Use the recommended ink channel mapping from the selected printer profile.
DTF prints white over the colored artwork, creating a white underbase only in the print area; unprinted areas remain transparent.
DTG prints color over the white layer.
UV layer order can be white over color or color over white, depending on the process.

Is the preset channel mapping required?

It is the recommended mapping for the selected printer profile; verify physical ink channels before production.

Where does Feathering run?

Software Feathering is for supported Epson original printers. Hoson-class Feathering runs on the Hoson controller.

Which production processes are covered?

Supported profiles prepare DTF, DTG, and UV output with process-appropriate white ink and layer order.

Choose white placement with the print process in mind, including transparent non-print areas and either UV layer order.

Streaming output sends prepared rows while the rest of the job is still processing, reducing the wait before printing starts.
