EXPRESS PRODUCTION DTF Transfer - By the Metre
€16.00 per piece

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.
Product information "EXPRESS PRODUCTION DTF Transfer - By the Metre"
Express DTF transfer by the metre, 600 x 1000 mm
An express metre of DTF transfer is designed for time-critical runs and larger collections of designs. On the 600 mm wide roll, you place designs in different print sizes, and everything is delivered in one piece as a single continuous sheet. This is particularly useful when workwear has to be ready at short notice, when an event order is due or when a repeat run includes several designs.
EXPRESS PRODUCTION! Please also select express shipping in the basket! Same-day dispatch requires both: express shipping booked and the cut-off time met.
Cut-off times (German time): We make sure your shipment is dispatched on time. From you, we need two things: payment that arrives in time and error-free print files. Faulty files or late or incomplete payments may delay dispatch, so please allow for this. For everything to run smoothly, your payment and error-free print files must be received by 11:00 at the latest. If you order up to 10 metres, the file cut-off is 14:00.
- Express by the metre in 600 x 1000 mm
- High-resolution CMYK print plus white
- From a single piece, with tiered prices
- For 100 per cent cotton and cotton blends with at least 70 per cent cotton
- Print-ready single page, no Pro File Check
Preparing film by the metre for express
Set up the file at 600 x 1000 mm or use the working file under Template. Remove the guide layers before exporting. We recommend 300 dpi and ISO Coated v2 (ECI) as settings; backgrounds should be transparent and lines at least 0.4 mm thick. Do not mirror the gang sheet. You can use ordinary colour gradients, but a gradient into full transparency will not work because of the white underbase. Your files must come to us ready for production, as there is no Pro File Check here.
Upload, deadlines and delivery
Drag and drop single pages as PDF or PNG into the upload; several files are possible and each gets its own quantity. Once you have checked your selection, it goes into the basket and you complete the payment. If your order, payment and error-free files are all with us by 11:00, the roll goes through production on the same working day, and with express shipping it goes out the same day. For up to 10 metres in total, files are accepted until 14:00.
A single file can be up to 500 MB. If your PDF contains several pages or something else is wrong with the file, we will contact you by email. You can then send us the corrected single page by email. Delivery is faster if you also book DHL Express or UPS Express. How long the parcel then takes is up to the shipping carrier.
