In this episode of Deep Dive with Colin, we take on a cool challenge: making a DTF transfer look just like a screen-printed design. Colin works with a lion design and shows how to recreate it as a white halftone print on a black shirt. The goal? To make it look and feel like traditional screen printing.

Colin dives into the details, like handling dot gain, fixing resolution problems, and making sure the design transfers perfectly. The results are put side by side with a real screen print, and the comparison is awesome.
