Thanks juna
You are very welcome
Great video as always, Juna. I get so much out of watching your videos, really I think more than any of the other channels I follow dealing with Print on Demand. Have you considered doing more "How To Draw" tutorials? I always worry people think I want to just steal their designs by asking, but I would love to learn how you drew your corgi design, even if it were a modified one so it's not exactly the one you drew. I've followed many of your tutorials, and I'm working on the shamrock design now. I really appreciate all you do!
Yes more how to draw videos coming up
I feel the same, Thank you Juna!
Thank you very much, this is very helpful for me. Jesus bless you and keep you.
You are very welcome
Yes I would like to see color palettes on white shirts as well.
Awesome... on it
Awesome video Juna. I did notice there was another color in that Science T-shirt (a muted yellow) - very close to the orange color
Good call!..I must have missed it... That would work well
Fantastic! I was hoping you'd have a color palette video, and I'm so glad you do. "SEQUEL! SEQUEL!" 🙂
Yay, thank you! What would you like to see in the Sequel?
@@DetourShirts You know: All the elements of a great sequel. Drama! Mystery! Romance! Adventure! Or if none of that, then maybe your thoughts on color palettes that would work well on Amazon's lighter pink/light blue/yellow shirts, all with one design.
Hi Juna! Your video here is very memorable, so I came back to it after months for a refresher. What would you think about making a "Top Color Palettes of 2023" video? I feel like I keep falling back on the same color palettes over and over again, and I'd love a fresh set of palettes. Thanks for all your great videos!
Thanks! Good info, except for Mardi Gras..it was over last Tuesday :)
Oh no! I really need to check my calendar 😂
thank's juna
You are welcome
Wow! Another great video! Of course, we want to see more color palettes from you! I wondered if you can make a video on how we can use these pallets in Photoshop! :)
Will do!!
@@DetourShirts great! Thanks! :)
Wow I didn't know it was this easy to steal a design off a tshirt!
I'm not stealing the design... I'm using the same colors....There is no copyright or trademark on colors
The color chart at 5:40 is super helpful. I've had some negative reviews on Amazon because people say the print isn't as bright as they thought it would be. I wish Amazon would provide more accurate mockups with corrected CMYK colors instead of the deceptively bright mockups they show now.
Also, try out paletton.com for another fun palette maker that has a bit more functionality than Coolors. 🎨
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the tip
@Juna, what are your thoughts on Printful color swashes?
Sorry.... I don't use the printful color swashes... they are probably really helpful though
CMYK is the most common color space for printing. However, Amazon require all art files to be created in an RGB space.
Most of the CMYK colors are in the RGB space... and when you save your CMYK files to PNG is does convert them to RGB
Then it makes sense why I had once a problem with a drawing, a particular shade of blue saved as a bright aqua blue no matter what, it was crazy, I didn't know what's happening.
But why on Amazon they specifically require you to use RGB?
Thanks juna. I recently started doing this and this was helpful. Do you use merch informer to find the trend credit suggestions?
Sometimes I do... yes
Colors have been a challenge for me. If you would do another video, that would be most appreciated.
Will do!
Thank you for the video.
I designed some Tees in Canva and Kittl and posted them as such. Should I be expecting returns and 1 star ratings?
Time will tell.... I hope you get lots of sales instead.
very good video, could you tell me how to convert the colors from hexadecimal to cmyk?
It's not exact but you can just switch to the CMYK palette and click on one of the sliders... don't move the slider just click on it.
How do you decide on what color shirts you pick on Red Bubble etc? Is there an easy way to change color schemes for the same shirt?
I think you can only pick the main color and I just go buy what looks the best with my design. There is no way to easily change color schemes for the same shirt as far as I know
Regarding white, do you really use full white? (#000000) That can cause DTG printers to only make one pass with white ink and cause text to come out muted. If you add a minor touch or grey or yellow, that will force the printer to make two passes and deposit more ink, resulting in a more vibrant white. Have you used this trick before?
That's a great idea actually... maybe add some like colors to help
Thank you so much for this! I'm a little confused. Can we do CMYK in apps like Kittl / Canva? I do have Affinity Photo and Designer, but I'm usually more comfortable in the apps. Thank you again!
Kittl and Canva aren't really made to do that but you could convert them to CMYK in Affinity Photo after if you really want to... I would just be careful of really bright red, greens and blues
Hi juna thanks for the video. Is there another way for people to find cymk colours who don’t have affinity designer?
Most graphic apps have a color palette for you to change colors in cmyk
So, in Canva, since you can’t use CMYK, unless you download a different file, I believe, could we just use the duller colors and be safe, or are there color pallets, that have converted cmyk to the rob hex codes, so we would be safe?
