Just uploaded a Printful Review PART 2 that shows what the shirts look like after a few washes along with some other stuff! Check it out if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/_mG0Q3T8Zn0/v-deo.html
One important thing that I forgot to mention in the video is that Printful gives you the option to directly connect & sync your online store via Shopify, WooCommerce, etc... This is a sweet feature because it allows your customers to directly order products through your website.
If you have any bleeding like there was on the first one, and you contact printful. They will check the machine it was printed on, and send another one once the correction is made.
An alternative to halftone you can test would be to make the gradient fade the way you envision it, and then use a stippling or similar effect to make it monotone (effects --> texture --> grain --> stippled). Experiment with the sliders. Then place a solid blue circle (in this case) that's larger than the stippled artwork beneath the stippled artwork and apply a transparency mask. If all goes well, your stippled gradient will inherit the blue color, and the transparent areas will remain transparent.
Re: Neon effect shirt.... Take a look at real neon signs, the lightest/brightest color is in the center of the neon tube and the further from the centerline of the tube, the color darkens/intensifies. Give this a try on your next sample of the neon effect shirt, you might be able to avoid the "gray" outline of the design, while getting a better neon effect.
emceewilliams hey thanks for the video - really liked the hat review. Did you have to designate that you wanted the "satin stitch" to get that glow effect with the teal thread? Not sure if thats an automatic feature or you have to instruct them to do so
At around 3:50, you showed a blemish in the print, it may have been not only the screen, but the the screen printer pushing down too hard. Hmmm, now that I looked at it again, since it might be a DTG, it could just be a blow out. Tip of sprayer could have clogged up or something. It was a sample. Even though it might have been free, this still underlines the faulty quality of their product.
I'm going to have my own online t-shirt business and I was trying to figure out where I was going to get my merchandise from so thanks this helped a lot!
I'm a bit confused about what you described as it pertains to embroidery on the hat. Can you explain that some more? I am looking at the site and it is confusing once I upload my design. It asks for flat embroidery, 3d, and partial. Then there are colors. So did you already have an outline on your design or did you have to choose that for the embroidery? Also, they mentioned a one time fee. Did they charge you or take it out of a sale? Thanks so much!
the FIRST thing i thought was "neat neon" don't change it.. I've been using photoshop awhile.. if you would like..try to make your other layers (the halftones) a little less on the opacity. you might get the effect you like if its not as bright..but they looked like hot neon lights. Use a neon sign font and you may improve your effect. I'm a designer. ^_^
What happens with customer returns with a marketplace like Etsy or Amazon? The buyer gets s refund and you get the shirt back ? Does Printful take returns or do you just get the product to resell from where you are?
If it's a defect due to printful then they can ship it back to them .. but if it's by change of mind or wrong size then it is all on you & your policy.
Where did you input the image from, photoshop a screenshot? Do you know what the DPI was for your car tshirt? Finally did you order them as samples or stand alone tshirts? Great video btw thanks 😀
Love your channel! I'm trying to start a clothing company and I have a question for you. I am trying to put a black logo on a white shirt and the same logo but in white on a black shirt and have them come up as one product on my store. How do I do this? I'm confused because I have to choose a graphic to use and it lets me choose the colours of shirt but I wouldn't be able to put a black logo on a black shirt. Do you have any videos on this?
Yo, im struggling how to get the 3d puff and the border on the hat designing stage. Can u message me and explain how you did the actual design for this hat? id like to make a few but cant seem to figure out how to get the textures that way and not just flat threading. Thank you sir! love the content!
Im not sure you said this in your video, if you did please forgive me for asking again. Im hoping to start my own tshirt business online and im very much new to all of this. Ive realised that majority of the print on demand sites charge you say like 50% when a shirt is sold, how much does printful charge you after selling an item?
Monique Wallace about the same, they are the best priced ones I found unless you use one that only works with Shopify, but I don't have a big enough following to use Shopify
FYI, I own my embroidery/print shop. Having health issues and considering changing things a little. Sell my equipment. LOL I really like the designs..Loved the hats! The puff look is sometimes hard to get people to do for you. I also like the idea of getting one design on the side of the hats. I am curious what the charge would be for the puff design on the hat... As for your logo look your after, have you tried getting them to print them with a fluorescent ink? You might be able to add just 1 fluorescent ink to get that look your after. Sometimes I've had issues getting people to do it the way I want it. ;-)
What's up man! It took about 4 days to get from their warehouse in Charlotte, NC to my office in Orlando, FL. Appreciate the love on the hat! We'll be droppin' it on L3 Apparel's site in the next week or so!
What program do you use for designing your shirts? I'm totally not a graphic designer, but want to learn more to do my own stuff. I use Shopify with Printful right now.
I am wondering why did you cover your store name? Don't you want us to buy from you? On the other hand you gave your website in the description. I am a little confused, why you would do that.
@@emceewilliams I am sorry man, I don't know what I saw the last time I watched your video that made me remember you blotting out your storename. What triggered me to write this comment is actually another video where the creator blots out his store name. For some reason, I remembered you were blotting out your store name too in this video, which you didn't, you only blotted out the address. I just didn't understand why anyone would blot out his storename. Is there like a youtube "cannot promote your merchandise" rule that you know of? I am asking because the other creator hasn't replied me yet.
@@emceewilliams Ok thanks for replying man. I just saw a few more videos of other yotubers, where they blot out their store names or don't put their store URL in the description, even though they are giving tips on how to do print on demand well. But none answered me. I am a little confused as to why they did this. I plan on making youtube videos too and promoting my print on demand T-shirts by wearing them and giving my URL. Was just afraid I will be doing it wrong if i do that but no answers so far from more experienced youtubers, who won't promote their stores through youtube. But of well, all the best for your endeavours bro.
How did you get the design on your hat to print so big? I am waiting for my samples to come in from Printful but when I looked at the mockup, it seemed real small and not as big as I wanted the design to be.
The max embroidery area for snapbacks and other "high profile hats" is 5.5" x 2" which is actually a pretty decent sized area. Double check to make sure that your artwork is sized to the limits correctly. Some times, you just gotta play with the design a bit to make the best of the max area. Let me know if you need help!
No, I do not include shipping costs in the product cost listed on my website. Printful handles all of the shipping stuff themselves. Check out this page for more info: www.printful.com/shipping
Compared to good screenprinting, that big front print is pretty bad. Run a discharge white base with plastisol reducer or water base for a nice soft hand/feel. Support your local Screenprinter.
In my opinion, DTG has come a LONGGGG way over the past few years. I agree it doesn't quite match the print quality of a good screen print, but it is absolutely getting closer and closer. Also, I'm a big fan of water based inks and screen printing in general. But...screen printing has BIG up front costs and is simply not a viable option for everyone.
The print area on the snapbacks that I use for my brand is 5.5" x 2". It'd be sweet if it was bigger, but that's still a pretty decent sized area to work with.

