How it works
From design to screens in three steps
No separation skills, no Photoshop, no monthly bill.
Install once
Install DYNEVERSE on your Mac and paste the VTone script into Affinity. Takes about a minute.
Pick your artwork
Select an image layer in Affinity, run VTone, then choose shirt color, print size and how many inks.
Separate & apply
Every ink comes back as its own layer in Affinity, and film is saved for burning screens.
Features
Everything a print shop needs
Smart spot-color inks
VTone reads your artwork and picks the inks for you, then names each one with the nearest Pantone.
- Up to 12 inks, merges near-identical colors
- Optional plastisol ink library
- Black line art kept crisp on its own layer
White underbase that just works
Printing on dark shirts? VTone builds the underbase automatically, with choke so it never peeks out.
- Adjustable strength and choke
- Optional highlight white printed last
- Preview on white, black or colored fabric
Real halftones, ready for film
Gradients and soft shading become clean halftone dots at your LPI and angle, ready to print as film.
- 22.5° or 45° screen angle, any LPI
- Dot gain compensation and minimum dot
- 1-bit film TIFFs with registration marks
Layers back in Affinity

FAQ
Questions
Do I need Photoshop or a subscription?
No. VTone works inside Affinity, which is free. You pay once for VTone and keep it.
Does it work on Windows?
Windows is in progress. Your purchase code will work on Windows too when it ships. One code covers 2 computers, Mac or Windows.
macOS says the app can't be opened.
This happens the first time because VTone comes from an independent studio, not the App Store. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway, then open the installer again. You only do this once.
Can I move my license to a new computer?
Yes. On the old one click “Deactivate this computer” in the VTone license window, then activate on the new one.
Will there be more tools?
Yes. DYNEVERSE is a home for affordable Affinity tools. Each tool is sold separately and installs into the same app.
