Digital Factory 11: dtfsuperstore....
In this detailed tutorial, we delve into the intricacies of white underbase choke: a crucial technique for achieving pristine Direct to Film (DTF) transfers. Discover why mastering the art of white underbase choking is vital, especially when dealing with slight misalignments between CMYK and white print heads, and how it can prevent the white layer from peeking out on your final prints. 🎯👕
We explore the different terminologies used across RIP software, such as "contract trap" or "underlap," and guide you through the process of manually creating a choked white underbase layer in Photoshop for those whose software requires it. Whether you're dealing with single or multiple print head printers, understanding the right choke setting is key to avoiding the dreaded "halo" effect around your graphics. This video is packed with step-by-step instructions, tips for experimenting with choke values, and solutions for common challenges faced in DTF printing.
By the end of this video, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to fine-tune your white underbase choke settings for any project. From selecting the correct choke value to avoiding potential pitfalls that could disappoint your clients, we've got you covered.

Absolutely fantastic video! Straight to the point, covered a ton of things and didn't waste any time.
Thank you!

[@DTFSuperstore]

Its our pleasure!

[@fvcreativestudio]

Great content

[@DTFSuperstore]

Glad it was useful!

Good video. Please can you do a video where you knock out black from a character design for a black Tshirt, halftone it and also choke the design for the white underbase in Photoshop. Thanks.
Why I am asking for this tutorial is that, the coverage of the white underbase after choking is not covering the character design. I can send you the design for you to play with.

[@DTFSuperstore]

go ahead and send it to [e-mail]

[@bosun436]

@@DTFSuperstore Thanks. I have sent it.

So even though it turned into another color will it turn out as the original clothe image is?

[@user-pr9bi9pn7p]

i prefer dtf machine with manual contract, very easy to separate for any kind of atwork

[@DTFSuperstore]

Definitely easier when the RIP automatically does it but having manual controls will make it easier to dial in the perfect results

[@MoThingsEmpire]

You mentioned ps. So does this needs to be done to all graphics you design first in ps before bringing into your rip software?

[@DTFSuperstore]

No, most RIP softwares create the white underbase automatically. We're just showing how to do it if your RIP does not.

[@JasonBryantGreen]

will this help prevent def powder sticking just beyond the edge of the image.... or is that a humidity issue?

[@liuallen7540]

This is mainly the problem of the coating of DTF film ,some film want to adsop more ink , at the same time it will also adsop more humity , final adshensive the power in no ink place

[@DTFSuperstore]

If you printer has heaters turn those on to 35C/95F and if you're using a dryer/shaker turn on the heated guide place or preheat to 65-75C. It's moisture wicking from the in into the ink absorbing layer. The heaters will help dry that so adhesive powder doesn't stick to it.

Appreciate the thumbs up! Thanks for visiting.

This is what I tried to explain my DTF provider, but they just don't get it. The prints are awesome, but that annoying white outline makes it look unprofessional.

[@DTFSuperstore]

White underbase choke is key. Thanks for watching.