Yes... that is a good plan
hi Juna, how can we find CMYK in other apps like placeit or mobile apps? can you please make a video on that and provide the information on color codes for these palettes as in the apps we don't have CMYK feature which you get in affinity designer. stay blessed 😊
Great idea... I'll look into it
Thank you Juna! I've heard that for printing DTG on a black Tshirt you need to add a bit of color to the white fonts (not pure white) to make it look good and not faded because of the shirt absorbing the color (to make the machine to adding another layer). Do you know what is best for that? Thanks in advance
I haven't heard that... If I find out something I let you know
@@DetourShirts this was said in a post inside a printful group, as some people were upset of white on black shirts. I believe you don't know it as you are Amazon expert and there you don't need to worry about final prints 😁
Question....should I automatically set up myself in cmyk and just export as png always? Also...should I be concerned with the appearance of my designs on different color shirts...like red or bright yellow shirts....how does the substrate effect my design?
Yes always set up as CMYK and export as PNG..... the shirt colors don't affect the colors on top as much... I think most places lay down a white like a primer so that the colors look good on all different color shirts... You do need to be concerned about how the palette matches the shirt color though.... yellow text will not read well on a yellow shirt... that kind of thing.
So when you export to PNG what are the settings you use for that in Affinity Designer.
I make sure my Size is right, Preset: PNG, Resample: Bilinear and Area: Selection without background
Does printing in CMYK help with the colors being more solid on the shirt or is that based on the printer? I've tried a few different printers on Printify and the colors are either muted or you can see that it was printed on a black background (which I know I can't change that, but I'm wondering how to keep the colors as true as I can). Thank you so much for your videos!
So CMYK is to make sure you are using all the colors available to the printers... printers use CMYK to print so iif you created a color outside of the CMYK spectrum you would get a different color.... the closest color that CMYK can create.
Hey, Juna. Thank you SO much. Can you talk at some point about what colors NOT to use on black / red / etc.? I'm assuming you don't in this video. If you do, ignore me. I'm not caffeinated yet. 😆 But for instance, I made a shirt on heather navy (B+C 3001) and it had black lettering. In the mockups on printify, it looked really cool, like a dark-on-dark contrast. But when it came in (thank GOD I got a sample!), you can't read it unless you're right up on it, and the maroon also fades into the background. Anyway, fast-forward to today and a friend asked me to make a design for her, which I am in the process of, but she wants a black shirt and her fave color is purple, and frankly I'm a little scared that's going to not be enough contrast. I tried putting a gold outline around it, but... Yeah. I'm a little worried it's going to look like crap. Thanks for listening to me moan--I'm off to watch the video now. 🙂
Yeah... it's easier if you stick to light colors on dark shirts and dark colors on light shirts.... purple would not work well on black unless it's a light purple... One thing you could do is test the colors out with a contrast tester....there are many of them out there but here is an example of one....accessibleweb.com/color-contrast-checker/
@@DetourShirts Oh! I didn't even know there was such a thing. Thank you SO much. And yeah--I have GOT to fix those colors.There's a brightish / darkish purple and a turquoise, and I don't know that either of them are going to work well, border or no. I'm sure once you've been doing it a well, you kind of have a gut instinct of what colors aren't safe, but I'm not there yet. 😆 Thank you again!
Informative video - thank you very much. I might be overthinking or making my t-shirt printing process more complicated than I should so please bare with me and this question. And I apologize but this has nothing to do with palettes. You mentioned that saving a CMYK image to RGB will save the images CMYK colors. Are you saying that I can change the Mode on my PSD file from CMYK to RGB then Save it as a PNG and my colors will be CMYK when the file is sent to the printer? I'm using distressed brushes so my design will have torn edges with a transparent background and I'm printing on a black t-shirt. Also, if it matters, I'm using sublimation ink and will use a heat press. New to this, so I appreciate your time to answer. Thanks, Orlando
So I'm kind of saying that.... here is what really happens, I hope this makes sense.... you create your design with CMYK colors....... then you will need to save the file as a PNG, which is also RGB so your design is now an RGB file but still has the CMYK you used because those CMYK color are the same in RGB..... when your design gets printed it will use the CMYK process.... so it will take your RGB file and try to match the colors..... lucky for you, you started off with CMYK colors so they should match...... what could have happened if you didn't start with CMYK is that the color you provided would be an RGB color that doesn't have a good match when printing in CMYK so it would look different... really bright blue would look dull for example.... hope that makes sense
@@DetourShirts Thanks for the reply, Juna! Makes perfect sense now, yes. Found myself going around in circles, so I appreciate the clarification.
Hey, Juna. Follow-up question. Do you have a preference for patriotic designs? I'm a little worried about how the red / blue would show up on black. Thank you!
You can always do a little lighter red and blue.... change you color palette to match the black background
@@DetourShirts Thanks, Juna! I just went over to Kittle and grabbed a couple off of there. One a more "classic" look and one a more retro look. No idea why I didn't do that sooner. I need to go look at a shirt I have too and see what their red / blue looks like live. Thanks again!
Hello 👋 juno sir. Its really awesome video. I have a question. If I work w/ color pallet, I need only affinity designer. Or also need photoshop sir ?? 🤔
Yes, you can use Photoshop or Illustrator they both have CMYK palettes
Ok sir Thank you 😊
Rgb uses light to make colors cmyk uses paint or ink which is limited and opaqe
Exactly right... which is why you can't use RGB on shirts... Shirts are not a light based product, it's a paint or in based product.
