When creating custom shirts, getting the right color is crucial. Whether you’re trying to match a specific logo, recreate a cool design, or ensure your final product looks exactly as imagined — you need to see how it prints before committing.

That’s where the DTF Print Color Chart from DTF Louisville comes in.

At DTF Louisville, we’ve developed a professional-level printable DTF color chart so you can see real color results using our premium inks, films, and powders. It’s more than just a color sheet — it’s your go-to tool for achieving accurate, consistent, and professional DTF color outcomes.

What’s a DTF Print Color Chart?

A DTF Color Chart is a guide that shows how colors truly appear when printed with DTF (Direct-to-Film) technology.

Unlike digital screens that display colors differently depending on calibration or brightness, this chart shows the actual ink on film — printed on fabric — giving you a reliable reference for every print job.

Each DTF Louisville color chart includes:

  • Dozens of color samples
  • CMYK mixes, gradients, and grayscale variations
  • Printed on PET film using our inks and adhesive
  • Step-by-step pressing and comparison instructions

With this chart, you can make confident design choices and eliminate unwanted color surprises.
