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
