Washed 10 Times - Did they fade?? (Printify + Etsy Print On Demand Wash Test)

I have a great idea for a video subject. Many people starting POD get the deer in headlights reaction when they go through their Printify control panel for the first time, and they don’t know what settings are best for what, especially the charging sales tax fields Printify has, as sellers don’t know if they’re paying the sales tax on ever POD coming from Etsy, or if the seller still only pays the wholesale price, and Etsy is responsible for collecting the sales tax on the sale. Overall, videos about the ins and outs of the Etsy and Printify integration process, is what new sellers need most help on getting set up just right.

[@personalguntrainer]

Yes please! I have my very first listing, and I don't know how to set the choices for this!!! Please help with a walk thru for printify side and etsy side.

[@DavidCabrera-j8i]

Very important to remark to customers that printed tshirts should be washed inside out. Thanks for the video Cassiy, I think I'm going with awkward styles and monster digital

[@JoshepGomez-c8v]

Great video, I ordered a sample from awkward styles months ago and the print still looking amazing. The correct way to wash t-shirts is crucial to ensuring they last longer.

[@Fabianaisfab]

Oh my goodness! Your kitty is gorgeous! 😍🐈💕 And, as always, another super helpful video. Thanks for doing the wash test. 😊

[@rickmartinez1769]

Appreciate the work that went into this video. Now I can safely put in my listing descriptions for sweatshirts to wash them inside out to make the design last longer, thanks to your test.

[@kaleyjanenigh]

The "Are you fking kidding me?" in the background when you're petting Jack is PRICELESS.

Thank you for all of your hard work on your videos. Love your channel.

[@triciap6006]

Thats really good to know. It make me rethink using print on demand if it looks that bad after only 10 washes. Even following instructions it should hold up better.

[@April-rs8gz]

Gorgeous kitty! Thanks for sharing with us! ❤️ Thank you so much for doing this wash tests! It definitely helps us newbies!

[@samson2322]

Thanks for doing this. This is exactly the issue I’m facing at the moment. SwiftPODs quality hasn’t been great in my experience. I had a reprint come back bad quality . I have a T-shirt that after 3 washes looks very worn and I washed inside out on cold water.

[@fittingpiecesandco]

I have the same experience with SwiftPOD and want to switch. They just do not last in the wash, so many reprints issued because of it. Super disappointing because they offer the most colors options!

[@nickn6211]

Same issue here with swift POD

Random comment but your cat is so handsome!! Love seeing him in your videos :)

[@LaurenYockney]

You’ve convinced me to give it a go

[@kaurichelan]

This was great! It helped seeing the textures really up close too. Another video idea may be about the method/process if you ever have to edit listings down the road. For example, what edits you should do through Etsy and what you should do in Printify. (Ie if you tweak your design, if you want to change shipping providers).

[@LawrenRosePhotography]

So, I have purchased 2 samples from Dimona Tee. 1 wash and half of the print is gone. have you ever tested dimona tee? it happened to 2 of my shirts

[@ShannonsBudgets]

Thank you for sharing and all the hard work testing.

[@tektonnik3336]

So I use the Unisex garment dyed t-shirt by swift pod for my brand. However after ust one wash, the logo on the front and back of mine looked so much more chopped up and faded. After you washed it, the color faded but the design stayed nice. Why didn't this happen for me?

[@nickn6211]

Same issue for me, swift POD went down in quality

[@LindaM.Tartaglia]

I appreciate you for sharing this, excellent!

[@MileyonDisney]

Cool. Love the kitty. I wish you could have included a home-sublimated shirt in the test (if you have the equipment). About a week after spending a couple thousand on sublimation printing equipment, I learned about POD. It has easily paid for itself AND my equipment, since I started last September... thanks, in large part, to people like you.

[@Lisa-uq4st]

Thank you so much for doing this experiment for us, Cassiy! I didn’t realize what a difference following the washing directions made. I have a question about the shirt you are actually wearing in the second half. I’m assuming it’s DTG printed, but just wanted to ask. I haven’t tried bright colors on a dark shirt yet but that looks amazing! Thanks so much for all you do!♥️

[@CassiyJohnson]

That shirt is actually from a different video where I ordered samples from 6 t-shirt vendors on Printify! Here is the link for you

Hey Cassiy! Love all your video, super helpful and well made. Question, have you ever used HugePOD? I am impressed with their product selections but I read mixed reviews online. Have you ever made a video about them?

[@MinaGilbert151]

thats amazing, ty for sharing

[@JaniceDe-x7w]

Hi Cassiy - thanks for doing this. Just curious, I have an old Bella Canvas 3001 shirt and it is super soft. Are they like this when new, or do they soften as they are washed? Thanks!

