The Design canvas

Every tool, right where you will find it.

These are the Design canvas’s two toolbars, drawn from the app itself: the rail down the left and the floating bar across the top. Point at any tool and it tells you what it does, in the app’s own words. Pick one on the rail and it glows red, just as it does in the app.

UPrint Design RIP · the whole window, nothing hidden

The same window, a traced design on the page. Every piece of it is its own shape in Layers, ready to recolour, reshape or move, and the printing side is one step away: Print check, the garment preview and Save PDF sit beside the canvas.

The job, step by step

From the customer’s file to the printed sheet.

  1. 1Get the fileDrop in what the customer sent, scan it, or make it with AI.
  2. 2Clean it upCut the background out, then refine the edge by hand.
  3. 3Too small? UpscaleMake it 2 to 4 times bigger and keep it sharp.
  4. 4Make it a vectorTrace it to clean curves you can edit.Design RIP
  5. 5Change the coloursSwap a colour, or show the customer the options.
  6. 6Fill the sheetAs many as fit, laid out for you.
  7. 7Check it, print itProblems, white and cost first. Every job is kept.
Step 1 · Get the file

Scan a drawing

Paint it by hand. Print it on anything.

If you paint, draw or letter by hand, you do not have to learn to do it again on a screen. Put the work on the glass and scan it straight into the app. Everything below is one real card, scanned on a Canon flatbed, taken all the way through.

A hand painted card of pink flowers in a striped vase on a blue ground, inside a yellow and pink patterned border, as it came off the scanner glass with a white margin down the right side and along the bottom
1 · Straight off the glass · 215.9 x 296.9 mm (8.5 x 11.7 in) at 300 dpi
The crop tool open over the scanned card, with an angle dial set to zero degrees and Reset, Apply crop and Cancel buttons
2 · Frame it, and turn the angle dial if it went on crooked
The same card after the crop: the white glass margin is gone and shows as the transparency checkerboard, and the artwork fills the frame ready to print
3 · Cropped, the glass margin gone, ready for the sheet

Straight off the glass

The scanner is a tab in the app, not a separate program. Your machine appears in the list when it is switched on, you pick the quality, and the page arrives at its real size in millimetres rather than a guess.

Crop and straighten in one step

Art never lands square on a scanner. Frame it at its own angle and the app gives you a straight image in one go, instead of crop, rotate, crop again.

Then clean it up

Knock the paper white out, clean the edges, lift the contrast, and see it on the product colour before you commit a sheet.

In both editions

Studio RIP has the scanner too. Bringing a customer’s artwork in off the glass is not a design job, it is a Tuesday.

Step 1 · Or make it: AI image generation, built in

Both editions · your own OpenAI or Grok key

AI image generation, built in

Type it. Print it.

Describe the idea. Pick a print style and the app adds the print know-how for you: flat colours, clean outlines, halftone, a plain background. Then drop it on your canvas and print it.

Watercolour print style: King protea flower with a malachite sunbird
Comic print style: Astronaut floating in space shouting "NO WI-FI?!", pop-art halftone dots
Anime print style: Samurai cat holding a katana in front of a giant red rising sun
Ready

Twelve real pictures from the AI Image pane of UPrint Design RIP 1.3.27, made at Best on the owner's own OpenAI key. Each took 102 to 134 seconds in the app; the pane above plays faster. Tap any picture to see its words and its style.

Twelve print styles

Bold vector, line art, sticker, tee graphic, badge, distressed, photo, cinematic, animated, anime, comic, watercolour. Pick the one that prints.

Comes out cut out

Turn on Cut-out ready and the background is gone before you see it. No knocking out a white box by hand on a dark shirt.

Feed it a logo

Add a reference image and the AI redraws from it, so a customer’s own logo can steer the result instead of being described in words.

You own the account

It runs on your own OpenAI or Grok key, so you pay them directly. With OpenAI it is about 1 to 17 cents an image, by the speed you pick, and the app shows that cost before you spend it. We do not mark it up or meter you.

Step 2 · Clean it up

Auto cut-out: remove the background

The box behind the logo, gone.

