You can print directly to FastRIP from your
favorite graphics application (if you are not
outputting an Underbase or Highlight White), or
you can print from within FastARTIST.
Ensure the image is the correct size and that
you have placed it in on a “Page” that is the
same size as the printable area.
The easiest way to get the correct print
placement is create a template for the size
and placement of the Shirtboard or use
FastARTIST and load a pre-made Template.
(Remember, you MUST use FastARTIST if you will
be printing with White ink. Refer to Chapter 7 of
this Manual and Chapter 9 of your FastARTIST Manual for more details.)
The Blazer Express will support a total printable area of 16” x 20” (41 cm x 51
cm).
Important Point
FastARTIST refers to its page dimensions in terms of width and “height.” For
purposes of printing a two-dimensional image on a garment or non-textile item,
be aware of the fact that “height” means the same thing as “length.”
