You need to make each individual object in your vector art software 100% CMYK. This is the easiest to do when you are creating the artwork from scratch. A color rich black is a black color produced by using 100% color for each of the CMYK channels in the printer. One of the best things you can do to make your film positives darker when you do not use RIP software and the inkjet ink cartridges in your inkjet printer are all still CMYK is to produce a color rich black. If you already have an inkjet film you like, you should be able to improve the quality of the finished film positive by following these tips. It is possible to get a better result with a water proof inkjet film like the type I offer on the ecommerce store. These are not water proof however they perform very well. The first thing you can do is use a high quality inkjet film like the Catspit’s Super Inkjet Film Positives. But if you don’t have RIP software or you output directly from Illustrator, what can you do to make your film positives more dense and much darker? The RIP software allows the user to output dark, dense films as well as films with halftones or other dot patterns. RIP software is used to output artwork in the form of inkjet film positives for making screens when screen printing garments. Many people who are just beginning in screen printing tee shirts or other textiles often cannot afford to purchase RIP software.
