I'm having trouble with almost no color being laid on the underbase. I tried playing with the underbase settings, but no matter what I do almost no color comes out on the color pass.

Not sure if it's the image itself (300dpi bitmap) or my settings.

I know the head are working, I printed a full color design on white perfectly afterwards.

Specs: T-Jet, FastArtist 1.5, FastRIP 8.5

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Are you printing dark shirts?? because if you are printing darks shirts there is no color in the under base.. only white on your under base then color on top.

yes, black shirts. The colors problem is on the second pass, on top of the underbase. Almost no color is laid down.

oh ok.. you mentioned under base and the under base is always white..

upload a picture..

Here's the actual art, I don't have a picture of the printed tee, but it's pretty much all white with a slight sepia on the wave. No where near what it should be.

Thanks

There is a free upgrade to FA 1.5.1 and FRip 9.0. Contact cadlink or maybe cave dave here on the forum can help. Which TJet model 1,2,3.
What settings / mode in FA.

I'm having a similar problem.

I'm simply trying to print white text on a black shirt.

The PSD file looks white in photoshop. It is also white in EZ Artist. But in the EZ Rip print preview it is coming out kinda of a fuzzy gray. It prints that very hazy gray color that the print preivew shows.

Can anyone help?

I print white text as a 2 layer process. The underbase then the color white as the color coat. I change the white to rgb 252 252 252. That gives the rip an illusion of color so it creates 2 layers. Also it maybe that your white is not at every pixel set at 100% white. Check different white layer modes. Some do a gray scale gradient depending on art work. Assume nozzle check is good?
