Using ColorPrint PU Matte Printable

Matte colors have a flat, low-shine finish that looks close to screen printed ink. They suit vintage designs, athletic and streetwear looks, and garments that will be photographed under bright lights.

✓Use matte when you want the design to look printed rather than like vinyl. It is a good match for soft-hand cotton tees.
✓Matte and gloss versions of the same color look different side by side. Do not mix them on one order unless the contrast is intentional.
✓Matte reduces glare in photos and under stage or gym lighting, which helps on team and event wear.
✓Always use a cover sheet. It protects the flat finish from the heat platen.
