Why CMYK+W+RGBO Is a Game-Changer for Your Prints

Why CMYK+W+RGBO Is a Game-Changer for Your Prints

If you're ordering DTF transfers, you’ve likely seen the standard CMYK + White setup.

But not all DTF printing is the same.

We now offer 9 Colour DTF printing (CMYK + White + Red, Green, Blue & Orange) — a premium upgrade that produces brighter, richer, more accurate colours.

If colour quality matters to your brand, this is for you.

What Is 5 Colour DTF (CMYK + White)?

Standard DTF printers use:

  • Cyan
  • Magenta
  • Yellow
  • Black
  • White (for dark garments)

This works well for most basic designs and everyday printing.

Suitable for:

  • Simple logos
  • Basic artwork
  • Standard business branding
  • General merch printing

However, traditional CMYK has limits when it comes to ultra-bright or highly saturated colours.

What Is 9 Colour DTF (CMYK + White + RGBO)?

9 colour DTF adds:

  • Red
  • Green
  • Blue
  • Orange

This expands the printable colour range (colour gamut) significantly.

The result?

✔ Brighter reds
✔ Cleaner greens
✔ Deeper blues
✔ Stronger oranges
✔ Smoother gradients
✔ More accurate brand colour matching
✔ More vibrant prints overall

Your designs simply look more premium.

Why This Matters for Clothing Brands & POD Sellers

If you’re:

  • Starting a streetwear brand
  • Running a print-on-demand store
  • Selling event merch
  • Producing sportswear
  • Printing detailed artwork

Colour vibrancy directly affects perceived quality.

Dull prints can make even a great design look average.

9 colour DTF helps your garments:

  • Stand out on social media
  • Look more premium in photos
  • Improve customer satisfaction
  • Reduce complaints about “colour not matching”

For clothing brands especially, colour accuracy builds trust.

When Should You Choose 9 Colour DTF?

Choose 9 colour printing if:

  • Your design includes bright reds, greens, blues, or orange tones
  • Brand colour matching is important
  • You want a higher-end finish
  • You sell premium apparel
  • You want your prints to stand out from competitors

If your design is basic black text or simple artwork, standard CMYK works fine.
But if colour impact matters — 9 colour wins.
