Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!

[@KerryEgeler]

Awesome!

[@tribzman3977]

This is a fruitless comparison, as there's much more to see before final judging. A one-off thing like this doesn't give the whole picture. You need wash tests and reordering to show CONSISTENCY. If one printer holds up in those 2 categories, THEN you have a much better idea of who's the best.

[@PeerlessReads]

Dude... did I miss the artwork? How on earth can you check a T without knowing what the intended artwork was?

[@DELINQ]

And maybe actual measurements to describe size and placement. Bizarre video

[@ITAIGARY]

Need to see them next to the original design to really tell what is more accurate to the color by my opinion... Thanks!

[@DustinWardlow]

I feel the true test should be the color "correctness" vs the artwork that was sent (even in DTG, I create with Pantone color info for solid colors). Also, when silkscreening, I can set a specific width, etc. So, aside from being centered and straight, I think a DTG printer should be judged on the scale of the print vs what was sent. If they don't offer a way to set that during the upload and mock-up, they shouldnt even be considered an option. Dig all your videos though. GREAT channel. Thank You!

[@KerryEgeler]

I agree, and I appreciate this feedback!

[@Ryker150]

So which store would be the one?

[@AliDaly]

You should do a part two and see how they look after being washed. Monster Digital has screwed up multiple times for me on simple designs.

[@CesarMonteroOrozco]

Correct. Monster prints fade after the first or second wash completely

[@cnags89]

@@CesarMonteroOrozcostrange, I’ve had monster digital shirts I’ve worn to bed for years and washed countless times with no design fading at all 🤷‍♀️ strange the quality differences. My black ink ones fade more it seems but my white ink ones don’t budge

This has been my issue. Ive ordered from 3 different vendors, they look great on arrival but after 2 washes they look super faded.

[@jacobmichard1229]

Are the ones that are faded being washed inside out in cold water?

[@kyleteague3903]

I used monster digital for all of my designs on my store. I was happy at first (I buy/wear all my own designs) until I realized the print was crooked. Then even more disappointed after one wash and it’s peeling super bad. Hence why I’m here now watching this video lol

[@flaneurishkidd]

can you give us review on which pod provider did you use now?

[@teddykenz]

I’m curious…what did the original design look like compared to what was printed? Seems that between them, they all printed the blue differently. Was the Monster Digital one the closest to the actual file or was it more like Awkward Styles?

[@KerryEgeler]

It would say the monster digital was pretty accurate!

[@teddykenz]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@chicagocabbierick8330]

I used Monster Digital in 2021 and some prints were slanted ..the words were not straight or level. . They were crooked. And the colors were kind of dull and blah. They were not bright and vivid. After a few washes, some of the print started peeling. Two shirts had stitching that came undone. I tried to contact them. I called and their phone rang and rang and they never answered. I tried at least twice. Another 2 times I left messages on their voicemail and they never called me back. I emailed and they never emailed me back.

[@fiftynation]

You should shown diameters of image to be printed and the actual picture. This video doesn't mean much if you don't have the actual picture to compare to. The fact awkward style was off center is auto no. The diamon was way to small. Shouldve shown original picture to see who had the most accurate colors to what you were actually submitting.

[@leroifox]

The Awkward Styles placement was as intended; it was an awkward placement. 😏 That was a digital dad joke. 😉

[@KerryEgeler]

Haha

[@Fu3000]

underground threads has an unsaturated look and maybe this is what they want to give the underground vibe?

[@David-rp7tk]

You should've done black shirts to see how they hold up in the wash. White shirts are always good with DTG.

[@vickiesue]

please do a black tshirt review next

[@tt4284]

I've found if you place your design in a document that is the maximum size for that shirt/supplier it seems to kind of generally help as far as their placement and the actual size these suppliers will print. The suppliers don't say anywhere how much they will reduce/enlarge the size of your design for a specific size. Monster will blow that shit up to maximum if you don't place your design within a file that's already max dimensions. I've also had printers way way way over shrink my designs for smaller sizes to absolutely ridiculous porportions. Colors, print quality, registration on dark shirts... it feels like a dice roll every time, even with the suppliers I generally like.

[@christophecoat1914]

For Awkward Styles, if you look carefully, it was centered to the collar but the shirt itself was crooked

[@leroifox]

Kerry, as mentioned by another viewer, could you please do a 1, 2, 3 wash test of these tees? This way, we can see if the best *looking* designs hold up as well as they look... or not. Thanks for the video. Loved it.

[@KerryEgeler]

I’ll consider this!

[@cecilieulrich7841]

I always use awkward styles with printify, colors are great just as you showed. Will be great if you can compare more t-shirts and products

[@blisslimitless]

how is the wash test on these babe??

[@homestudio6196]

Awk Style is slowly disappearing from Printify 😢

[@frankieinnyc657]

Based solely on the one shirt, and one design, Monster Digital had the lowest price for the Bella & Canvas 3001 ($9.82) and the Brightest Colors/Most Vibrant Print. Whilst the most expensive price for the Bella & Canvas 3001 ($12.55) , from Underground Threads, presented the Least Vibrant Colors. So in this case, and in this case alone, the higher price did not equate to higher quality.

