White ink print question

[krewdentials]

I have been testing my DTF P600 using Andy’s ink and film. And I wanted to see if anyone had an idea to make the white prints look more white. The white parts keep looking gray. I have attached a couple of pictures to see what you think.

Side note: the prints in the tests are purposely reversed so they don’t get confused with good product.

I also use a P600 from Andy. I use EK Print and these are some things I would look into. If you use something else, this may not be as helpful but I would still recommend looking into the equivalent settings in the program you use.

- Double check the colors in photoshop and ensure it is a true white and not actually grey.

- Try increasing the underbase % without it being so high that the ink runs off the film

- Try increasing the base % if it is less than 100%

- Try increasing the brightness in EK Print.

I have the same using acrorip.  Did you get any answers?  Thanks

I figured it out in my settings by turning the white ink up to 70% and making sure the ink is very well mixed. Also used highlight white at 100% on white only prints.
