Workflows
Use the supported Epson original or Hoson-class / custom route.
For DTF, print white over color; for DTG, print color over white; UV may use either order according to the material.
Production flow
- Confirm the printer and connection; verify channel mapping; select ink and print quality.
- Open or import the project or artwork, then confirm pages, layout, and process settings.
- Check resolution, media, color, white ink, mirror, layer order, and destination.
- Print a small sample and verify color, white coverage, position, and media feed.
- After approval, send production output or save PRN.
Stop for missing calibration
A preset name does not guarantee arbitrary hardware, ink, or media.
DTF preflight and sample checklist
- DTF prints white over color.
- Use a matching DTF profile; support does not cover arbitrary hardware, ink, or film.
- Match transfer film, printer, ink, media, and the selected profile.
- Check mirror, layer order, white ink, and physical channel mapping.
- Print a sample and inspect color, white coverage, position, and media feed.
- Perform powdering, baking, and heat pressing outside Yink Studio under the device and material process.
DTG preflight and sample checklist
- DTG prints color over white.
- Use a matching DTG profile; support does not cover arbitrary garment hardware.
- Match the garment or media, printer, ink, and quality configuration.
- Check placement, output direction, white ink, choke, layer order, and physical channels.
- Set mirror only when required by the actual process and current configuration.
- Print a sample and verify color, white coverage, position, and media feed.
UV preflight and sample checklist
- UV may use either white over color or color over white.
- Use a matching UV profile; support does not cover arbitrary UV hardware or substrates.
- Match printer profile, substrate, ink, ICC, job, and resolution.
- Check white ink, layer order, mirror, substrate placement, page size, and direction.
- Print a calibration sample and verify color, white coverage, position, and media feed.
- Perform curing and safety operations outside Yink Studio under the device and material process.
Path boundaries
| Path | Feathering |
|---|---|
| Epson original | Yink Studio when the driver and DPI support it |
| Hoson-class / custom | Hoson controller |
Projects store preset differences and layout, not a portable hardware snapshot. After changing printers or losing a queue, reselect compatible presets and output, then validate a sample.