A customer sends a logo sitting on a solid square. Printed on a dark shirt that square is a slab of toner you paid for and nobody wanted. Two ways to get rid of it, and you pick whichever suits the file in front of you.

The design canvas with a bold vector tiger illustration still sitting on its solid blue background
Before · solid blue background
The same tiger on the design canvas after the AI cut-out, the blue gone and the transparency checkerboard showing through, with the teal star behind the tiger kept and the whiskers intact
After · one click, checkerboard means transparent

Let it cut itself out

One button: Auto cut-out on the design canvas, AI cut-out in the Prepare panel. It works out what the subject is and takes everything else away, including the gaps inside letters and handles if you ask it to keep the holes. Best for photographs and messy edges.

Or pick the colour yourself

Pick a colour to remove, in the same bar. Point at the background with the eyedropper and set how far the match should reach and how soft the edge should be. Exact, repeatable, and better than the AI on a flat brand colour.

Cut-out

Step 2 · Watch the page go

Square in. Shape out.

The checkerboard is transparency, so on a dark shirt there is no slab of toner around the design, and the gaps inside letters stay gaps.

Step 2

Refine edges

Then paint the last five percent by hand.

The Refine cut-out workspace open over a tiger illustration, with Keep, Remove, Soft edge and Cut line modes, a brush size slider, live result and snap to edges, and red brush strokes marking the background to be removed
Refine cut-out, running in UPrint Studio RIP · red marks what goes

No automatic cut-out is perfect on hair, fur or a soft edge. Refine opens its own workspace over the artwork: Keep and Remove brushes, a Soft edge that fades a hard cut to clear, and a Cut line you place by clicking points. Snap to edges follows the artwork for you, and the result updates live as you mark.

It is not a preview and it is not a mask you have to keep managing. What you paint is written back as full resolution artwork, so the thing you print is the thing you fixed.

Keep and remove

Brush back a strand the cut-out ate, or wipe out the bit it kept.

Soften the edge

Fade a hard cut so it does not read as a sticker on the garment.

In both editions

Refine edges sits in Studio's Quick Fixes and on the Design canvas. Nobody has to upgrade to tidy an edge.

Upscale
Step 3 · When the file is too small

AI upscale

Blurry in. Sharp out.

Upscale makes the picture 2 to 4 times bigger and adds detail, so it stays sharp at print size. Then trace it, and the curves come out cleaner too.

What the app says, in its status bar

Upscaled 4× - the print gets sharper, not bigger.

Step 4 · Make it a vector

Trace to vector

The file you were sent, as clean curves.

Trace to vector inside the software, side by side: the original artwork with its yellow background on the left, the traced version on the right with the background knocked out to transparent, scoring 74 percent of the fine detail kept, 191 curves, 3099 points and five colours
Real screen · left is your file, right is the trace with the background already knocked out

Left is the file the customer sent. Right is what came back: clean shapes, and the paper behind the artwork already gone, so it will not print as a block of toner around the design.

Make Vector

What comes back

Pieces, not a picture.

Each shape is its own object, stacked in the order they print. Drag one aside and the shape underneath is whole.

Step 4 · Node level editing

Node editing

A real drawing board, not a hobby toy.

A traced logo does not arrive as one flat lump. It comes in as its parts, each one its own shape with its own colour. Zoom in and every curve is yours: drag a node, turn a corner into a curve, delete the one that should not be there.

The design canvas zoomed into a traced illustration, every curve showing its editable node handles, with the node editing bar offering Corner or Smooth, Delete node, and Done
One traced part, 700 nodes, all of them yours

Pen and nodes

Draw from nothing, or reshape what the trace gave you. Corner or smooth, add or delete, on any curve.

Shaping

Weld, trim and intersect. Contour for a cut line or an outline. The tools a sign shop expects.

Cut line

Now follows the outside edge of the artwork by default. Tick Cut too and it also cuts round the holes, like the middle of an O.

Every part separate

Each traced colour lands as its own piece, so recolouring a customer’s logo is a click, not a redraw.

