5.4 Choke
Combats the phenomena that when printing the White ink Underbase onto a garment the garment will
expand and swell. This is the same for any type of garment printing including screen printing. The Choke
setting slightly reduces the outside dimensions of the Underbase so that white ink does not appear
outside the prints edges of the final color pass. Under the Choke setting use the default value of 2 on a
full size print, you will lower this if your image is small. If you see any white around the edges of your
final print you will want to increase the choke value.
Choke Needed
If you are printing an image that is only white you will need to set the Choke to 0 to prevent parts from
dropping out completely.
