The subject of color is the most complex but we will try to explain it as best as possible so that you have the knowledge and tools necessary to get what you need.
In digital printing on natural fabrics the color performance is limited and the tones are always a little matte, this is something inherent to digital printing on natural fabrics. For synthetic fabrics for example the color yield is much higher and we can obtain very intense, bright and saturated colors.
You must bear in mind that what you see on the screen and what later comes to you in the fabric can vary due to many factors: the fabric on which we print, the color profile of the file, the calibration of each screen … This is specifically discussed in our terms of use.
If you want a specific color, it is best to use our color chart, since there will always be differences between what you see on the screen and what comes to you printed. I attach information about the use of our color chart.
One thing to keep in mind is that in digital printing there will always be color variations from what you see on the screen to what you get printed on the fabric. Each screen has a different color calibration so the same file will look somewhat different if you see it on one screen or another, this makes the screens serve as a general orientation but never as a safe value.
When we want specific tones it is best to work with our CMYK COLOR CHART FOGRA39, it is the most reliable, the fastest and in the long run the most economical. I explain it briefly and if you need it later I expand this information. The printed color chart looks something like this:
The color chart occupies 1 meter of printed fabric and its price is that of the fabric on which it is printed.
This letter is specific to each fabric, since each fabric has its own and exclusive color performance so that the same file will look different when printed on different fabrics. That is why it is ESSENTIAL to always work with the color chart printed on the same fabric that we are going to print our designs.
USING THE CMYK FOGRA39 COLOR CHART
The color chart printed in fabric is accompanied by that same letter in digital format so that you can use it when designing. This digital letter would be sent to you by email.
1.- Choose the tone we like on the color chart printed on fabric.
2.- We take this color from the digital color chart (file opened on our computer).
3.- That same tone we paste in our design. In this way, regardless of what we see on each screen, we will always know with total certainty what tone is the one that will reach us in the printed fabric.
It is ESSENTIAL for a correct use of this color chart is that ALL files are at all times in the CMYK FOGRA39 color profile.
When you are going to use the color chart (file and stamped physical letter), if you have any questions, please contact us and we will try to solve all the doubts that may arise.
If you want this print with greater intensity I definitely recommend synthetic fabrics, surely the result in terms of color will be more satisfactory.
