🎨 Color Accuracy & ICC Calibration Notice

We use professionally calibrated ICC color profiles on our printers to ensure consistent, high-quality color output across every order.

What this means for you:

Colors are printed using industry-standard ICC profiles

Prints are calibrated for DTF production, not generic CMYK

Skin tones, gradients, and solid colors reproduce cleanly and consistently

Every order is printed using the same verified color workflow

Important things to know:

Colors may appear different on your screen due to monitor brightness, color settings, or device type

We recommend submitting artwork in RGB color mode for best results

Fluorescent, neon, and metallic colors may vary slightly when printed

We do not color-match to uncalibrated screens or home printers

For best results, we recommend:
✔ High-resolution artwork (300 DPI)
✔ Transparent background where applicable
✔ No color profiles embedded (or sRGB if included)
✔ Avoid screenshots or compressed images

If exact color matching is critical (brand colors, logos, or reorders), please contact us before placing your order to discuss test prints or color expectations.

🔒 Disclaimer

By placing an order, you acknowledge that minor color variation is normal in all printed products and is not considered a defect.

If you want, I can also:

Shorten this for a collapsible “Color Accuracy” tab

Rewrite it in a more technical / decorator-focused tone

Customize it specifically for DTF Midwest branding

Add a “Why colors look different on screen” graphic caption

Just tell me how you want it framed.

Love this as a paid service—it’s high-value, misunderstood, and exactly the kind of thing shops will happily pay for once it’s explained clearly.

Below is a ready-to-use service description you can place on a Shopify service product, landing page, or sales PDF. I’ll give you customer-facing copy first, then pricing + scope suggestions, and finally what to include so you don’t get burned.
