    Import and set up your image as described in the previous chapter (see Chapter 6: Light Garment Printing Process) When printing onto a dark garment or any garment that needs white ink to be printed the Enable white ink checkbox needs to be checked in the Ri 3000 and Ri 6000 RIP program. Figure 7.5-1: Underbase When you enable white ink three things will happen.

  • Page 101 Figure 7.5-9: Color Contrast Slider Down Opacity Contrast is only active when your image has a soft or semi-transparent edge or the image has semi-transparent colors in it. Moving the slider bar to the left will reduce the amount of white Underbase beneath these areas to help create a smoother blend.
  • Page 102 Figure 7.5-11: Opacity Contrast Down Choke combats the phenomena that when printing the White ink Underbase onto a garment the garment will expand and swell. This is the same for any type of garment printing including screen printing. The Choke setting slightly reduces the outside dimensions of the Underbase so that white ink does not appear outside the prints edges of the final color pass.

This will help you bump up or bring down certain colors in your final print.

If using white highlight, make sure there is dead pixel space between any large amounts of pure white and any CMYK color as it may cause white ink to mix the color at the edge.
