Streamline Your DTF/DTG Workflow with Customluke’s Dither-Out Export Tool

Skip the messy pre-press steps. Tired of exports looking washed out from varying opacities? This Photoshop-based export template uses thresholds, dithering, and blend-if settings to automatically knock out backgrounds and optimize your artwork for DTF and DTG printing.

Instead of manually separating blacks or wrestling with fades, you can instantly generate ink-saving halftones and clean knockouts that are ready to print. Most importantly, your designs will feel more built into the fabric by removing excess color and replacing it with subtle, controlled halftones.

Key Features

• Automated Halftoning – Convert solid fills or gradients into halftone patterns that keep detail sharp while reducing ink usage.
• Custom Pattern Dithering – Apply halftone, diffusion, grain, and more to match your style.
• Smart Knockouts – Use thresholds and blend-ifs to cleanly remove black backgrounds or excess fills.
• Time-Saving Automation – Export in seconds with professional, screen-print–style results.
• Two Versions – A Pro template for full customization and a Lite action for quick setups.

Benefits for Printers

• Ink Efficiency – Save on ink without sacrificing quality.
• Fade-Free Prints – Eliminate weak half-opacity areas; every element is either 100% ink or nothing.
• Smoother Gradients – Add depth with halftoning and dithering instead of flat fades.
• Built-In Look – Knockouts and halftones make designs feel naturally integrated into the shirt.
• Consistent Results – Every file is prepped to a professional standard, whether it’s one shirt or a full run.
