T Shirt Printing: Everything You Need to Know

[@christianharbin7979]

I’m amazed this video doesn’t have more views. Thanks so much for consolidating this valuable information into one video.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thank you so much! Glade we can help!

[@sociallysober8217]

They don’t have more views because they don’t recognize or respect the power of the Black Woman’s dollar power the way Chinese do.

[@slumsfamilyproductions]

Wish I can film a video for my channel of a tour in your facility. I would love to see a tour of how you guys make a shirt from scratch it’ll be great for my project at school

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hey! You can come and film a video at our HQ any time! Connect with us at [e-mail]

[@ReneeHarris2018]

Thanks for the breakdown of the fabrics. I love working with bella canvas

[@danyshimony]

thank you for the inspiring uploads! really love it. thanks

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Glad you are enjoying them! Thanks so much for the love & support!

[@sociallysober8217]

You need to talk about how your company discriminates against Black Women being represented in your videos or Website, and how you don’t want us as customers.

[@skiplake6775]

either cut the music or get a mic that works good!!

[@googleuser5764]

shouldve used a good mic no matter what, the audio litertly ruins this video

[@imperia6368]

Get a ear

[@jasonknowles5665]

Just curious if you make PIMA cotton t shirts????

[@cheche2789]

I wanna know the playlist used in this video and the video is very informative thumbs up for your work.

[@88BNUTS]

I am finding this video to be good valuable information as I have been in debate on making the decision for my clothing line.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

We love hearing that!

[@lxMatrixHD]

Which one did you go with?

[@carrieelizabeth3203]

please ditch the music. so distracting.

[@imperia6368]

Does print last long on polyster

[@djnodj]

Good/Great documentation. I'm old school print by hand, book it. Sound like DTG is lame, might scratch off by hand, WTF? Get in the game, screenprint like it counts.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thanks! Haha screen printing can be more durable if DTG isn't done right

[@jaymewilkerson6698]

Could these ladies please speak slower and clearly??? Cannot understand the end of her sentences.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

We'll make sure to do that next time!

[@kidscoverthe90s56]

Such a great informational video. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and taking the time to educate us! Quick question...can you sublimate on dark poly garments? If so, would you have to worry about dye migration? Thank you!

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Glad you enjoyed! Sublimation is a technique that only works on light colored garments. When you see a dark shirt that is sublimated, that means that the entire (white) fabric was sublimated with dark ink, Hope that helps!

[@_shaunbrown_]

HUGE fan of the CVC... great fit and AWESOME to print on too!

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

We agree!

[@SunshineAndSails]

DTG sucks. Faded colors, terrible longevity. 5 washes in and you look like you've had the shirt for a decade.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

We've sen a lot of success and happiness with customers who choose DTG as their printing method! It's all about the right balance of quality garment, pre-treat and inks coming together.

[@coastalbrake8886]

Hi Bella Canvas. I wanted to compare the quality of the printing techniques on the fabrics you mentioned and was wondering -- is there a recommended "test"/archetype graphic that I should use? I was thinking of making a graphic that has a color wheel, a picture and some text, but I figured there might already be a standard for this in the industry.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

We haven't seen anything like that, but it might exist somewhere. There is a common graphic used for DTG testing that is basically a bunch of Pantone squares so you can see how each color would turn out on the fabric. Cool idea!

[@coastalbrake8886]

Gotcha. Thanks!

[@bigsmoke4568]

Watching this video while taking a dump, learned a lot, thanks!

[@puneetmishra305]

Which process will be best if I want to print white pattern on dark colour cotton t-shirt?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi there! You could really use any technique other than sublimation. If you DTG printing you'll just want to make sure you're putting a white under base layer down first. Also screen printing won't give you any troubles.

[@gpg4424]

Need but clear and loud tone . Some sentence endings are are being swallowed IN.

[@Honesty001]

Good video knowledgeable

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Glad it helped out!

[@rajanpalgill]

Thanks shawty you really out here helping people out

[@liamnaga6099]

Hi. Very informative video. Thanks Alot.❤️ I'm confused whether I'll go with Heat Transfer or Screen Printing on 100% cotton. Please help. (My priority is with which method stays longer over time) PS. Excuse my English 🌚.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi Liam! Both heat transfer and screen printing are great methods when printing on our garments and will yield to a long life for your printed product.

