WHY 9 COLOUR ?
A 9-colour DTF (Direct-to-Film) printer is better than standard CMYK systems because it uses additional ink colours, such as Red, Green, Blue, and Orange, to achieve a significantly wider colour gamut and more accurate colour reproduction, including metallic effects and richer gradients, which standard CMYK printers cannot replicate. This expanded colour range leads to more vibrant, true-to-life prints with exceptional detail, giving businesses a competitive edge and enabling more precise color matching for demanding applications like corporate branding.
Key Advantages of 9-Colour DTF
-
Expanded Colour Gamut:
The addition of RGBO (Red, Green, Blue, Orange) and other specialized inks creates a much broader spectrum of colors, allowing for the reproduction of hues and shades that are impossible with standard CMYK.
-
Enhanced Colour Accuracy:
With more colors available, printers can achieve spot-on Pantone matches and more accurate representations of complex designs and gradients.
-
Vibrant and True-to-Life Colours:
The expanded colour palette results in more vivid, impactful, and realistic prints that capture the essence of your designs with superior clarity.
-
Ability to Print Special Colours:
9-color systems can produce specialty colours like silvers, golds, and pastels, which are beyond the capabilities of traditional CMYK printers.
-
Increased Design Flexibility:
This enhanced colour flexibility means you can handle a wider range of design types, from bold graphics to subtle images, with high-quality results across different materials.
-
Competitive Advantage:
Offering superior colour quality and detail gives your business a distinct advantage over competitors who rely on standard printing methods.
How it Works
-
Beyond CMYK:
While standard DTF printers use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) inks, 9-color systems go beyond this by incorporating additional print heads for other colors.
-
Blended Colors:
Instead of relying on spot colours, these printers blend colours from the expanded spectrum to create the desired hues, resulting in a unique and comprehensive color range.
-
High-Fidelity Reproduction:
This advanced technology is ideal for print shops that require high-fidelity color reproduction, ensuring that every design is printed with exceptional precision and depth.
