Right click on the Garment Creator icon to launch the program.
The Garment Creator workstation will open up.
On the right side of the window is the presets tab. You can scroll up and down within this tab to select a preset, or you can create a new preset with custom settings.
Next, you will want to open your design. Click on "File" and select "Open." You can print any raster image.
For the highest quality results it is recommended to use a .tiff file type with at least 300 DPI.
Navigate to your image file, click on the file and select "Open."
The program will open your image and place it within the center of the garment. Using the anchors at each corner you can resize the image.
The sample image has a white border. You can print the white border, or you can navigate to the "Color Replacement" tab and select "Transparent."
Click on the white border and the program will automatically remove any pixels with the same color profile in the surrounding area.
You can skip this step by editing the media in Adobe Photoshop prior to importing it into Garment Creator. Adobe Photoshop is a more accurate photo editor, but Garment Creator is straightforward and easy to use.
Within the "Layout Settings" tab you can rotate, flip, and scale your design. While in this tab you can also chose the size of your platen.
Make sure the Epson SC F2100 is powered on before you continue.
