Selecting the base color (T-shirt
type)
Overview of T-shirt types
In order to be able to make the best use of the base color
of the T-shirt on which you are printing, and to print
using an efficient amount of ink, the following four
types have already been prepared.
Select the optimum type of T-shirt.
Additionally, the types of T-shirts that you can print
vary, as shown below, according to the Printer Mode
settings of the printer to which you send the jobs.
❏ When White ink mode is selected: All types can be
printed
❏ When Color ink mode is selected: Only light color
t-shirts (standard) can be printed
This section explains the types of T-shirts by using the
case in which the following image is printed as an
example.
: Black (R,G,B = 0,0,0)
: White (R,G,B = 255,255,255)
Black Color T-Shirt (Use Garment Black)
The consumption of black ink can be reduced because
black ink is not applied onto the black (R,G,B = 0,0,0)
areas of the image data.
This software recognizes black (R,G,B = 0,0,0) only
when the data was created with drawing software, which
was configured as RGB for color mode and sRGB for
color space.
Example of printing on a
black T-shirt
Example of printing on a
pink T-shirt
In the example image for , black ink is not applied, so
it is the base color of the T-shirt.
In the colored parts, except for black (R,G,B = 0,0,0), the
white under-base is automatically created using a
density that matches the color being used.
When printing, after the automatically generated
under-base is printed with white ink, color ink is used to
print in layers on top of that. As a result, the colors can be
printed well.
Light Color T-Shirt (Standard)
Only color ink, and not white ink, is used for printing.
The consumption of white ink can be reduced because
white ink is not used. The print results differ according
to the color of the T-shirt.
Example of printing on a
white T-shirt
Example of printing on a
pink T-shirt
In the example image for , white ink is not applied,
so it is the base color of the T-shirt.
If you want to print color on a colored T-shirt the way it
is in the image data, select Dark Color T-Shirt
(Standard) as the type of T-shirt.
Dark Color T-Shirt (Standard)
Both white ink and color ink are used to print the colors
as they are in the image data.
