Research notes & open questions

Midweight, not a true heavyweight, and buyers repeatedly call it good-value rather than premium.[53]

Dye-migration handling and max print size depend heavily on the chosen provider.[1][3][6]

Printify per-provider base costs are not in the catalog API, so provider cost comparison is incomplete.

No measured shrinkage, pilling, colorfastness or wash-durability data.

OEKO-TEX certificate 168252 was cited by providers but not verified in the official label check.

No public 3D model, pattern, grade rules or print-file template; Beforewear geometry must come from internal assets.

Full ~48-color manufacturer palette not enumerated as rows (no measured color); provider color subsets not mapped.
