Re: DTF - White in GY R

Hello,
currently we have an experimental beta version of PrintFab Windows with support for DTF printing, the download link is available on request.
Unfortunately there is no such preliminary version available for Mac yet, I hope it will be available in the second half of 2024.

Re: Epson SC-P700 and Canon PRO-300 printers

Hello, with both printers TurboPrint produces a printed output that is almost identical to the manufacturer's Windows printer driver. This is because the printer receives a "page bitmap" and controls ink usage (grey and other special inks, chroma optimizer) within the printer firmware. The...

Re: Canon Pro-1000 & XL print

Hello, I think it is a problem with a specific custom page size. The limit in the Canon Windows driver is 432mm if the units are set to "metric".
Can you please retry with a print width of 43.20cm and let me know if this solves the problem?