[@olajokesjourney]

Good Evening, Can I screen print on 80Z to a 120z canvas fabrics, also on denim fabric or what method would you recommend to print on these fabrics?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Yes you can! Screen printing is probably best

[@shujaamehmood806]

Love you 😗

[@samuellongdon9932]

Fantastic information

[@neogeo4751]

Please excuse my ignorance on this topic, but are the types of ink mentioned in the beginning all Screen Printing?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

No worries! Plastisol, water base and discharge ink are all screen printing inks. DTG, sublimation and heat press are a different printing techniques.

[@panafricanist8876]

amazing video , but very unfortunate you don't ship shirts to Ghana when i tried buying a few for our new line

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

We are working on it! 🙌

[@nashaebanks7173]

what song is this? I would love to use as the background music for my models to walk to.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

The first song is Hopes Up by Drama Duo :)

[@coastalbrake8886]

Great video! What track is playing in the background at 6:42?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thanks! It's Février - La montagne

[@draganjojic9850]

the nicely foto on the world TESLA

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

:)

[@jagans6409]

Dear Bella Canvas, First of all I like to appreciate your work, these videos are very informative. Thanks for all the videos. Can you please let me know the 'Fabric' , 'Printing method' , 'Ink' being used by popular brand like Wrangler (for t shirt where they claim its 'made of 100% cotton' ). And please let me know which 'combination' works best for 100% cotton. Thanks in advance!!

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi Jagan - thanks for that feedback! We're not sure for Wrangler in particular, but screen printing or DTG are the two most common print techniques for 100% cotton. Screen printing is more cost effective for large volume orders and smaller runs can be better suited for DTG. Hope that helps!

[@jagans6409]

Dear BELLA CANVAS, Thanks for swift reply. BTW Wrangler is just an example, it can be any popular brand. Anyways, I'm still finding the right answer for my above question❓

[@waclothing6223]

What would best printing techniques be on T-shirt contain 90% Cotton and 6% elastan ?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

You could do do a plastisol or water based screen print or DTG should be possible as well!

[@waclothing6223]

Thanks for taking your time to answer me; Stay blessed@@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL

[@LarryBlue55]

Hey, I would like to hear what the person is explaining on youtube, the music should be lower in sound the volume, is interrupting the person who is explaining ?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hello! You can actually get all the details (and more!) included in this video in our blog post, linked above, also here: bit.ly/2xScenB

[@GAMEDOGWARRIORS]

Awesome info! U rule!

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

thank you! glad you liked it!

[@IamBerrii]

Do you guys offer printing?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

No, we just manufacture the blanks! But we worked with expert printers to pull this info together for this video.

[@madisontaylorz]

what an odd way to pronounce cotton

[@goodhomieprofits3551]

Heard that as I was reading your comment 😂😂😂

[@msmith719]

Yep. Cah-tin.

[@intelliGENeration]

Slub?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

It's called vintage slub and has a subtle transparency. More common in the retail world vs. wholesale

[@Screamus]

Normalize your volume please. A lot of your videos have low sound.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@EmimiU]

Do you guys ship to the UK?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Mimi DeAnnointed email [e-mail], and we’ll connect you with our UK rep!

[@solutionsasia9673]

Please can you reshoot this video, remove the echo to hear you clearly, slow down what you're saying to understand you better & identify the different fabrics more clearly (you're talking about different fabrics and inks next to each other but only showing info for one etc). I've watched you in others and when interviewing people, this isn't a problem but you're being under the spotlight seems to make you more nervous and speed everything up. I only ask as I think this is a great info video on physically seeing the results of all the printing methods across a range of fabrics that's invaluable. I've tried with subtitles but I can't read and see which you mean and the results at the same time and understand. Thank you - loving all the channel help, guides, info etc - very helpful.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi There! Is there a specific fabric or technique that you have a question on? We shot this in our showroom, and unfortunately that's the reason there is an echo. Check out this blog post which covers everything in the video: blog.bellacanvas.com/ultimate-printing-guide/

[@solutionsasia9673]

Thx, I have already. I'll try and make a subtitle file lol. Please don't take what I say the wrong way, it's just a lot of info that's very useful, and put side by side with say The Dream Junction video's, I can hear and follow everything in those. No, there's nothing specific because it's all required knowledge.

[@missstone02]

Do you have any expert printers you would recommend?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Email us at [e-mail]!

[@missstone02]

Wilco! Thanks!

[@lxMatrixHD]

missstone02 did you find one?

[@jaquanstokes9329]

VERY HELPFUL !! SUB 🤛🏿 I also have a question about if im going to have someone screen print for me. What will i need to have for them after i have the design made. Thank you

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi Jaquan! That will most likely depend on which screen printer you are working with! Before you begin a project together, they will communicate that with you!
