STEP 1 Print on the Film Recommended ink settings: Ink settings may vary based on the design. Leave color multi-pass turned on for both CMYK and CMYK+W. CMYK only set the ink volume to 5 or 6, double print set to 0 and color multi-pass turned ON. 1.
CMYK+White, set the ink volume to 3 or 4 and turn on Eco Mode. Set the highlight anywhere from 3 to 5 and a mask of 1 to 2. Add a minimum whiteness of 1 to 3. Put film on the platen: The film will have a shiny side and a matte side. Always print on the matte side. With matte side face up, tape down the film to the platen to keep it from lifting or shifting during the printing process.

GP TIP: Several images can be placed on one sheet and then cut out to be applied to different style garments or objects. IMPORTANT: Avoid setting the ink volume to 6 or higher because colors, including reds and oranges, will puddle when the white ink is applied. NOTE ON TRANSPARENT FADES: Where the CMYK+White film print doesn’t do as well is in the transparent fade areas. One other drawback is the white ink takes on a slight grey tint and not an ultra-bright white. When printing an image that fades from solid to transparent, the area will appear slightly choppy.
