Fixing Bad Line-Art in Photoshop and FastARTIST
You may also use a bitmap editing program
to improve the quality of line-art. Earlier we

Bysimplyupsamplingaletoamuchhigher
resolution you will have less of a jagged
effect, but a softer edge. For Black and
White images, you will want to upsample
and then apply a Tone Curve to make
edges Black and White without any “gray”
areas. This process is available in FastARTIST,
Photoshop, CorelDRAW and Adobe
Illustrator.

the image is to be printed. This will then determine if the image background
needs to be transparent, White, Black, or in some cases both Black and White.
For Light colored garments, the Fast T-Jet Blazer Pro will print the image just as it
appears, but it does not print the White. Printing in color without an Underbase is
the easiest form of garment printing.
If you require White in the image, it will be necessary to Underbase the image.
Therefore, Dark colored garments will always require an Underbase that allows
the colors to “stand off” the garment.
