How to Set Up Printing Colors with Custy?

The Printing Colors tab is about ink colors on the design, not the color of the blank shirt.

You can give shoppers a simple list (Black, White, Red, and so on). Or turn on Advanced color palette so they can pick more colors in the Design Lab. You can also add a little extra price for some inks.

Step 1: Open Printing Colors

Click Products, then Printing Types & Pricing. Add or edit a printing type. Click the Printing Colors tab.

  • Open Add Printing Type or Edit Printing Type.
  • Click Printing Colors.

Starting colors

New printing types start with White and Black. Change them or delete them to match how you print.

  • Pick the Color value [HEX] with the color box so the swatch looks right.
  • Optional: type an Added Price [ $ ] if this ink costs more.
  • Click the trash button on a row to remove that color.

Step 4: Save or Update

Click Save or Update at the bottom so this color list is stored on the printing type.

  • Click Save or Update.
