UV DTF Standard Rub-On Designer

2 correction rounds The Pro File Check does not include any design work. The file check does not apply to Designer products and express products. The Pro File Check cannot be ordered on its own, i.e. without the associated product order, because we would then have no file to check. If an order contains only the file check, we therefore have no choice but to cancel it. If you would like to add the check afterwards, this must be agreed with our support team.  Not sure whether your uploaded files are set up correctly? Or would you simply like us to check them again? No problem. The Pro File Check is exactly what you need! If we find something in your files that is not right, they will not go to print as they are. Instead, we will contact you and tell you what needs to be adjusted. What we check: Format: Are your files set up in the format you ordered? Colour: Are your files set up in CMYK? Is the correct colour profile embedded?  Is the main transparency set up correctly? In other words, we check that the gang sheet is not completely covered by an area of colour. This only refers to the main transparency of the sheet, not the transparencies within the graphics, because we cannot judge whether they are intended If your files do not meet our requirements, the production and delivery time of your DTF transfers may be extended or postponed by the time it takes for the new files to arrive.

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. 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 values of the textile chart do not apply here. 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 set includes You will receive 10 colour charts in A3 format, with 964 colour swatches in CMYK spread across them. Each swatch shows the matching CMYK value, which you can enter directly into your print file. The charts are produced in the glossy UV DTF Standard version. We produce matt and transparent on request. 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 set 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. 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.
