Most of the images I print are absolutely massive resolution and I get very nice dark crisp lines.įeedback? Email me at chess314 at Gmail dot com Also, sometimes what looks like bleeding is actually just a symptom of printing an image that is too low resolution. If you get bleeding make sure to use at least two layers of coating. Make sure to right click the image layer and rasterize it before hand. Then adjust the black level for black and gray tones. So the two things you'll want to adjust are (in Photoshop) Image->Adjustments->Brightness and ContrastĪnd Image ->Adjustments->Selective color. Compare any new images you print to the reference image and adjust the black and contrast until it matches and then you'll know your new image will print black correctly. Once you've done that then you can use that image as a reference image for anything else that you want to print. The idea is to set the contrast and black values in Photoshop, do a test print, see if it's black enough, then keep doing that until it looks good. Instead of calibrating the printer it's better to calibrate the images.

See 1) in common mistakes people make.Ī: This is the inkjet receptive coating. Without this layer darker inks would cake on the surface and bleed. Secondly, it acts as a porous layer that allows ink to seep into it.
Firstly, it acts an adhesive that allows the next layer to be applied without peeling off. Q: What is the purpose of the FolkArt Glass & Tile Medium ?Ī: There are two main reasons this layer is applied. A: This creates a hydrophobic layer that will prevent the card from warping after applying the next layers.