[@dexterous7516]

Hi Cassiy, Thanks for putting out great content, I have learned a lot from your videos. I have a quick question - as a new shop, should I use Printify Or direct integration with the print provider? I am just not able to figure out this that - For example, I see Awkward Styles is available as a direct integration to Shopify and also as a provider from Printify. I do see there is a difference between the costs when going directly with Awkward Styles vs Printify, but Printify integrates with loads of other providers. When just starting out, what is best for me ? Choose Printify and select Awkward Styles as the provider ? Or directly integrate with Awkward Styles ?

[@eleynsplants3813]

Same lighting is required when doing comparatives. Just looks faded to me even though you say its not. Please update to show same light comparison.

[@ArnySkamell333]

AWESOME it really helped me

[@amyroseauthorofficial]

Question, do you ever worry about quality issues? how do you know which POD company to use even after checking quality? I assume you don't buy every shirt before selling?

[@VV-iw1ly]

Hi, can you do a video on how you use everbee and sale samari step by step for getting niche, title and tags ,that you use for real in your store. Your real honest strategy you use.

[@AmethystRumble]

Nice. thanks for sharing

[@stuardjimenez7459]

Hey Cassidy if you have to choose between awkward styles and swiftPOD which would you choose ?

[@nickn6211]

Swift POD has lower quality now, I'm switching to awkward styles as we speak

[@cybercurse-c1t]

does monster digital always print with DTG? i've had some customers of mine complain that it looks as if the design as been "printed on".

[@P-Funk69]

That was helpful thanks. I also notice that the sweatshirts pill a lot also.

[@richlovn539]

Great videos!

[@nikiloheit]

Thanks for doing this test, it’s really helpful. Plus you bring up a good point I’m stressing the Karen instructions so that the customer can enjoy their garment for a lot longer. I was wondering if you’ve had any trouble with print quality to start. I designed a red sweatshirt with white lettering, and when it came, the lettering was so pale that you could see the red right through it making the lettering actually be pink. Print is sending me a new one to see if they can correct this but I thought I’d ask you as well.

[@naytalie]

I have one question, did you dry these shirts between washes? Thanks

[@CassiyJohnson]

Yes I did a full dry cycle between as well!

[@Chals3]

Hello Cassiy how are you? I'm new to your channel and Etsy in general and I watched some of your videos which by the way are soooo helpful so thank you so much 🙏 but I have one important question for you, so you talked about how we should use mockups for our t shirts and other listings and not printifys mockups and I agree they are boring, but when ever I go to printifys and put my design on a shirt it only gives me their mockups for publishing and I don't know how to put the mockup I purchased from Etsy please help

[@CassiyJohnson]

The Printify mockups will get published to Etsy, then on Etsy, you delete the Printify ones and upload the ones that you purchased! Here is a link to my free mini course to walk you through all of the little steps of making your first listing! www.cassiyjohnson.com/etsypodlaunchguide

Thank you for providing such valuable information through your videos. I really appreciate your content. I would like to inquire about a specific aspect of my business. Could you kindly explain the recommended methods or best practices for obtaining phone numbers from clients on Etsy to facilitate the order process on Printify? Currently, I have noticed that phone numbers are not displayed in the order details on Etsy, but Printify requires this information during the order placement process. Since I plan to offer personalized items, I need to find a way to collect this information manually. Any guidance or suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for your valuable insights.

[@serenditymuse]

I notice some pixels missing in letters after washing in the inside out 5 washes test. No pick deal but you can tell if you look sharp. So if you want that old favorite shirt look fast don't turn them inside out. :)

[@mistell89]

After looking up doing print on demand, any option I choose for what to sell, the price is above what people are selling for on Etsy by quite a bit. Take 12 ounce insulated wine tumblers for example. They sell with shipping for $20 and change but yet people one Etsy are selling ones for like $15? I’m confused to how people exactly make money selling print on demand products. Any insight would be great.

[@Boogiehill]

Great video

[@juliep1122]

This is my biggest fear!

[@shamanictechnologies]

This test omits a crucial fact. Black is the most popular tshirt color. Prints on black need the white underbase for the top layer to stand out on the black. It's much easier printing on the lighter color garments, and the prints last longer on lighter colors. Even with this, after 5 washes they all look faded. You say that DTG shirts are rated for 50 washes? That is pure promotional BS from the print companies.

[@JasmineSwann]

Why didn't you just wait until it was daylight outside? This isnt helpful because we cant see the true impact of the wash.

[@itube5353]

The entire study is irrelevant when you consistently take pics in different lighting

[@FireJach]
