EXPRESS PRODUCTION DTF Transfer - 600 x 500 mm

Colour-accurate printing instead of guessing on screen
Your screen glows, a printed textile does not. A monitor mixes colour from light, whereas a DTF transfer mixes it from pigment that sits on the fabric. That is exactly why a shade on the shirt almost always looks different from how it looked on the computer. What you get here is therefore not a screen sample or a paper sample, but a real printed DTF transfer.
The set consists of 10 colour charts in A3 format. Spread across these charts are 964 colour swatches, each labelled with its CMYK value underneath. This means colour matching happens before production, including any adjustments, rather than as a correction after the first proof.
How to get from the colour swatch to your print file
On the pressed chart, pick out the swatch that matches the shade you want, note the CMYK value underneath and enter it in your print file. Set up the file in the CMYK colour space with ISO Coated v2 (ECI) as the colour profile, as this is our standard for DTF transfers. That way, the result is clear before your first file even reaches us, and a repeat order ends up in the same shade as the first one. You will find everything about setting up files in the FAQ.
- Press the charts onto black textiles
- Judge the shade on the pressed print, not on screen
- Note the CMYK value on the swatch
- Enter this value in your own file
- Keep the chart for later approvals and repeat orders
Why the background should be black
Please always press the colour charts onto black textiles so that you get the best colour perception. Every DTF transfer has a white base layer that separates the design from the fabric. Against a black background, the opacity shows in full and the colour impression stays true, because no light fabric shows through and lifts the shade. We explain how the individual layers are built up under DTF transfers.
Who benefits from the set
The chart helps wherever a shade has to be fixed reliably: for company and club colours, for runs that are reordered again and again over months, and for customers who expect to approve the colours before printing. Instead of a vague description, you then have a colour swatch with a clear CMYK value on the table.
You will receive 10 colour charts in A3, printed as DTF transfers.
Colour charts are excluded from complaints. This does not apply to defective colour charts.
Sample Pack All in One: test DTF, UV DTF and sublimation before you order
How a print feels, how sharp its edges are and how well it covers only becomes clear on the finished print, not on screen. That is why the Sample Pack contains test prints of our products and other prints, so you can feel the differences for yourself before you place your first larger order.
These samples are included
- Test print with DTF standard adhesive
- Test print with DTF Blockout adhesive
- Mini colour chart as a sample
- UV DTF standard print as a sample
- UV DTF print in matt as a sample
- UV DTF print in transparent as a sample
- Sublimation print as a sample
Standard and Blockout in direct comparison
For cotton and cotton blends, the DTF standard adhesive is intended. The Blockout adhesive was developed for dyed polyester textiles and holds back dyes that could otherwise migrate into light areas of the design under the heat of the press. The surest way to tell which adhesive suits which textile is to lay both samples side by side and feel them yourself. You will find the details under DTF transfers.
UV DTF in three finishes
The pack contains three versions of UV DTF: Standard is opaque and glossy, Matt has a more understated surface, and Transparent has no white print, so the surface shows through the design. The quickest way to find out which one suits your material is to place the samples on the surface you want to decorate, i.e. on the glass, metal or plastic. More details under UV DTF transfers.
How to go about testing
First, go through the samples by hand and pay attention to how they feel and how the edges look. In the second step, press one of them with your own press onto a textile that you sell yourself. The test piece then goes in the wash, following the care instructions of the textile and ideally over several cycles, so that you can judge colour fastness and edges after washing too. You will find everything about application in the FAQ.
Always do the test on an offcut and never on a finished item from a customer order.

The template for the 600 x 500 mm sheet
In the Template tab, you will find the matching file, and the final size of 600 x 500 mm stays the same. Delete all guide layers before exporting. We recommend 300 dpi and ISO Coated v2 (ECI), plus transparent backgrounds and print elements no thinner than 0.4 mm. Send the file unmirrored and completely print-ready, as there is no Pro File Check with express.
Several designs in one express order
Using the multi-upload, drag and drop individual PDF or PNG pages and set a separate quantity for each file. Then add the configuration to your basket. If your complete order, payment and error-free files are with us by 11:00, your order goes into production on the same working day. For a total quantity of up to 10 metres, we accept files until 14:00.
The upper limit is 500 MB per file. If there are multi-page PDFs or other file errors, you will receive an email from us. You can send us a new file by email, but printing only starts once the files are correct. If you want the shipment to arrive on the next working day if possible, also book DHL Express or UPS Express.
