User Manual
The definition of a light garment is any print that does not use white ink. The general rule to determine
if you need white is if the colors of the image you are printing are darker than the color of the substrate
you are printing on, white ink is not required.
You will now need to have a graphic that is ready to be place into the AnaRIP software. You should design
your images at the full size that they will be printed with a resolution between 100-300 DPI and a canvas
size of 16x20 or smaller (depending on platen size).
The AnaRIP software has a limited number of possible file types you can use. They are JPG, TIFF, and
PNG. We recommend that you prepare your images as TIFF or PNG file types. The TIFF and PNG formats
both support transparencies generally required for dark shirt printing and use lossless compression that
will keep your file high quality.
It is also good practice to avoid saving images as JPG. These are compressed file formats originally design
for internet use only that loose quality every time they are re-saved. If you are using the native Adobe
file formats of AI or PSD you must flatten all of the layers of you image and save this version for printing
your complete image.
Open theAnaRIP program from your desktop.
Once the program is open you can now place the graphic you would like to use by selecting Place Image
under the File drop down in the upper left corner of the program. You may also drag and drop a graphic
into the program by clicking on the file and dragging it onto the preview are of the AnaRIP software.
