DTF Glossary

RGB

RGB is an additive colour model that describes colour with red, green, and blue components. It is a practical interchange space for artwork with transparency, but RGB numbers are not printer ink recipes. A profile and conversion path determine their meaning, while the RIP and device condition determine how printable inks reproduce them.

In practice

An RGBA file adds alpha opacity to RGB colour. Alpha can guide white generation, but it remains distinct from a named white spot plane.

Upload transparent RGB PNG artwork to NestSheet. The Production DTF preset prepares a mirrored 300 dpi TIFF containing CMYK colour and a separate W1 white channel for MainTOP. Check a known colour sample in the receiving queue.
