We will focus on color substitution. <\/p>\n\n<p>In digital printing on natural fabrics the color yield 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. <\/p>\n\n<p>You should bear in mind that what you see on the screen and what you later get on 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&#8230; This is specifically discussed in our <a href=\"https:\/\/textilfy.es\/en\/terms-conditions\/\">terms of use<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p>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 you get printed. I am attaching some information about the use <a href=\"https:\/\/textilfy.es\/help\/article\/que-es-una-carta-de-color\/\">of our color chart<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p>One thing to keep in mind is that in digital printing there will always be variations in color from what you see on the screen to what you get stamped 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. <\/p>\n\n<p>When we want specific shades, it is best to work with our CMYK FOGRA39 COLOR CHART, it is the most reliable, the fastest and in the long run the most economical. I will explain it briefly and if you need it later I will expand this information. The patterned color chart looks something like this:  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/textilfy.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/muestra-color-sintentico-1-600x450-1.jpg\" alt=\"Synthetic Color Sample\" class=\"wp-image-279750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textilfy.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/muestra-color-sintentico-1-600x450-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/textilfy.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/muestra-color-sintentico-1-600x450-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The colour chart takes up 1 metre of printed fabric and its price is that of the fabric on which it is printed.<\/p>\n\n<p>This chart is specific to each fabric, as each fabric has its own unique color performance so that the same file will look different when printed on different fabrics. That is why it is <strong>ESSENTIAL<\/strong> to always work with the color chart printed on the same fabric that we are going to print our designs. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>USING THE CMYK FOGRA39 COLOR CHART AND COLOR SUBSTITUTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The color chart printed on fabric is accompanied by that same chart in digital format so that you can use it when designing. I would send this digital letter to you by email. <\/p>\n\n<p>1.- Choose the tone you like over the color chart printed on the fabric.<\/p>\n\n<p>2.- We take this color from the digital color chart (file opened on our computer).<\/p>\n\n<p>3.- We stick that same tone in our design. In this way, regardless of what we see on each screen, we will always know with total certainty what tone will reach us in the printed fabric. <\/p>\n\n<p>It is ESSENTIAL for a correct use of this color chart and applying color substitution is that ALL files are at all times in the CMYK color profile FOGRA39.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you are going to use the colour chart (file and printed physical letter), if you have any questions, please contact us and we will try to answer any questions you may have.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you want this print with greater intensity, the ideal is undoubtedly to choose synthetic fabrics, surely the result in terms of color will be more satisfactory in terms of color performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The topic of color is the most complex but we are going to try to explain it as best as possible so that you have the necessary knowledge and tools to achieve what you need.
