Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DTG and screen print on USFans tees?
Screen prints tend to last longer and feel more integrated into the fabric. DTG can look slightly raised or fade faster with washing. Check the spreadsheet for print-method notes.
How do I know if a blank t-shirt is high quality?
Look for 100% cotton blanks over 200gsm, reinforced collar ribs, and double-stitched hems. The spreadsheet usually lists fabric specs.
