DTF Color Matching Printed Guide – Eliminate Guesswork & Print with Confidence
Tired of colors looking different on screen than they do on your final DTF transfers? The Kolormatrix DTF Color Matching Printed Guide helps eliminate color guesswork and gives you a real-world printed reference for choosing accurate colors before placing your order. Instead of relying on uncalibrated monitors, simply select colors directly from an actual printed sample.
No monitor calibration. No trial and error. No expensive reprints.
Just real printed colors using the same DTF production workflow used to create your transfers.
Why Printers Love the DTF Color Guide

Printed color references help reduce inconsistencies caused by monitor settings and color translation differences between digital files and print workflows.
How It Works
- Cut the printed guide into 4 sections
- Heat press onto black shirts
- Compare printed colors in real-world conditions
- Identify the HEX number you prefer
- Use that HEX value in your artwork
- Order your DTF custom transfers from Kolormatrix
The selected color from the guide becomes your target—not what your monitor happens to display.

Why Screens Don't Always Match Prints
Computer monitors display RGB light while print systems reproduce physical ink colors, which can create visible color differences. A printed guide gives you a real output reference instead of relying on screen interpretation.
The Kolormatrix Advantage
Get better color consistency, fewer surprises, and more confident ordering with a printed guide designed around real DTF output—not monitor assumptions.
