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.
FastARTIST and FastRIP
What makes the Fast T-Jet Blazer Pro so
unique is not only the printer and ink,
but also the software that drives it. As
mentioned earlier, your printer comes with
two very powerful programs – 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
FastRIPisadriverspecicallydesignedfor
Inkjet-to-Garment printers like your Fast
T-Jet Blazer Pro. 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 Pro.
