Product information "UV DTF Colour Chart CMYK with 964 Colours"
The colour reference for glass, metal and plastic
On hard surfaces, the same colour value looks different every time. Metal with a glossy surface reflects light, a shade gets lost in dark plastic, and satin-finished glass scatters light in all directions. Printed swatches therefore show you what result UV DTF actually delivers before you commission a run.
NOTE: This colour chart is printed in the UV DTF Standard version. If you need it in matt or transparent, send us an email directly after your order, stating your order number and the version you want, to info@dtf-king.de. It is not intended for our other printing processes, as the colours turn out differently there.
You will receive the colour chart on a roll with 964 colour swatches in CMYK. Each swatch shows the matching CMYK value, which you can enter directly into your print file. The colour chart is produced in the glossy UV DTF Standard version. We produce matt and transparent on request.
Colour charts are excluded from complaints. This does not apply to defective colour charts.
Why there is a separate chart for UV DTF
A UV DTF transfer is not a transfer for textiles. What you have in front of you are self-adhesive rub-on stickers for smooth, firm surfaces. Instead of pressing it, you rub the design on and then remove the transfer film. The ink does not soak into any fibre; it sits as a layer on top of the material. That is why the same colour value can look slightly different here than on textiles, even though both charts have the same values. How the stickers are applied is explained under UV DTF transfers.
Which materials to use the chart for
- Glass and mirrors in clear and satin finish
- Brushed and painted metal
- Smooth plastic and varnished wood
- Ceramics and glazed surfaces
Place the chart directly on the material that will be printed later and look at it in daylight. How a value looks in the end only becomes clear on the real surface.
What the colour chart includes
All 964 colour values are also available for reference as a PDF download. However, only the printed chart is binding, because it is produced on our calibrated machines. Our article CMYK colour fan for DTF: colour chart with 964 colour values explains how to find your CMYK value with the colour chart and how to recreate gold, silver or neon.
How to keep the colour the same when reordering
Work in the CMYK colour space in your file and set the ISO Coated v2 (ECI) colour profile. This is our standard profile for DTF and UV DTF transfers. If you enter the value from the swatch exactly, the shade of a repeat order will turn out just like the first order. You will find everything about setting up files in the FAQ.
The colour chart is suitable for textile printers adding hard surfaces to their range, for the sign-making trade and for businesses whose fixed customer colours need to stay the same across several orders.
