The quality of your digital artwork will determine the quality of your positive.

The artwork should have smooth lines and edges and be of adequate

resolution. A minimum of 720 dpi is recommended (1440 dpi is ideal for line

art).To prevent ‘undercutting during UV exposure’ we recommend you mirror

image (flip) your image in your application software. This will result in the ink

being in contact with the resist when the printed image is turned the correct

way round ready for exposure to UV.

2. Load the film into the printer. Load the film into the printer. Load the film into the printer.

Make sure the coated side of the film is the side you print on. To assist in

determining the coated side it has a milky, matte appearance, and a slightly

wet fingertip touched on the corner of the coating will result in the finger

sticking to the film, more so with the Premium Film rather than the Standard.

3. Check printer settings. Check printer settings. Check printer settings.

Make sure printer is set for the highest resolution and print quality, with High

Speed Setting OFF. Note that the higher the resolution, the slower the print.

Next, set the Media Setting to Matte, Heavyweight Matte, Archival Matte or

Inkjet Backlight Film. For Epson Ink Jet Printers, set the Brightness control

slider to +25 and always print in Black Ink only or Greyscale. Options will vary

based on printer and software available. Then, set ink deposit for optimum

results.

4. Print.

JetStar films dry almost instantaneously. With most inks, the positive will be

dry and ready for use in less than two minutes. Drying times will vary based

on printers, inks and conditions.

Note: Always make sure positive is completely dry before using. Transfer or

marring of image can occur if used before completely dry
