Use [ Brother GT-782 FileOutput ] printer driver for making print data "arp file". You can copy it to CompactFlash (CF card) and load it from the menu. GT-782 can load an arp file in subfolders. (GT-541 can only load from top directory.) Select "FileOutput" printer
driver as shown below:
|
Example: CorelDRAW X3 Print menu
|
The functions of GT File Viewer are very very useful, for example whether or not you forget to change RGB=255 white to RGB=254, or you can check unnecessary white caused by anti-alias, drop-shadow, gradation, etc. Personally I do not use "direct-to-printer-by-USB"
GT-782 Printer Driver any more. FileOutput Printer Driver can reduce a lot of mis-prints.
If you heavily use the printer driver advance menu, e.g. transparent color and tolerance, be sure to check before you print.

GT File Viewer can indicate 3 types of arp files: GT-541 data, GT-782 data without white (Color only) and with white (Color + White, White Only). Check the information in the orange rectangles.

It is quite normal for the print data without white ink. But you can do a lot with the print data with white ink!
Click the [ Change ] button at the right bottom. You can change the background color so that you can check before printing on a different garment color! For example, if you want to print on a dark brown T-shirt, then click [ Change ] and select your color to click
[ define custom colors ]. This user interface is windows default.

Selecting "background" preview color
|
Change to "background" preview color, e.g. R=128, G=64, B=64
|
Simulation printed on dark brown garment (R=128, G=64, B=64)

Or you can check by intuition if a print file is "print with black ink" or not.

Check the dog nose!

Check the print file before you print! Some bitmap data (mainly compressed jpg file) has lots of ariasing (staircasing) and jaggy dots.
