[@observerfx212]

Nicely done!!

[@Melaninjas]

Downloaded....thx Bella

[@JWPhotosanddesigns]

Nice video.

[@preciousomolara4443]

Please can you tell me the kind of machine you used to put the dragonfly on the shirts

[@GT-ip2pb]

I wonder if they have something like this in Vegas??

[@Fullrusher]

Business wise you shpuld never give a real customer those many options, they can get over loaded and not know what they want, this leads to much reiterations and some times leaves variable for customers to complain or back out. My rule of thumb is 3 variations on an idea ( i could do more but i only show the client 3)

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thats a good point, depending on how involved the person you are working with wants to be. But agreed sometimes too many options can be overwhelming.

[@joxi23]

I agree 100%

[@msanimator]

What size is your digital design?

[@Dolcedollie]

who is the graphic designer and where can i locate him for work done?

[@nocodekevin]

I'd love to know how art work done this way compares to artwork made totally vector. Is there an abvious difference in the line quality?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hello! We reached out to Ed at Printful to help answer your question. He said there's a two-fold response.
1.In terms of quality (print) - doing line work by hand will have all of the shakiness that a hand normally has and certainly will have that same look translate to the print- this can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what the designer wants. There are always steps that can and should be taken when preparing a traditional piece for print (bumping up the contrast, removal of the background, etc).
2. If the question is in other words, "will a vector graphic be higher quality?" the answer is, not necessarily.
When working a design in traditional mediums, the designer just needs to make sure the artwork is scanned at a high resolution, and that the artwork is created at the actual size in which they intend on printing - just as I would suggest they do digitally. Working something at a much smaller scale than what you intend on printing it at will basically increase the visibility on the imperfections in doing something by hand.
Hope that helps!

[@dancyano]

Nice Vibe at the end there :)

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

thanks!

[@danielfulop]

haa that's a mean looking dragonfly lol :D

[@vlcustoms]

What DTG printer are you using and what would be the best DTG to buy?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

That's a kornit which is great if you do large volume. Your needs dictate the type of printer you should get, but BELLA+CANVAS tees are compatible with all DTG printers!

[@DipitTikadarViralMachine]

Awesome man..

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thanks for watching! ❤

[@DipitTikadarViralMachine]

Your wlcm.

[@DamienThaaKidd]

Where can i get that black dragonfly shirt?!

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

maybe @printful can send you one?? :)

[@xpnetwork4655]

lol shameless plug

[@olajokesjourney]

Can these designs be made on 80z canvas fabrics and denim fabrics?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Printful has a 13oz tote that works with DTG so probably possible~

[@RobynDonLimitless]

I would like to talk to someone from both Bella canvas and printful.. I got everything ready

[@thisismethewife5317]

I want to know how we can incorporate the software into our website so customers can also pick a shirt and show the design on it.

[@PrintfulCustomPrinting]

Hi there! If you are wanting to integrate with Printful so that you can have your customer's orders automatically fulfilled and shipped; you can either connect to Printful with a custom API or by using one of the ecommerce platforms that integrate directly with Printful! You can check those out here - www.printful.com/landing/overview-print-products-fulfillment

[@thisismethewife5317]

Thank you but we print on shirts as well

[@pdxfreak7096]

So what are the price ranges for design through printful?

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Ed says it really depends on what you want and how intricate but they start around $85 for something simple. You can get a quote on their website though that will be much more accurate :)

[@PrintfulCustomPrinting]

Hi Hank! You can reach out to Ed and the Design Services team for a quote through this link here - www.printful.com/design-services

[@xpnetwork4655]

THE TITLE IS ILLUSIVE! This whole video just tells you how to purchase another service from printful. You Can Do ALL THAT ON YOUR OWN!! or from an entirely different team of designers. Love printful, but was looking more for the Image Optimization to craft something that looks exactly how you designed it.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Thanks for the feedback! Since we don't offer design services, we direct our customers to resources, such as Printful, to help them out if they can't do it on their own. We recommend you check out our good friend Charley Pangus' page to learn more specific design skills. Check out his channel here: th-cam.com/users/charmediagroup

[@lovehopesdream]

I actually appreciate this video because I do not have the skills set to do this on my own. It's nice to know that I can still bring my creation alive with help from some one else. Awesome video!

[@sheilaanderson7163]

I wish you had shown the final printed shirts out flat so we could see them properly. Disappointing to not really see the final shirts completely. Otherwise a great explanation of how a shirt is made.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi Sheila, thanks for your feedback! Since the video was more about the process, we spent our time focusing on that, but we appreciate all feedback like this and will keep it in mind for the future. You can see more details on the tees on our blog: bit.ly/2gDk4ab

[@Illinoiseygovt]

BELLA CANVAS what kind of graphic pad and flat scanner was that? Really Sweet!! 👍

[@HrvojeLivnjak]

this video has to be shown to people who are selling on POD sites.. and expecting 15 bucks tshirt designs.. :)

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Right! It takes a lot of work!

[@whateverlulz9215]

BELLA CANVAS but for design alone, $15 is too much

[@Garrzilla]

Graphic artist*

[@luxurycardstore]

It would have been nice if you had shown someone wearing the tshirts, since that's the whole purpose of designing it.

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

yes, we should have!
