Direct to Film (DTF) is a printing method that involves printing a design onto a special type of film.  You then transfer the design onto the garment or fabric using a heat press. DTF printing is a relatively new technology that has become increasingly popular in recent years.  It offers several advantages over traditional printing methods.

Some of the benefits of DTF printing include the ability to print complex designs with high colour accuracy and detail.  The ability to print on a wide range of fabrics and materials, and the ability to print on both light and dark coloured garments.

To get started with DTF custom printing you’ll need to provide us with your design in a digital file format, such as a high-resolution PNG (300dpi) or vector file.  Also you will need to specify the size of the design.  Read our artwork specifications to ensure you upload quality images.

Balance Printables uses specialized DTF printers and inks to print the design onto the film.  When you get the transfers – pre press the garment, apply the film, and you’re done!

Overall, Direct to Film Custom Prints can be a great option for those looking to create high-quality, detailed custom designs on a variety of fabrics and materials.

CMYK, an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black), serves as the foundation of this colour chart. These four primary ink colours are combined in varying proportions to reproduce a wide spectrum of hues, tones, and shades. The synergy of these fundamental colours generates a gamut of possibilities, rendering this colour chart an indispensable tool for artists, graphic designers, and printers alike.

Spanning the visual spectrum, the colour chart encompasses a diverse array of hues, from the deepest velvety blacks to the most ethereal pastels. Each colour patch on the chart is meticulously printed using the CMYK inks, showcasing the delicate balance required to achieve accurate colour reproduction. From the vibrant warmth of crimson reds to the cool serenity of oceanic blues, each swatch encapsulates the subtle nuances inherent to the CMYK colour mode.

Designed explicitly for DTF printing, the colour chart optimizes the capabilities of this cutting-edge technology. DTF printing involves transferring ink directly onto a film, which is then heat-transferred onto the desired substrate. As such, the colour chart is calibrated to deliver true-to-life colour representation on the film, ensuring that the final print on fabric retains the envisioned vibrancy and fidelity.

The selection of over 150 colours reflects the exhaustive commitment to comprehensiveness. These colours span not only the visible spectrum but also gradients and tints that expand the possibilities of creative expression. For digital artists and designers, this chart serves as a trusty companion, enabling them to visualize, strategize, and fine-tune their artworks in alignment with the technical constraints and capabilities of DTF printing.

In conclusion, the CMYK colour chart, tailored for DTF printing, is a marvel of colour science and digital artistry. It encapsulates the synergy of colour theory, technology, and creative vision. This comprehensive palette of over 150 colours opens up avenues for digital artists to materialize their imagination with unparalleled precision and finesse, ensuring that their creations, when brought to life through DTF printing, remain faithful to their original intent.
