Hi,

Could you please supply the image you're using?

I think you may be trying to save it as a jpeg, you'll need to save it as a .png to keep the transparency of a background then it will print without any white.

File > save as > Save file type: PNG (*.PNG*.PNS)

What substrate are you printing on – something transparent?

If so does the printer have an additional white color?
