Just a heads up to all the DTG printers out there thinking about using Alstyle Apparel. Pretty much any Black shirt they sell that is made in mexico (Including 1701, 1501, & 5562) has been heavily over saturated with dye and will give you a horrible end result after curing. I brought this to their attention and had someone in their quality control department (Mohammad Bashir) admitted the shirts were over saturated with dye and then refuse to fix the problem. I then asked my sales rep (Billy Griffith) if he could guarantee any future orders shipped out wouldn't be their defective over dyed shirts and he replied back no that he couldn't guarantee that. Clearly this company doesn't care about the customers they screw over with these shirts so I just want to warn whoever I can to stay away from this company as they left us holding the bag on 3000+ shirts that cant be printed on.

I'd be interested to hear if any other printers have had any similar stories with Alstyle Apparel as I find it really had to believe my company is the only ones who have had this problem and have been treated like this.

Thanks for the heads up, I know this is a bad time but could I use the shirts you got for water based screen printi.g and just let them air dry? If so could you give me a supper deal on them si.ce you cant use them?

don't mind me asking but what about screen printing on them. I know a poly ink is not a dtg ink so would that work if you still print without a dtg system. just an idea?

Can you press them? A lot of work but better than loosing your money on them?

Failing that a press and pre treatment before printing?

Screen printing seems to be fine as we haven't had any problems with that. I believe there are blockers built into screen printing ink that keep the dye from coming out of the t-shirt. We still use their 5301s for screen printing and they turn out great.

Thats the plan, they are sitting in the warehouse waiting for a big screen printing job to come along. You live you learn ya know?

We did pre treat and press before printing, even used 3 different kinds of pre treat. I believe its the moisture coming out of the ink on the final cure that causes the dye to come out.
