I've done probably 50 t-shirt designs over the years, and have always represented any white ink areas with a magenta spot color and a note in the files that that is to be printed white (similar to how I would draw die lines or perf lines in a non-printing spot color and mark as die or perf).
However, I'll be working with a new printer in the coming weeks and figured I should probably already know how it is officially done if I'm not doing it correctly already. I've never had any issue doing it this way, but I'm curious if there is a better, more accepted way of doing this.
So, design community, how are you preparing your files when using white ink?
