— dtf · dtg · screen print

alone: $7/mo · $47/yr · $149 lifetime · in the pass: included
White underbase, automatically
Auto-builds the white-ink layer with a 0–2 px choke so it never bleeds past your color print. No black box, no white haze — just the design, printed clean.
Halftone control that matches your press
LPI 15–85, angle 0–45°, five dot shapes (round / ellipse / diamond / square / line). Dial breathable prints with the dot size that fits your printer.
Smart knockout + real levels
Click any pixel to set the shirt color — the design integrates with the garment instead of riding on top. Photoshop-style black/white/gamma over a real histogram.
Five views. One source of truth.
Toggle Original, Separation, Mask, Underbase, or a draggable Before/After slider — verify every layer at the actual shirt color before exporting.
Gang sheet builder included
Stop paying $10–30/month for a separate tool. Auto-nest with rotation, per-image background removal, tile-export huge sheets — all from the same browser tab.
Mockup Studio included
Preview designs on real garment mockups — 80+ colors per style, front & back views, scene backgrounds, watermark branding, client-ready exports in one click.
Effects Studio included
Stack live grunge, distress, vintage fades, texture, and recolor on finished art — non-destructive, DTF-clean edges, straight back into the halftone editor.
Photoshop plugin included
Same engine inside Photoshop — install the .ccx once, run separations from Window → Extensions. Your FoundryPass includes plugin access with a license key issued automatically.

— from the shop floor
“We were paying an outside artist $20 a file just to get clean separations. ToneSmith pays for itself before lunch on most days. The white base just works.”
“I’ve used the big WordPress separator for two years. ToneSmith is faster, cheaper, and the live preview is night and day. Switched in a week.”
“First DTF order I prepped with ToneSmith — zero white halo. I checked twice because I didn’t believe it. My customer didn’t believe it either. Repeat order in 4 days.”
“The Photoshop plugin is the secret. Same controls inside PS as the web app, no swapping back and forth. My designer was up to speed in an hour.”
“Before ToneSmith, halftones were the part of every order I dreaded. Now it’s the part where I close my laptop and go push the press button.”
“I run a small home shop and didn’t think this was for shops my size. It IS. The free trial got me on day one and I haven’t gone back.”
Most failed prints aren’t the printer’s fault — they’re the artwork’s fault. ToneSmith is built by printers, for printers — and in the FoundryPass it comes with the rest of the workshop.
Alone it’s $7/mo. In the pass, it’s one of four.