emceewilliams awesome videos bro! What program do you use to create your designs?
Thanks in advance
If you have any bleeding like there was on the first one, and you contact printful. They will check the machine it was printed on, and send another one once the correction is made.
Thanks for the heads up!
Printful are awful to deal with, I have had nothing but problems with them. I'm looking for a supplier that has some better Customer service any tips?
The glow shirt is really dope
Thanks, stoked to hear you dig it! Do You like the actual shirt in the video, or the picture of the shirt on my clothing brand's website?
I used them about a week ago and man I'm happy with them. Just watching this video for more in site.
An alternative to halftone you can test would be to make the gradient fade the way you envision it, and then use a stippling or similar effect to make it monotone (effects --> texture --> grain --> stippled). Experiment with the sliders. Then place a solid blue circle (in this case) that's larger than the stippled artwork beneath the stippled artwork and apply a transparency mask. If all goes well, your stippled gradient will inherit the blue color, and the transparent areas will remain transparent.
Appreciate the suggestions, I'll definitely have to try that!

I think it looks like neon! Leave it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Great shirts .. and awesome video,!
Try printaura next, used them a few times, but settled on printful.
I think Print Aura may be next. How do you like Printful?
me too. been at print aura but looking at printful.
finding printful is out of stock on a ton of items often is this normal?
Awesome videos and very helpful. How did you specify the 3d puff and the outline on the cap when you ordered from printful?
Nice bro! Which product is this hat? Yupoong 6007 Five-panel Flat Bill cap or the Yupoong 6089M Wool Blend snapback? Thanks!
Yupoong 6089M

Right on, glad it helped!
i really liked your neon sign shirt. you can see thats where you were taking the design to even the front side too

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to revisit that design soon and try to get a few more samples with an improved glow effect.
this is superkool! sick work my dude
Thanks man!
Have you tried customising apparel using vinyl cutters? Thats what i do. The profits are all mine!
The first tee I ever designed a few years ago was made using vinyl. Vinyl/heat press has it pros, but for me it was too limited.
lol yeah it is limited.
What happens with customer returns with a marketplace like Etsy or Amazon? The buyer gets s refund and you get the shirt back ? Does Printful take returns or do you just get the product to resell from where you are?

