Toronto, July 13, 2026 — Screen printers across Canada are reporting noticeably sharper, longer-lasting results after switching to Allmade premium blanks, according to decorators at Jons Spot and feedback from regional print shops.
A smoother fabric surface gives ink a clean, even base, producing brighter colors and finer detail, decorators said. Lower-quality blanks tend to fibrillate — fibers pop through the print and create a fuzzy, worn look after fewer washes. Premium blanks also hold ink without the thick, plastic-like feel that can cheapen a finished garment.
Why decorators are switching
- Smoother fabric surface: Produces sharper detail and more consistent ink coverage.
- Less fibrillation: Premium cotton and tri-blend blanks resist fiber breakthrough, keeping prints cleaner over time.
- Softer hand feel: Ink sits in the garment rather than sitting on top of it.
- Longer-lasting results: Prints on quality blanks retain color and definition wash after wash.
The bottom line for buyers
Printing the same design on a lower-quality blank versus a premium blank can mean the difference between a crisp, retail-ready finish and a print that ages prematurely, according to the Jons Spot production team.
Jons Spot stocks a wide range of premium blanks — including Allmade, BELLA + CANVAS, Next Level, and Carhartt — so designs start with the best possible canvas.