Free fonts

Get the free fonts puts the UPrint free font library straight into your font list. No unzipping.

Step 5

Change the colours

Swap a colour. Show them the options.

The file is clean and the right size. Now make it the customer’s colours, in the same window, before anything is laid out or printed.

Recolour

Swaps one colour in the artwork for another across the whole image. The customer wants navy, not black: one click.

Design canvas · Recolour

Colour versions

Makes several recoloured copies of the design and lays them out beside the original, so the customer can see them together and pick one.

Design canvas · Colour versions

A traced logo recolours part by part

Every traced colour lands as its own piece, so changing one colour of a customer’s logo is a click, not a redraw.

Palette: multi-colour halftone

Pop-art dots, in any colours you like.

Palette turns the whole picture into bold, hard dots, the comic-book look. Keep the picture’s own colours, pick one of 40 colour sets, or choose your own 2 to 6 colours. The gaps are real holes, so the shirt shows through.

This is the app’s own Palette code, running in your browser on a 10 cm (3.9 in) wide print. Drag the gold knob out for bigger dots, in for smaller, round to turn them, the same as in the app, UPrint 1.3.42.

  1. 1In the Halftone bar, pick Palette.

  3. 3Drag the gold knob on the picture: out for bigger dots, round to turn them. Then press Apply.

Close-ups in Original colours: only the dot setting changes from shirt to shirt. Each is a photo of plain shirt fabric with the print laid on. Every dot was made by the app’s own halftone engine (version 1.3.42) at the real print size, 22 to 26 cm (8.7 to 10.2 in) wide. Tap a shirt to see it bigger.

Every dot here was made by UPrint Design RIP 1.3.40. The close-ups are cut straight from the file it saved, then saved as WebP for this page. Every picture was made with the app’s own AI image tool and upscaled in the app first; the flower picture and the lion were also cut out in the app. The shirt colour is only the background on this page.

Step 6 · Fill the sheet in one click

Fill the sheet: step and repeat

As many as fit, in one click.

Set the gap you want between copies, press Fill the page, and it works out how many fit and lays them out. Or set the grid yourself with Step and repeat. The expensive part of a transfer is the sheet, so the money is in how little of it you waste.

An A4 page in the design canvas filled with six copies of the same traced artwork in two columns and three rows, with the Repeat panel open showing a 15 mm (0.6 in) gap across and 10 mm (0.4 in) down

Same sheet, same one press. Six above, thirty here, because this design is smaller. You do not count them and you do not lay them out.

Step 7

Check it, then print it

The problems, the white and the cost, before you press.

  1. 1

    Check it

    Check my design reads the whole design and lists anything that will give you trouble on the press: red is a problem, gold is a warning, and most lines come with a one click fix.

  2. 2

    See it, then print it

    Set how much white goes under the colour, per job. How it will print shows your design beside what this press will put on cloth, before you use any paper.

  3. 3

    Know the cost

    Every job lands in the Queue Manager with its cost, worked out from your own cartridge prices in Cost settings. Quote from a number, not a feeling.

  4. 4

    Keep the history

    Every job you send stays in the Queue Manager: see what printed, reprint a past job, or find where its PDF was saved.

Step 7

White toner in your press

On most presses, white takes the black slot.

On the presses we drive, white is not an extra station. It takes the black one. One slot holds white or black, and you swap the cartridge to change which. On some machines there is no black toner in the building at all.

Four stations, one of them shared White or black. Never both at once. CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW WHITE OR BLACK one slot. you swap the cartridge. OKI Pro8432WT The OKI C711WT carries no black toner at all, so its blacks come from the colours What lands on a dark product White under the colour the dark product white goes first colour on top White over the colour the dark product colour goes first white on top No white at all the dark product colour, sunk in the sheet you throw away

That is real. No software removes it.

What we do is stop it being your problem. The white layer is built in software, per job, from your own artwork. You choose how much and whether it goes under the colour or over it, on screen, before a sheet moves.