Your hat is sick!! I collect hats and need that! I have it in a fitted?
That cap though! Damn that's nice.
Thanks dude!
I love the cap
Thanks man!
Which comes in a box and in this plastic bag
Thanks for posting this, looking to do similar, good to know how tight that cap embroidery is
Nice hat. How did you get the blue strome areound the 3D puff?
Where did you input the image from, photoshop a screenshot? Do you know what the DPI was for your car tshirt? Finally did you order them as samples or stand alone tshirts? Great video btw thanks 😀
The artwork for the tees was either photoshop or illustrator files. The DPI was 300 and they were a sample order.
Will the hats embroider pics of artwork?...SBN RESONATE
Not hard to see on camera. Saw it immediately before you even pointed it out. Not a clean print.
Love your channel!

daamnn! nicee work bro! where did u design your hat & shirts?
Thanks dude! Design all of my stuff using Inkscape, Illustrator, and sometimes a bit of Photoshop.
Yo, im struggling how to get the 3d puff and the border on the hat designing stage. Can u message me and explain how you did the actual design for this hat? id like to make a few but cant seem to figure out how to get the textures that way and not just flat threading.

Hey do they put your company's name or your website name? Or whichever you tell them?
GUYS WHICH T -shirt IS from printfull? 1)bella _Canvas 3001 or 2) Glidan 64000 plz
hey man, how are sales? I'm about to start my own clothing shopify business and would love to hear more about your experience!
Dylan Phillips I started one: turtleworldproducts.com
how did you get your logo so big on the hat? mine looks super small in the mock up
That hat is dope
Does printful send u the hats? Or do they sell them for you? Is that an option?
Printful sends the hats to your customers from their warehouse.
I am wondering why did you cover your store name? Don't you want us to buy from you? On the other hand you gave your website in the description. I am a little confused, why you would do that.
What store name are you referring to? The only place that I currently sell items from my clothing brand is via my website, L3Apparel.com.

Love the snapback. How much are you selling it for.?
That's what's up, glad you dig it! The 1 Life 2 Live snapbacks are priced at $25. l3apparel.com/product/1-life-2-live-snapback/
Do you think they won't sell at higher prices?
Can you collect/download your customer's email addresses using Printful to start building a mailing list?
Not sure to be honest. I'd check with Printful.
How much does a sample shirt cost?
What about the pricing of theire product is it expensive? Than the other printing like rushordertees?
I think Printful is a bit more expensive than most other POD sites. With that said, they are still by far the best I've used.
i see the tshirt has a hangtag?
Is it Washable & Prototype ???
is there a way to have two places to order from like have printful and aura?
Not sure I completely understand the question man. Do you mean is it possible to sell products from both Printful and Print Aura through your website?
Do you include the shipping cost in for your printful items?
No, I do not include shipping costs in the product cost listed on my website. Printful handles all of the shipping stuff themselves. Check out this page for more info: www.printful.com/shipping
Thank you!!! 🙏
The website is super frustrating to navigate though. That lone makes me want to not mess with them.
Printful's website?
1 life, 2 live 🤔 that makes 12 he's a cop !!
Got em! 😂
Do you have to register your own business to run a ecommerce store?
eventually you will if you dont want to get caught from uncle sam lol
Depends on your state. Mine does not require a business license if you don't have a physical store. Still gotta do taxes and stuff though
7 dollars for back prints? It should be half that.
Compared to good screenprinting, that big front print is pretty bad. Run a discharge white base with plastisol reducer or water base for a nice soft hand/feel. Support your local Screenprinter.
In my opinion, DTG has come a LONGGGG way over the past few years. I agree it doesn't quite match the print quality of a good screen print, but it is absolutely getting closer and closer. Also, I'm a big fan of water based inks and screen printing in general. But...screen printing has BIG up front costs and is simply not a viable option for everyone.
what about the fabric quality?
Depends on the shirt you choose. Bella + Canvas and/or Next Level Apparel is always good quality in my experience.
What kind of camera you use for your videos
I use my iPhone for a lot of my videos.
Awesome video thank you so much peace and blessings to you
5x3in on the hat sucks..I tried to order a hat and the design was so small cause of the print area
The print area on the snapbacks that I use for my brand is 5.5" x 2". It'd be sweet if it was bigger, but that's still a pretty decent sized area to work with.
