Sublistar 12-Color DTF T-Shirt Printing VS Normal Printing
Previously, some people asked whether the DTF printer could print nine colors, Sublistar responded positively to the customer’s demand for multi-color printing and successfully developed a 12-color printer. It meets the printing needs of customers with a wider color gamut and realizes printing-level high-quality output.
As you can see from the picture above, the latest 12-color DTF printer can achieve high-definition output. Compared with ordinary printing, the color transition is more natural, the picture quality is more delicate, and the one-piece molding reduces printing defects.
Epson I3200-A1 Print Head
The 12-color DTF t-shirt printer & shaker is equipped with 4 Epson I3200-A1 printheads, outputting unparalleled high-precision picture quality, making up for the unnatural color transition on the screen caused by fewer colors before.

FAQ
What Is 13-Colour DTF Printing?
A 13-colour DTF printing system expands the traditional CMYK colour space by adding Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Black, Light Light Black, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, and White inks. The extended colour gamut enables smoother gradients, higher colour accuracy, and more faithful reproduction of photographs, artwork, and premium textile graphics.
What is the difference between 2C+2W and 13-colour DTF printing?
The 2 Colour + 2 White (2C+2W) configuration is optimized for high-speed commercial production, making it ideal for large-volume T-shirt printing, workwear, sportswear, and Print-on-Demand (POD) businesses. It delivers excellent productivity while maintaining vibrant colours and reliable white ink coverage.
The 13-colour configuration expands the standard colour gamut by adding Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Black, Light Light Black, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, and White inks. This enables smoother gradients, richer colours, more accurate skin tones, and superior photographic image reproduction, making it the preferred choice for premium apparel decoration and high-end textile printing.

Can a standard 2C+2W configuration be upgraded to 13-colour printing?
Yes. The SUBLISTAR DTF-6004 STAR IV is designed with a flexible colour configuration that allows customers to upgrade from the standard 2 Colour + 2 White (2C+2W) setup to an extended 13-colour printing configuration.
The upgrade involves replacing the ink set, reconfiguring the printhead channel layout, and installing the dedicated SUBLISTAR 13-colour ICC colour profile. Once configured, the printer can achieve a significantly wider colour gamut, smoother tonal transitions, and highly accurate colour reproduction for premium textile applications.
This upgrade allows businesses to expand from high-speed commercial production to high-end colour-critical printing without purchasing a new printer, helping protect long-term equipment investment.
