4 color garmut: CMYK+W
This standard configuration uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black inks, along with White (CMYK+W).
Color Range: Suitable for general printing needs, capable of producing a wide array of colors.
Applications: Ideal for basic designs and cost-effective printing solutions.
9-Color Fluorescent garmut: (CMYK +W+FM+FY+FG+FO)
This setup expands the standard CMYK+W by adding Fluorescent Magenta (FM), Fluorescent Yellow (FY), Fluorescent Green (FG), and Fluorescent Orange (FO) inks.
Color Range: Significantly broadens the color gamut, enabling the reproduction of vibrant and fluorescent hues that standard inks cannot achieve.
Applications: Perfect for high-end fashion, promotional products, and designs requiring striking, luminous effects.
Enhanced RGB garmut: (CMYK+R/G/B/OR+W
This configuration enhances the standard CMYK+W by incorporating Orange (O), Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) inks.
Color Range: Offers an expanded gamut, allowing for more accurate reproduction of vivid and complex colors, closely matching digital designs.
Applications: Suitable for professional printing where color precision is crucial, such as detailed artwork and high-quality photographic prints.
What are Fluorescent Colors and enhanced RGB colors?
Fluorescent colors and enhanced RGB color represent two distinct but complementary aspects of color theory and application in DTF printing,
Fluorescent Colors
Fluorescent colors are unique hues that appear exceptionally bright and vibrant due to their ability to absorb and re-emit light. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, these colors can glow, creating a striking visual effect. The fluorescence occurs when the fluorescent dye absorbs energy from light, exciting its electrons to a higher energy state. As the electrons return to their ground state, they emit light at a longer wavelength, resulting in the intense colors we perceive. Fluorescent inks can reflect significantly more light than conventional colors, often achieving brightness levels of 200% to 300% more than standard pigments
Enhanced RGB Color
The RGB color model is an additive color model where red, green, and blue light are combined in various intensities to create a broad spectrum of colors. Enhanced RGB refers to systems that may include additional colors beyond standard RGB to achieve even greater accuracy and vibrancy in color reproduction. This model is particularly useful in digital printing and design, allowing for a wide range of vibrant colors that can be achieved through mixing different intensities of red, green, and blue light.
How to DTF Printing with Fluorescent and Enhanced RGB Colors
1. Printer Setup
To print with fluorescent and enhanced RGB colors, ensure your DTF printer is equipped with the necessary fluorescent inks. Common fluorescent colors used in DTF printing include Fluorescent Orange (FO), Fluorescent Magenta (FM), Fluorescent Green (FG), and Fluorescent Yellow (FY)
2. Design Preparation
Create your design using graphic design software that supports vector graphics. This allows for precise color adjustments and the incorporation of both fluorescent and enhanced RGB colors. Ensure that your design includes patch colors appropriate for fluorescence to maximize vibrancy4
3. Printing Process
The DTF printing process involves several key steps:
Printing on Film: Print the design onto specially coated film using fluorescent inks along with any enhanced RGB colors.
Applying Hot Melt Powder: After printing, apply hot melt powder to the film, which adheres to the printed ink areas.
Heating: Pass the powder-coated film through a heating device to melt the powder, bonding it with the ink.
Cooling: Allow the film to cool before handling.
Heat Transfer: Use a heat press machine to transfer the design onto the garment. The heat activates the ink, allowing it to permeate the fabric for a durable finish
4. Tips for Optimal Results
Use High-Quality Inks: Select fluorescent inks that are UV-reactive and designed for durability.
Choose Suitable Fabrics: Opt for materials with a smooth surface for even ink distribution.
Test Prints: Always conduct test prints before full production runs to ensure color accuracy and quality.
