How to Halftone graphics for DTF prints

[@anthonyruan6976]

I’m having problems with my prints from my own edits coming out very dull when using half toning. Particularly red.Any suggestions?

Dtf feels like cheap plastic on top of the fabric. My blanks are expensive so the dtf feeling cheap is not a good option

Wnat did I do wrong? Could not open the Bitmap

[@Justin_Dykes]

I'm confused at 4:08 about copying the halftone and pasting it to the mask.... Could you describe that in a little more detail

[@transfersuperstars]

When pasting the half tone to the mask after copying. Press Alt+ Left Click first on the mask layer after that, it should turn white on the screen indicating that you are now actively in the mask layer and when you paste it there it will paste the black and white layer and then just turn the visibility of the layer back on and it should do the trick!

This tutorial gets confusing around the 4:10 mark. It says to do stuff (copy and paste on layer mask), however, the video does not demonstrate this action. Perhaps this is for someone more proficient with photoshop than I am.

[@transfersuperstars]

It should be the black and white layer that is on the original document that you are working on and then once you're there you can press alt + left click to directly select it and paste the black and white layer from the other document.

im realy confused, im doing print on demand and they use DTG to print, i always used blending options to remove background an it worked perfect, is very easy to do and looked good, why ppl even wanna use halftones? this black dots looks bad in my opinion, or is this just good for DTF, and for DTG blending is better?! im not realy into it

Different kinds of artwork require different actions. We do black knockouts and halftones to reduce the feeling of a large print

[@juneballoon7331]

Hi, when I flatten image to add halftones the layer locks. I’m not able to copy nor unlock it.. any help would be appreciated

You don't have to unlock the layer. You can just CTRL + A and select all then CTRL+C to copy and go back to the other document to paste it. It will work even if the layer says it is locked.

[@namehidden3789]

what does it mean for it to be "halftoned"? When you say the gray areas will be halftoned, does that mean the gray areas will become either black or white? thanks!

[@transfersuperstars]

Halftone is a printing technique that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect. Here’s a detailed explanation of how it works and its significance: Key Points of Halftone: Purpose: Halftone is used to reproduce images that contain gradients and varying tones of color or grayscale. Since printing presses typically use only a single color of ink per pass (such as black for monochrome prints), halftone enables the illusion of different shades by controlling the density and arrangement of dots. Dot Patterns: The technique involves breaking down an image into a series of dots. These dots can vary in size (amplitude modulation) or in spacing (frequency modulation) to create the perception of different tones. Larger dots appear darker, while smaller dots appear lighter. Color Printing: In color printing, halftone is used in conjunction with the CMYK color model (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key/Black). Each color layer is halftoned and printed with a specific dot pattern, often rotated at different angles to minimize moiré patterns and achieve a smooth gradation of colors when combined. Screen Angle: When printing in color, each halftone screen for the different color inks is rotated to a specific angle to avoid unwanted patterns. Standard angles are usually 45° for black, 75° for magenta, 90° for yellow, and 105° for cyan. Resolution: The quality of a halftone image is determined by its resolution, measured in lines per inch (LPI) or dots per inch (DPI). Higher resolutions result in finer detail and smoother gradients. History and Usage: The halftone process was developed in the late 19th century and became a standard in the printing industry. It allows newspapers, magazines, and books to reproduce photographs and other detailed images efficiently. Overall, halftone is a vital technique in graphic design and printing, allowing for the effective reproduction of complex images using simple binary processes (ink or no ink).

How do you fix dullness of colors when you are doing them on black/ dark clothes

[@transfersuperstars]

You'll need to color calibrate beforehand to make sure you're using your brightest colors. Here is a video on our color matching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpWTm6OFi9ein9k

[@theunclemez]

Great video, I've learned a lot. Something I'd like to know is about the color profile to use for DTF to look cool. In one of your videos you mentioned CMYK COATED FOGRA39 @300dpi ... I noticed a good shift in colors when I used that profile, not on DTF but on glossy coated paper but on DTF colors appeared good then less vibrant. What to say about and what is the best standard overall CMYK color profile for both DTF or sublimation. I mean this is crucial to know and your advice can save a lot of businesses Thanks for making us become superstars

[@transfersuperstars]

It starts off with where and how you are creating the artwork. If you create as RBG then save as CMYK FOGRA39, the color profile will shift. If you start your artwork creating in CMYK FOGRA39 and thats how your DTF printer prints from, then you will have more accurate colors.

[@theunclemez]

@@transfersuperstars thanks a lot, to make it more cool I actually created a preset already CMYK COATED FOGRA39 @300dpi so I don't forget to do so, and today I printed my best sublimation ever, didn't even required me to go pantone color for some objects and it cames out really vibrant before and after pressing it and my clients are actually satisfied and even impressed. So thanks for your advice and for making us become superstars

[@transfersuperstars]

I can think of 3 issues, it mainly stems from the artwork. 1. Graphic resolution and size (analyze dpi & size of graphic), this is extremely important when you start to knockout some of the original artwork. 2. choke adjustment, minimum 2, maybe 3 contact depending on the artwork. 3. DTF Printer needs to be highly calibrated in all directions. Solve the problem by working backwards 1. Is the printer the issue when printing fine details 2. Try more choke (contract 2-3) 3. Upscale the image (use a free upscaler program like UPSCYL) I will have a video on this soon.

