can try. One is to make sure your print setting is on vivid darker. Not sure if you have this setting in fastart, but their should be one similar. Another is to boost the saturation by around 5 to 10% to account for the fade when curing. Also what temp, time and pressure are you using on your prints when curing? It should be very light pressure, at 330 and on lights I do 80 seconds, and on darks I do 180 seconds. The lighter the pressure of our press, the less fade you will get. Let me know if any of this works

Hix 16x20 swingaway press that has a knob on back for pressure,but it doesn't tell me the pressure I have it set so it just locks down snug 330 degree's for 60 seconds on light garments (white & yellow) I will check the fastartist for vivid darker setting
