“We are moving towards a future where waste is unacceptable—both economically and environmentally. Allowing lighting mismatches to create colour rejections is an unforced error.

DTF printing has experienced explosive growth since 2019, transforming from a niche application to a mainstream solution

"Modern DTF software solutions have evolved far beyond simple print drivers. They now incorporate advanced colour management systems that can automatically adjust ink density based on design complexity, implement sophisticated rasterisation patterns that reduce ink usage whilst maintaining visual quality, and provide automated workflow tools that eliminate common operator errors" Michael Chramtchenko of Fiery.

Textile brands in all segments of the market require textiles to be manufactured with conformance to a colour tolerance. This is a tolerance for each colour in the finished product - matching the colour to the specified shade for the design or colourway, typically as QTX spectral data. - Lou Prestia
