Do you have the file that shows the colors available for purchase? From a design point of view we really wouldn't need the shirt just the file of the colors that are available to be printed.

Thank you for your message, and I appreciate your patience as I get back to you. The available colors for each printer will vary based on the specific materials and ink characteristics used. You can create your own colour charts by following these steps: 1. Select the PMS colors you need for the colour chart. 2. Print out the colors using your printer settings and parameters on diverse materials. 3. Compare the printed colors with the desired color shades to see how closely they match. As a result, you can determine how accurately your printer reproduces the colors you need for your project. I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. Best regards, e.

Hi, thanks for the video, it is really helpful. I have one question, our printing company requires a TIFF file with a CMYK color space, they don't accept files with RGB color space. What can I do? Can I use the t-shirt color palette in this case, I guess not?

Hi, we are glad you enjoyed the video =) Tiff supports CMYK, so ask them what color profile they need and then just convert your file. You can do that with any good software. All the best, take care and be good! e.

Hello! Thank you for yours videos. I’ve a question: if I take a photo of my art (I work with paper, so the design is 2D and 3D), then upload the photo and edit it (remove the background and add some phrase) to Procreate, then I upload the final design “PNG” to be printed in fabric (to Redbubble, Art of Where, Zazzle) which are the right settings of the canvas on Procreate (RGB or CYMK) in order to have a very close printed colours to the real photo?!! I will really appreciate your answers, I’m lost when it comes to the right settings. I’m asking it because I take my photos, they are very bright in colours but when I sent them to be printed they are very opaque and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Thank you so much Armida

Hi, thank you for your message. I'm afraid I've overlooked it... in case it still helps: CMYK is the best option for artwork intended for printing on textiles. For more information, you can always consult the Procreate help: help.procreate.com/ All the best to you, e.
