Hi
I have a file question.
There is a site that i use for producing logos that i print onto 
substrates such as garments.
You can download them as PNG files for DTG printing.
I always put a tranparency around them so i can upload them onto mock up 
garments like the blue hoodie i have included as an example.
But when i import the file into easysign and send it to my digital 
transfer printer which is another way of printing dark/coloured shirts, 
its a white ink Oki A3 printer.
It puts white ink behind the image, you heat press a b page which is a 
glue which is activated when you heat press it.
The Forever Rip for the oki prints them fine but they come out small as 
there is a huge transparent margin around the image and i cant resize it 
in that rip.
But i can print to the oki direct from easysign.
Its great with eps files.
ut when i import one of these files into easy sign, and i print it on 
the oki, it prints a great big white square around the image.
Please can you explain to me why and what i need to do to iether stop it 
or get rid of it please
Thanks

Hi Steve,

You can use the transparacy of the PNG file as a mask for the bitmap. The steps are as follows:

1. Import the PNG file into EasySIGN

2. Select the PNG file and convert the tranparency to mask (menu: Bitmap > Transparency > To Mask)

The transparency is now masked around the bitmap shape instead of the square shape.

Have an easy day!
