- Page 3 iColor® 600 Apparel Plus Tabloid Printer The iColor® 600 printer has been developed to produce high‐quality color prints with the added functionality of printing in white as a spot color or an overprint in one pass with the included iColor Transfer RIP Software. Please follow the enclosed quick setup guide to get started. The standard user manual (provided on CD enclosed) will provide detailed instructions for full printer functionality. The iColor® 600 comes complete with 4 toner cartridges for full color with white printing (CMYW), as well as a true black printing kit (toner and drum combination). Just quickly swap the white for black when true black is needed. With the white cartridge installed, black is produced using composite black (made from CMY). You will also have the option to add our full fluorescent kit which comes complete with 3 [CMY] toner cartridges and matching drum units. This system requires no additional software or expertise to print conventional CMYK images in vivid fluorescent color that glow under black (UV) light. Please note that vector and line art images, including text, are likely to produce the best results.

- Page 12 Use the included iColor® TransferRIP software to print a white overprint in one pass. Because the iColor 600 features white overprint capabilities, the cartridges are reordered to achieve this effect. Thus, the iColor TransferRIP software must be used in order to print. Otherwise, your colors will not print correctly. Please refer the the iColor TransferRIP Software User Manual for further information. The iColor® TransferRIP software allows the user to manipulate the white layer on top of your graphic for pressing on dark garments or when printing in halftones with less than 60% toner coverage. No need to create additional graphics with different color configurations – the software does it all – and in one pass! Enhance the brilliance of any graphic with fluorescent white overprint!

- Page 13 It is highly recommended that you use the fluorescent cartridges with the black cartridge installed for best results. Fluorescent toners, by their nature, are very bright and cannot create accurate composite black. If white is needed anywhere on the image, it is suggested that you run the graphic through as a 2 pass to ensure accurate colors. Check your image to ensure there is no black in the image at all (No 100% K, or any composite black colors). The TransferRIP software will take any black color and automatically make a specific composite black color using the C, M, & Y colors which will produce undesirable results. Most fluorescent images will be placed on a black or dark colored garment, so black would not be suggested in these cases anyway. Use Geniune UniNet iColor Consumables Only use genuine UniNet iColor consumables. The use of incompatible supplies (toner, drums, transfer belts, fusers) will cause damage to your printer not covered by your warranty. Replacing toner and drum cartridges Because the iColor 600 features cartridge remapping to achieve a white overprint, it is important that you follow these rules when determining which color cartridge to order (pertains to both toner and drum units): Printer Display Reads: Replace with: Cyan low/out/empty White or Black (check which cartridge is installed)

Page 14: Printing Tips
Printing tips There are many variables that could produce different results. Specific steps may need to be altered based on: Type and brand of Heat Press: The temperature and duration varies slightly based on the heat press being used. All instructions are based on using a Hotronix Fusion press. Clam shell and swing away presses may also yield different results. Type of image: Photos or full color graphics may require a longer press time than vector images or text Type of garment: Cotton, Polyester, and Spandex material all respond differently to heat. All instructions are based on cotton garments Toner Coverage: Halftones in image may cause undesired results. Toner coverage should not be less than 60%, otherwise there will be issues with transferring the adhesive to the transfer sheet. Halftones can be corrected when using the white overprint feature in the RIP. This will help with toner coverage and proper adherence to the garment.
