2.6 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. If you see any white around the edges of your final print
you will want to increase the choke value by putting a Negative value in the choke box.
Choke Needed
If you are printing an image that is only white you will need to set the Choke to 0 to prevent parts from
dropping out completely.
To set the choke value put a negative number in the Spread(+)/Choke(-) box. The value must be negative
to reduce the number of pixels. If a positive value is given the white under base will print larger.