And when white is sitting in the black slot, your blacks are built from the colours that are still loaded instead of the job failing. You set it once and get on with the day. You do not walk to the machine to change your mind.

White under the colour

For dark and clear products. The white goes down first so the colour has something to sit on.

White over the colour

For the jobs that need it. Same job, same screen, no trip to the machine.

Black without black toner

When white is in the black slot, your blacks come from the remaining colours rather than failing.

Step 7

Colour measured on a real press

Stock profiles are written for an offset press. Yours is not one.

Most RIP software for these machines hands your press a stock colour profile written for an offset printing press on coated paper. We ran all 21 CMYK profiles in the Windows colour store through the exact path the software would use, and read off what each one asks the press to lay down.

They all landed in the same place. Those profiles ask for 179 to 211 percent ink. Our environments do the same work on 81 to 89 percent. They are built for a press that keeps responding past 60 percent drive. These engines do not.

Roughly double the toner, for colour that is further away, on every sheet.

2×
the toner a stock offset profile asks for
21
stock CMYK profiles run, not assumed
What we are not claiming. That comparison is a calculation, not a print run, and it is built on measurements of our own engine. Your press is not our press. So we ship you the environment we measured, and we will sit on a call and check it against your own printed colour.
New in 1.3.42

Got your own ICC profile? Print with it. In the Print pane, Add colour profile loads your printer’s own CMYK profile. The colour comes from your profile, and the app still makes the white. Free, in both editions.

Find your printer

White toner, DTF and sublimation printers that print from UPrint today.

Which printers does it drive?

White toner printers

Both editions, Studio RIP and Design RIP. Most of these were discontinued years ago, and shops run them every day. Old is fine.

  • OKI
    • Pro8432WT
    • C711WTThe same machine as the ES7411WT and the Pro7411WT.
  • Converted machines
    • OKI C711, C712 and C833Converted to run white toner in the black slot, and others like them.

DTF printers

Roll DTF printers on a Hoson board. UPrint sends each job to PrintExp on your Windows PC, or on a Mac saves it for that PC. DTF runs on Design RIP with the DTF add-on: ask us to add it to your licence.

  • Epson XP600 heads
    • XP600 DTF printersCMYK and white. The head most start-up DTF shops begin with.
  • Epson i1600 heads
    • i1600 DTF printersCMYK and white. The faster head, for shops printing every day.

Sublimation printers

On their own Windows driver, in Studio RIP and Design RIP: add the RGB profile your ink maker supplies. On a PrintExp board, with the DTF add-on.

  • Own Windows driver
    • Sublimation printersAdd the RGB profile made for your printer, ink and paper (.icc or .icm).
  • PrintExp board
    • Sublimation printers with no whiteSet up from one chart print. Design RIP with the DTF add-on.

Do I need to own any printer to use the software?

No. Without a printer you can still use it to prepare artwork and export it: bring in the file, clean it up, lay out the sheet, then save it as a file. UPrint Studio RIP exports PDF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG and BMP. UPrint Design RIP lets you design the artwork too, and adds SVG, AI, EPS, PSD, DXF and WEBP.

Why would I switch from my old RIP to UPrint?

To save money, time and training, and to get a print that comes out right every time, without losing what works. For DTF, your colour and printer settings come with you from one print of our charts, and you try UPrint on your own printer for 7 days with no card. Why switch, in full, with a savings calculator.

Do I need to buy a UPrint printer as well?

No. If you already own a compatible press, the software is sold on its own and works with the press you have.

What happens after I pay?

You get an order code and a download link. Install, enter the code, and it activates itself on that computer. Your colour environment installs with it, so there is nothing to load by hand.

How many computers?

Two. One order code runs on two computers in your business, and you can reinstall on them any time with the same code. A free trial runs on one computer. If a machine dies or you replace it, send us your order code and we will move you across.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Download the free trial and the full software runs for 7 days on your own computer. No card is needed. Not a cut down demo, the same build the paying customers get.

If I pay monthly, can I switch to owning it later?

Yes. Buy the once off whenever it suits you and the monthly stops. Nothing on your computer changes and no work has to move.
