Fast T-Jet Blazer Express User’s Manual

called a RIP (Raster Image Processor.) This software tells the machine what

image resolution to use, how many passes of each color to make, when and

how to print the Underbase and Highlight and how much ink to lay down. To

do all of this for you, we have included with your printer package our own very

special RIP program called FastRIP.

For best results, turn OFF all Screen Savers when printing.

Note: For information about installing and using FastARTIST and FastRIP, consult

the FastARTIST User’s Manual.

and Adobe Photoshop. You can use it

you can create images in CorelDRAW

or Adobe Photoshop and import them

into FastARTIST to take advantage of the

one-click Underbase Wizard or simple clipping options.
