What blank does bella canvas 3901 print on?
Direct-to-garment print on crewneck sweatshirt blanks — Bella+Canvas sponge fleece, Champion heavyweight, Gildan heavy blend. The standard pullover for corporate gifting and team merch.
What's the difference between DTG and screen-print?
Direct-to-garment (DTG) is full-color inkjet straight onto the fabric — best for photography, gradients, complex art, and low quantities. Screen-print uses a fabric stencil and is best for solid-color spot designs at higher quantities (50+ pieces per design). DTG has no setup; screen-print has a per-color setup cost that amortizes over the run.
What sizes do you carry?
Adult sizing runs S through 3XL on most blanks. Some premium blanks (Bella+Canvas premium tees) go to 4XL. Womens-cut and unisex-cut available as separate blanks.
How should I prep artwork?
Export at 300 dpi minimum at the final print size. Use sRGB or wide-gamut RGB (not CMYK — DTG runs in RGB). Save as PNG with transparency for DTG, or as vector SVG/EPS for screen-print. Avoid hairline strokes thinner than 1pt — they don't survive a single wash.
Are there minimums?
No minimums on DTG runs — single-piece samples are allowed and priced. Screen-print effectively has a minimum (typically 24–50 pieces per design) because of the per-color setup cost; DTG is cheaper below that threshold.
How long does production take?
DTG runs 5–7 business days from file approval. Screen-print runs 7–10 business days. Plus shipping selected at checkout. Embroidered components (left-chest logos on polos and hoodies) extend the cycle by 2–3 days.
How do the prints hold up to washing?
Wash inside-out in cold water with mild detergent; tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach. Both DTG and screen-print survive 50+ washes in good condition under those rules. Hot wash + hot tumble dry significantly shortens lifespan — fade and cracking become visible by wash 20–25.
