🎯 Grey Scale for Color Change and Color Staining
What is the Grey Scale?
The Grey Scale is a globally accepted standard for assessing colour change and staining after washing, rubbing, sunlight exposure, or perspiration.
It helps evaluate both colour durability on the fabric itself and colour transfer to other fabrics.
Rating Scale: Grade 5 (Best) ➡️ Grade 1 (Worst)
Grade | Description | |
---|---|---|
5 | Excellent: No visible colour change or staining | |
4 | Good: Slight colour change or staining | |
3 | Fair: Noticeable change or staining (minimum acceptable) | |
2 | Poor: Obvious colour change and staining | |
1 | Very Poor: Severe colour change and heavy staining |
🔍 Industry Comparison: Wet Wash vs. Dry Clean
Type | Wash Fastness Requirement | Impact on Product |
---|---|---|
Wet Wash | ≥ Grade 4 (High-end use ≥ Grade 4.5) | Essential for daily washable garments, activewear, and kidswear |
Dry Clean | ≥ Grade 3 (Luxury garments ≥ Grade 4) | Important for fashion, suits, formalwear, leather |
How to Transfer DTF?
- Design and print patterns on DTF PET film.
- Wear gloves evenly cover the DTF adhesive powder on the printed surface, and shake off the excess powder.
- The preheating temperature is controlled at 110-130°C.
- Hot pressing temperature is maintained at 120-160°C. Place the processed transfer sheet on the fabric surface and press for 8-15 seconds.
- Cold peeling or hot peeling can be selected.

DTF Powder Usage Instructions
