3-3-7. Opening the Useful Tools
Useful Tools are installed in "Useful Tools“ in "Brother GT-3 Tools”.
Color Palettes for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and CorelDRAW
Color Palettes "GT_Colors_T.aco" for Adobe Photoshop, "GT_Colors_T.ai" for Illustrator, "GT_Colors.cpl" and
"GT_Tshirts.cpl" for CorelDRAW are available. The colors are the same in GT Color Chart "ColorChart_1200.ar3" and
"ColorChart_600.ar3" in "Test Data“ in "Brother
GT-3 Tools". Print Color Chart to check the colors that your Printer actually
provides as color formula guide. (CorelDRAW does not allow to put the same colors in one color palette so we provide two
different color palettes.)
(1) Select [All Programs] on [Start] menu of your PC..
(2) Select "Useful Tools“ in "Brother GT-3 Tools”.
(3) Click the files you want to download as indicated.
(4) To use Color Palettes in the applications, see "4-2. Setting the Applications’ Print Condition" in the Instruction Manual or
refer to the Help of the applications.
Printing Grid data on the Platen Sheet
(1) Select "Useful Tools“ in "Brother GT-3 Tools”.
(2) Double-click the Grid print data that fits the Platen size (e.g. Grid14x16.ar3) and send it to the printer.
(3) Print the data on the Platen directly, with no T-shirt on. Touch the surface with paper or cloth to dry the ink after printing.
<Note>
Print on a new Platen Sheet when you exchange to a new one.
Photoshop Action Files
There are two Action Files available: "SolidWhite.atn" (see "4-2-3. Settings for Adobe Photoshop" in the Instruction Manual.) to
change RGB=255 white to RGB=254 white, and "TransLayer.atn" (see "4-3-13. Printing the image file on Transparent Layer"
in the Instruction Manual.) to get the Transparent Info from the image. These action file s will save your time. See the
Photoshop Help for further information.