[@rustneversleeps85]

Why isn't anyone talking about where to find the best quality t-shirts? Fabric, durability, etc.

[@KerryEgeler]

A few of my top choices are the Bella & Canvas 3001, Next Level 3600, Gildan 64000, District DT6000, American Apparel 2001

[@Live_SINCE_85]

"An array of color" not a array of color 🧐

[@TressaDominquez]

is it actually that easy? wow

[@caseygarrison4050]

You're using desaturated tones in your color designs. When you start using a wider spectrum of colors, such as t-shirts made using a blacklight style art (not actual black light, just the style) SwiftPod prints rather dull. These rustic, faded t-shirt looks everyone has been printing doesn't show the actual range of colors. Also, with SwiftPod, the ink sets on the shirt a bit thicker. There is definitely a texture difference between the shirt and the print. CustomCat so far has the best color range vibrancy, but their prints feel even more plasticky, and they rub off very easily, and 1/3 of the shirts I ordered have part of the image peeled off. I've yet to find a company that's better than Printful, unfortunately.

[@drinkinslim]

Kerry, did you manage to sort out why Awkward Styles' print was off center? My wife has been battling with their rectangle guide where, if you make your design look centered on the "guide shirt", it looks slightly RIGHT of center in the rectangle guide.

[@KerryEgeler]

I don’t think that has anything to do it. It’s probably with the operator, maybe putting the t-shirt in the printer off just a little bit.

[@ugandancutie007]

Looks like you used Bella canvas for most of your shirts. Do you prefer them than guildan.

[@LG-er6ng]

You really can't tell the quality until you wash it. I avoided making a POD website for years because I was worried about quality, and then the FIRST test tshirt I ordered, it got ruined in the wash after one wash, inside out, on cold. It was Underground Threads. I got my money back and immediately switched to another printer, but now I have to reorder.

[@elcisne09]

I got some samples from Monster Digital and the black ink on white t-shirt was fantastic, but the white ink on black, grey and cream colored t-shirts, not so good. You can see that the ink is looks textured and on the cream, it's almost blurry. The black ink on white t-shirt looks so smooth, vibrant and really good, but the others...not happy! Searching for better print quality now.

[@SherilleMarquez]

I had a bad review for my t-shirt printed by Swiftpod. The fonts were very transparent, faded, and looked really really bad. The print quality you showed from Swiftpod looks nothing like mine. Wondering why.

[@meetingxo]

same thing happened to me yesterday with Dimona Tee, they placed a different design in the back side of the shirt in order to place the one I put in the designing section on printify. I took the shirt out the bag and I checked its print quality and suddenly started to fall off when I rubbed my finger all over it.

[@LTEAndroid]

Same with me, ordered a sample and the quality was not great, and after 1 wash the design started to crack and is now useable. Do not recommend

[@annalexander4854]

My experience with awkward styles has been awful. I have lost money in refunds, not as far as quality but shipping times. It took a month for one customer to get her shirt and their customer service is absolutely no help. I had to find another. provider.

yes, remove the background and make it a png

[@paulinavlogs3693]

I just received a sample from them, and the time it took for it to arrive was already a little disappointing. There was a delay. I ordered the unisex lightweight long sleeve tee, and the quality of the shirt itself was great, but I was quite disappointed with the printing. It was almost like they put a sticker of the design on the shirt, instead of it being printed as part of the cloth. The colors are great and vibrant, but I think it would definitely start peeling after a few washes.

[@christina9841]

Hi, thank you for this video! Would you say that Monster Digital's designs are printed closer to the collar? I've been using Swift POD and I'm pretty happy with them, except I feel like the designs should be a bit closer to the collar. I place themthe up as close to the top as I can... but when I receive my samples, they just seem slightly low. Maybe it will look better after washing? Or maybe this is a good placement for someone a bit bustier than me lol.. but it is making me a little concerned about Swift POD placement... any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!!

[@KerryEgeler]

You can adjust your placement when creating your products in your print on demand company. The general rule of thumb is 4 fingers below the collar.

[@christina9841]

Thank you.. I put them up as high as I can.. noticed one of my samples from swift POD was closer to the top (which looked better) another was lower... maybe it is a little hit and miss. Also going to wash the one that seems too low in hot and dry on hot and see if it shrinks up and relay how much it shrinks to customers for a better look... one of the complicated /frustrating things about POD is you can't really always check quality control but videos like yours helps and getting a few samples.

Monster Digital stands out in color vibrancy. However, which shirt will stay good after a wash? That's the key question. I had a customer whose shirt started peeling after the first wash. That's a nightmare waiting to happen, and your store can get bad reviews because of it.

[@KerryEgeler]

It doesn’t have as much to do with the shirt as it does the print. Now, I would recommend using a good quality shirt such as a B&C 3001. But again, it’s more to do with the print quality. It is uncommon to see this and might be a one off situation.

[@juinga78]

[@KerryEgeler]

[@Cece-hf7lt]

I actually like Underground Threads - I don't like colors too bold in t-shirts (kind of vintage look, hence the name Underground Threads). I love that's there's no texture and you can't feel the image. When you feel the ink, it seems cheaper.

[@human47134]

The problem with this, regardless of your opinion, if it's not true to color of the design, that can be a MAJOR problem.
