After my previous post and my experience over the last few weeks, I've decided to stop using Gelato.

I'm not happy with the print quality, and unfortunately I also haven't been able to get a helpful response from their customer support.

This is my first time building a POD business for a new online store, so I'm looking for recommendations from people with real experience.

What I'm looking for:

• Shopify integration
• Etsy integration
• Fast and reliable shipping, mainly within the US, but with international shipping as well
• Good and consistent print quality

It would be a big plus if they offer one or more of these shirts:

• united athle 5001
• Comfort Colors 1717

I'd really appreciate hearing which POD providers you've had good experiences with and why.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I recently tried printing a few designs with Gelato on different t-shirts (Gildan 5000 and Comfort Colors), and honestly I'm not very happy with the results.

On the Comfort Colors shirts, the print looks like it didn't fully stick to the fabric. You can see small white spots, and it feels like the design isn't completely printed.

On the Gildan 5000 shirts, the print quality is a bit better, but the colors are very different from my original design. The printed colors look dull compared to what I uploaded.

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Could it be because of the design files I'm uploading? Maybe the file type or color profile? Or is this just the print quality I should expect with these shirts and DTG printing?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people with more experience. Thanks!
