Print Samples With -30%OFF & Free Delivery

This post might be useful for those of you who want to print their own art/favourite photos on apparel and accessories. Here I am sharing my personal experience of ordering prints at sveral Print On Demand (POD) services.

Read my previous blog post about my printing experience with Fine Art America (FAA) and why I do not order at FAA anymore.

After disappointment with FAA I have desided to try one of the Russian POD services.

Lots of them are printing merch with vector graphics, but when it comes to printing artist’s paintings and drawings on apparel, where color shades and tone matters- the result often leaves much to be desired…

This is the T-Shirt with my collage print on it orderd at Russian POD via their website: https://moefoto.ru

The price of A4 size print on a cotton T-shirt was ~ 19.5$! (1,400Rbls) which is rather high I presume, taking into consideration that I planned to add some margin on it and offer this merch to my customers.

Then I have read few reviews on different POD companies and found that “Printful” offers a rather good quality of print and 30%off on your 1st samples order (valid 24 hours from account registration) +free delivery on it.

Isn’t it enticing enough?

My 1st sample order at Printful was: 2 T-shirts of my size and 1 black hoodie.

• This T-Shirt featuring one of my original paper collages - is now available at my website shop.

Sample order at Printful means: 1 to 3 products per month with 20%off and free delivery. Plus you can download numerous mockups for ordered samples - which is great.

• This design I created at “Online Printful Design Maker” for my 1st T-Short. Just downloaded the photo of collage and added some text below it.

This is the 2nd T-shirt of the Printful sample order.

It is minimalistic and features one of my original ink drawing.

Plan to use this design on long-sleeve apparel as well.

This Black&White unisex T-shirt is also available at my website shop.

And this is the final comparison of the prints quality: Printful vs. Russian POD service I mentioned above.

Both prints are looking good at the T-shirts! Each done of the same print file (original image *psd). The photos of the prints were taken at the same lighting and at the same time with no editing.

(!) The Upper one, more brightful and colorful -is from Printful.

The lower one - is from local Print On Demand service. Acceptable, but a bit less saturated...

Conclusion from all the above:

• I would order again at Printful, especially with sample orders discount.

• Apparel arrives from Printful fullfilment center at good condition and well packaged (which was a real problem with Fine Art America).

In case you would like to try Printful - there is a permanent “5% OFF coupone” on your Printful orders from me.

If you sign up using the link www.printful.com/give-5-get-5/GJG7A6

-we both get $5 to spend on premium products, like a custom printed t-shirt, embroidered hat, or an enamel mug.

Enjoy!
