DTG Printing - Creating a White Under Base in Photoshop

[@philippehebert2634]

Very nice and helpful but could you give us settings to save png with the underbase?

[@bayramguv]

It's the best lesson for spotting

[@saidrambarran3974]

do you have a video for DTF underbase?

[@LucyLu70]

I tried multiple times and I couldn’t get the white under base to print at all any suggestions. Can I email you the design

[@scotchtape6263]

sir can i use this technique in white underbase for screen printing?

[@Seriouslyoverit24]

I wonder if this will help with printful's printing process or make it worse..

[@mikekir82]

Very nice and helpful tutorial, thanks! Just one question. When i drag the lightness channel to the original file i get an offset (up-down). Is there something i am doing wrong?

[@darrinplank]

I want to learn how to make artwork like that

[@DO-qx5zs]

I'm confused... is it for DTG or Screen Printing ? I have a M&R I-DOT and I want to have a white layer with slight choking and print over it with color in cmykwwww. All your answers look to redirect for screen printing...

[@RECUERDOS]

can i use this white underbase for dark shirts using cmyk?

[@Greatdanegraphicsart]

You can, but we don't recommend CMYK printing. You should use the simulated process printing.

[@RECUERDOS]

thanks for ur prompt reply bro! how to simulate colors? cmyk less work and colors right? but often fall into a mess. can u give some tips how to simulate colors? or should i use a separation software?

[@Greatdanegraphicsart]

Yes, you should use Separation Software. We have a free trial for Separation Studio on the website. You can try it out before investing. www.greatdanegraphics.com/screen-printing-spot-process-separation-studio

How do you save it with the Alpha Channel to TIFF,PNG?

[@Greatdanegraphicsart]

Save as a TIF file with a spot color alpha channel. It might be different depending on the RIP or printer used. Check with your manufacturer.

[@AbrahamIrawan]

thanks for your tutorial, what RIP software to print this? or directly from Photoshop?

[@Greatdanegraphicsart]

We recommend and use AccuRIP software. You can try a 14-day trial from our website. www.greatdanegraphics.com/screen-print-software-accurip

[@kennethscott9904]

Can you use this in the new Brother dtg-381 printers? Hadn't received ours yet,

[@Greatdanegraphicsart]

+KENNETH SCOTT Good Question Scott. This video is to show how it's done in Photoshop and is meant as a general response for all users. Most DTGs come with Software that can do this for you including Brother. Check with your rep and he should be able to point you in the right direction. If you don't get the detail you are looking for from your DTG software then this is a good place to refer back to. Jeff Morgenthaler Great Dane Graphics 800-829-0836 X705 [e-mail] @jmxseven

You won’t need to do this with your Brother printer; they have software that will take care of this for you.
