Color Matching

We understand the critical role of accurate color reproduction in sublimated apparel. Our color matching services are designed to ensure that the colors you envision are the colors that appear on your final product. Achieving true-to-life color requires expertise, precision, and advanced technology, especially with the unique challenges of sublimation printing. Our color matching process guarantees consistency and vibrancy, allowing your brand’s colors to be reproduced accurately on every garment.

Color matching is the process of ensuring that the colors in a digital design file translate accurately onto physical fabric through sublimation printing. Because sublimation uses a heat transfer process, colors can sometimes shift or look different from what is seen on a screen. Factors like fabric type, heat levels, and printing equipment can all impact color. Our color matching service takes these variables into account, creating custom color profiles and adjustments that help minimize color discrepancies and produce vibrant, accurate results.

With our color matching services, you can trust that your designs will look exactly as intended, enhancing your brand’s visual appeal and ensuring a premium product is delivered to your customers every time.