[@KamalpreetSandhu-l1h]

[@theawkwardturtle]

Hi, do you mind sharing the white color settings on your prints? In my experience, using just 1 pass of the white color isn't good enough for printing on black-colored t-shirts. 2 passes usually work, but it takes too long.

[@transfersuperstars]

It really depends on your printer setup. I print on commercial machines at 6-8pass. The % of white ink also depends on your films ability to hold without puddling. You can print at 100% white but if it drips, it doesn't do you any good.

[@theawkwardturtle]

@@transfersuperstars Thank you! So far 2 Pass with 60% white ink seems ideal. More than that will drip.

Right click on the mask layer. You may be copying it and pasting it immediately without clicking "Alt+Left Click" on the layer mask.

You may have adjusted the levels too much and lost a lot of the details that caused it to look like it has lost a lot of colors. You may also try adjusting the frequency you're using for the bitmap to get the half tone effect.

Little tip. If your going to print on both sides of your t-shirt always put parchment paper on your press mat otherwise you will press the print on to it .Notice the mat is not on the press at the end of video he most likely ruined it .. Still a great video tho

[@transfersuperstars]

If you look closely at the heat press, we actually have magnets holding up the teflon sheet.

[@peepingmole]

@@transfersuperstars I can see that but that's not I was taking about ? I said put parchment paper on the mat on the bottom of the press before you put the t-shirt on it .if you have just done a image on one side then put that t-shirt face down on your mat to Press the other side .that first image will transfer on to the mat. That's why you removed the mat Right? I only know this because I did this mistake myself and now have a heat press with a unicorn on it.

[@transfersuperstars]

Certainly, if your artwork involves a smart object or multiple layers, you'll need to rasterize it. Simply select "Rasterize" from the three options that appear. It's worth noting that this won't impact your original file; instead, a duplicated version will be created, as demonstrated in the video. This duplicated version is only utilized for the specific selection.

[@tuliomarroquin4348]

Can this be done with procreate?

[@transfersuperstars]

Yes, you can create a black knockout effect using Procreate, a versatile digital illustration app for the iPad. The black knockout effect involves removing or "knocking out" portions of a design, usually text, to reveal a background or an underlying image. This creates a visually striking contrast, especially when using a dark or black background. Here’s a basic guide on how to achieve a black knockout effect in Procreate: Step-by-Step Guide: Background Preparation: Open Procreate and create a new canvas. Start by setting your background color. For a knockout effect, a darker color works best, so you might choose black or another dark hue. Add Your Base Image or Layer: If you want the text to reveal an image beneath, import or draw your image on a new layer. This image will be "revealed" through the knockout text. Position and scale the image as desired. Adding Text: Add a new layer above your image for your text. Select the Text Tool and type your text. Choose a font and size that will work well for the knockout effect - bold and thicker fonts usually work best. Position your text where you want the knockout effect to happen. Creating the Knockout Effect: Once you’re happy with the text placement, tap on the text layer to bring up the options. Select "Rasterize" to convert the text to a pixel layer. This is necessary because Procreate currently doesn’t support direct knockout effects on text layers. Now, go to the layers panel. Tap on the thumbnail of your text layer and select "Select" to create a selection based on the text. With the text selected, go to your image layer. Tap the layer thumbnail and select "Clear." This will remove the part of the image where the text is, effectively creating a knockout effect. Refining the Effect: If needed, you can refine the edges of your knockout effect using the eraser tool. Additionally, you can add effects like shadows or outlines to your text layer to enhance the visual impact. Final Adjustments: Adjust the colors, add filters, or apply any final touches to your design. Once you're satisfied with the result, you can export your creation from Procreate. Tips for Best Results: Contrast: Ensure there's good contrast between the text (knockout area) and the background or image you're revealing. This contrast is what makes the knockout effect visually appealing. Font Selection: Bold, chunky fonts usually work better for knockout effects because they reveal more of the background image or color. Thin fonts might not showcase the effect as prominently. Layer Management: Keep your layers organized. It's easier to adjust or correct parts of your design if each element is on a separate layer. Experiment with Colors: While black or dark backgrounds are common for a knockout effect, experimenting with different colors or gradients can lead to unique and eye-catching results. Save Originals: Before rasterizing and clearing parts of your image, it's a good idea to duplicate layers. This way, you have the original layers intact in case you need to make changes. Creating a black knockout effect in Procreate can be a fun way to add depth and interest to your digital artwork. With the versatility of Procreate's tools, you can experiment with various styles and complexities in your designs.
