On this video I'm going to be covering gradients and shadow effects and how they print with DTF printing.
So you may have submitted an artwork on our website and our team has gotten back to you and identified that your artwork has gradients and may not print to your expectations.
Now what are gradients?
A gradient is a gradual blend of two or more colors (or different tints of the same color).
Common uses for gradients include adding light/shadow effects, adding volume to objects, and creating reflective surfaces such as metallic materials and gold. Other very popular uses for color gradients include creating abstract backgrounds and adding color overlays.
The problem with gradients is that it creates a semi transparent background on some of the images. With DTF or Direct to transfer film, we take the artwork and create a contracted layer behind the image in order to create that white backing (show transfer) and we put adhesive
powder on this. This is what gives you the stretch. DTF transfers work best with solid edges and not gradients.
When working with gradients or shadow effects, our systems do not know how to properly contract the gradient layers, and this will cause an extra white layer of ink to be put in place of the gradient effect.
Some customers have been okay with this effect while others not so much. Another thing to consider is the color of the garment that it's going on. The darker the garment, the more likely the white cloud will appear. When dealing with gradients, also keep in mind that depending on
the pressure of the heat press, you may or may not get a complete transfer rate when pressing gradient transfers.
What we're going to show you in a few samples of different gradient jobs along with how they look on both dark and light garments.
