DTF Test File Before Full Production: Check Scale, Alpha, White, and Fine Detail
Build a small controlled DTF target, compare it from source through Prep, export, RIP preview, and physical output, then make an evidence-based go/no-go decision.
DTF spot channels explained: white, varnish, names, and RIP handoff
A technical guide to colour, alpha, white and varnish planes; TIFF and PSD/PSB representation; channel naming; polarity; and what to verify in the target RIP.
