I’ve been looking for blanks for my brand, I’ve been researching both budget options and premium options. These blanks are the only ones left on my list to check out but I couldn’t really find any reviews of them online, so hopefully some of you guys know of them and can tell me your honest thoughts.

c1717>
Yeah, I pretty sure I’m going to go with that one but I wanted to know the opinions in those blanks since I haven’t seen anything anywhere (maybe surprisingly one of those are great, idk). Also thinking about Next Level 3600 because of some color options the cc1717 doesn’t have.
Cc are def my favorite to print on..not very forgiving if you have to zim it though. I hate 6400 and anything stretchy like that.
What else can you tell me about the 6400? For one of my designs, I’m actually looking for a slightly stretchy cotton jersey material so it might be perfect for me. (Think Zara tshirt vibes).
Also, what does zim it through mean? I’m not American so not familiar with that slang.
6400 are aggravating to load bc they stretch so easily. They're also susceptible to scorching under the spot dryer but I just tweak my settings and print on. Zim Int'l spray gun is used for cleaning messy ink on garments..spatters pinholes etc. Depending on the garment (c1717) it will remove dye where you spray.
Bella and Stella are a different level than most of the rest. Also Stella is not available in North America
What is your personal opinion on B+C cause I’ve seen so many mixed reviews. A lot of people love them and then a lot of people say they’re trash, but this debate I mostly see it with the 3001 and other popular blanks. The 6400 seems thicker and stretchier as oppose to the 3001 which seems to very light for my taste and brand.
And I guess most importantly, what can you tell me about Stella? Since even tho I haven’t found anything on the BC 6400, they’re still a lot of talk about BC overall but not a lot of Stella.
I’ve only seem people saying they love Stella or print exclusively with Stella but no details as to why they love Stella. Are they on the softer side? More rough (i know some people like it like that) Stretchy or sturdy? What’s the thing that is unique to them?
If you have access to Stella’s, I wouldn’t even touch the rest. Superior product from what I understand. I personally have not used them as I’m located in Canada but I have a friends shop in the UK that swears by them. Certainly we’ll above CC or any other Gildan. Bella’s imo are a nice shirt but most of the complaints are manufacturing issues. Again, Stella for the win.