Thank you for the great video. But now I didn’t understand something. MBA says to design in sRGB and now you’re saying to design in CMYK because everything what is printed will be in CMYK. So when I Design now in CMYK and save the file as PNG it will automatically convert those colors to RGB? Or do I need to do some settings?
Yes, correct... PNGs are always RGB.... but all printers including DTG printers use a CMYK process to print..... Most CMYK colors are also RGB colors so you should be fine if you use CMYK... but there are some bright RGB colors that are not CMYK colors and that's where the print comes out looking different from what you see on screen.
@@DetourShirts thank you. Please make more videos like this. This was very helpful.
Printful also say to design in sRGB.
“At Printful, we recommend saving and uploading design files in the sRGB color profile, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to be exact!
Our DTG printers work with an upgraded CMYK color space. We’ve added more ink colors, allowing us to achieve print colors that fall outside of the CMYK color range. The closest color space to our upgraded CMYK is the sRGB and that’s why we recommend it for print files.”
First!
Thanks for being first... Here you go..🏆
Which one do you prefer for the Stickers (RGB/CMYK) ?
So I always use CMYK to get the colors right but then save it as a PNG which is RGB for the final.
@@DetourShirts Understood! Thanks for your time :)
Hi Juna, can you teach us how to save a png with CMYK colors? I am using photoshop, when working on CMYK colors, only can save as jpg.
You can't... You can design with CMYK colors but once you save as a PNG file it will be RGB.....but I'm suggesting to use CMYK anyway so that you are save when the PNG file is used to print because it will have to be turned back to CMYK... avoid using those bright RGB colors that can not print
But the problem is once design with CMYK colours, it can’t save as png file 😅
Hmmmm... I haven't used Photoshop in a while but I thought they could save any artwork as a PNG
how do you add color code to the Affinity Designer? Please
Open up the color palette and type the codes into the CMYK inputs
@@DetourShirts thank you :)
Is there any way to convert RGB image to CMYK just for printing purpose ?
Yes of course... You can save it in a different format that supports CMYK
@@DetourShirts thanks
hey bud. redbubble says to do the piece in cmyk, then to save it in rgb format, then upload. am i right? how does this process work? can you do a video on this topic? walk us through it? or just give me a quick rundown here. thanks in advance :) i only work in cmyk, and upload in cmyk. sometimes when i do it their way, my piece looks off. as you show here why it is off. the two color palettes see different spectrums.
Yes, correct... if you save as a png file it will convert it to RGB... all png files are RGB
@@DetourShirts really? i save to png, and when i do in cmyk, it looks like what i made. when i save in rgb, at times it looks different due to the color palette spectrum. i do NOT think it saves to rgb color scheme automatically. i save in cmyk format.
Hi Juna, My listings in Teepublic store can't be found in the marketplace. So, I did contact the teepublic support Team and their answer was like that :
"... Due to legal or creative reasons, your designs will not show up in search or on the "new" or "browse" areas of the site. However, you will still be able to sell your work through the direct link to your page or to the individual product pages..."
This answer was more automatic and vague!
What should I do now? Close this store and create a new one? or keep emailing them, even though I don't think it gonna make any progress.
I've been hearing about this lately... I'm not sure if creating a new store will help... ultimately TeePublic can show (or not show) whatever they want ... it's their site.... kind of stinks but not much to do besides sell on your own website and make your own rules
Hi, What do you think about buying anything from Amazon to make sure that my e-mail will not enter a spam e-mail? before invitation
I hope you understand what I mean
I mean it could work... I didn't do that but it couldn't hurt I guess
@@DetourShirts thank you so much
Is CMYK better for stickers than RGB ?
Yes... Remember RGB is just for monitors with light..... Computer monitors, cell phones, TVs, etc
@@DetourShirts thank u..
Hmm. My Screenshots are so pixelated that getting the right color of it is hard. Too many shades
Yeah... I like to zoom in or use the zoomed in version
I think you are wrong with CMYK and printing on shirts. Many POD services use Direct to Garment (DTG) printers which use RGB color Space.
The RGB part is the file but the way it prints is CMYK....You can not print in RGB but one way to find out is to pick some bright RGB colors, upload it and buy a print from Amazon or whatever POD shop you use.... and see what happens.
Nach der Best Practices von MBA sollen die Designs in RGB eingereicht werden. Auch wenn ich das bis jetzt nicht verstanden habe, so habe ich bis heute meine Designs in RGB eingereicht.
Du machst es wohl nicht und Du fährst bei MBA gut damit.
The designs are submitted in RGB because they are saved as a PNG... I'm just designing in CMYK.
row file Give me
Huh?
My man put a pillow under you lol. so awkward seeing you strain to sit higher.
Yeah... I had problems with the camera at that point... I think I fixed that...lol
@@DetourShirts lol good. Great content
