🧠 Why you need it

Screens lie. Printed swatches don't.

Your monitor displays color in RGB — light mixed on a screen. DTF prints in CMYK, a subtractive model that filters light from a white backdrop. That mismatch is exactly why the color you approve on screen isn't always the color that comes off the press. This chart closes the gap.

Every Pantone (PMS) swatch printed in the same DTF process your transfers use — not simulated on a screen
Bridges the RGB (screen) to CMYK (print) gap that causes color surprises
Compare, select, and adjust colors to hit the exact shade you're after
Large 22" × 60" format is easy to read, hang, and share
Communicate exact PMS references with clients and your team
Cuts down on costly reprints and color disputes

🛠️ How to use it

Getting the most from your chart

Pick from the printed chart

Choose your color from the physical swatches, not from your monitor.

Note the CMYK / PMS values

Use the chart's general CMYK values and PMS references as your starting point.

Build artwork in CMYK

Create your design directly in CMYK mode for the best accuracy.

Sample critical colors

If a color has to be exact, run a small sample before a full production order.

⚠️ Good to know

Before you buy

🖥️

Screen vs print

On-screen RGB color won't match printed CMYK exactly — always use the printed chart.

💡

Lighting matters

View swatches in consistent, neutral lighting for the truest read.

🎯

Share your references

Give clients and your team the same chart values to avoid disputes.

⏳

60-day validity

Ink and film changes can shift color over time — re-order the latest chart for big projects.

⏳ Important — 60-day validity: The validity of this color chart is provisionally set for 60 days. This period may extend or reduce, subject to unforeseen changes — such as adjustments to the ink formula or the film's coating by our suppliers, among other uncontrollable factors that may influence color accuracy. We highly recommend running a preliminary test print, or acquiring the latest color chart, before starting any major project.

🎯 General reference, not a guarantee. We don't offer color matching services for DTF prints — including spot colors, Pantones, or matching other products we distribute. Printed values can vary between runs, so if a color is critical, please run a sample.

❓ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a printed color chart?

Because DTF prints in CMYK while your screen displays RGB, on-screen colors don't translate exactly. A chart printed in real DTF output shows you what you'll actually get.

What size is it?

22" × 60" — a large, easy-to-read reference you can hang in the shop.

Does it show Pantone (PMS) values?

Yes — it prints the Pantone swatches so you can identify PMS colors and their general CMYK equivalents, making it easier to visualize and select colors before you order.

How long is the chart valid?

Validity is provisionally set at 60 days. That window can extend or shorten — suppliers occasionally adjust the ink formula or the film's coating, and other factors outside our control can affect color accuracy. For any major project, run a preliminary test print or order the latest chart.

Will it guarantee an exact color match?

No. It greatly improves accuracy and gives you general CMYK values, but results can still vary by printer, ink, and film — always confirm critical colors with a sample.

Do you offer color matching services?

We don't offer color matching for DTF prints, including spot colors and Pantones. The chart is the best way to set expectations before you order.

Is this chart specific to DTF?

Yes — the swatches are printed using the DTF process, so they're a true-to-output reference for DTF custom transfers.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes — orders over $99 ship free. Express shipping is available for an added charge.
