FastARTIST and FastRIP
Not only do the printer and ink makes the T-Jet Blazer
Series Printers so unique, but also the software that drives
them. As mentioned earlier, your printer comes with two
very powerful programs called FastARTIST and FastRIP.
FastARTIST is a complete graphics program much like
CorelDRAW and Adobe Photoshop. You can use it for all
of your graphic image creation or 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.
FastRIP
FastRIP is a driver specically designed for Inkjet-to-Garment printers like your T-Jet Blazer Series
printer. A RIP converts the data from a graphics program to computer code called Postscript. This
powerful language allows much more control over a printer, making the following possible:
Previewing printable images
•
Control over the amount of ink used•
Faster print speeds compared to a •
standard printer driver
FastRIP is extremely easy to use and is almost
transparent when working with the Fast T-Jet Blazer
Express.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important to have a basic knowledge of both
FastARTIST and FastRIP. Although the manuals may
seem very large, don’t be concerned by the size. You do not
need to know everything to get started.
