Comfort Colors C4017 - Unisex Midweight RS T-Shirt - Orchid

The Comfort Colors C4017 is a 4.8 oz garment-dyed blank built on 100% ring-spun USA cotton spun to 30 singles, giving it a finer, softer face than the heavier C1717. Where the C1717 at 6.1 oz is the go-to for boutique retail programs that want a substantial weight, the C4017 lands in a midweight range that suits shops printing garment-dyed blanks for programs that do not require the heaviest possible cotton body. The pigment garment-dye delivers the same soft-washed vintage look, and the 30-singles finer yarn means the face is smoother and holds finer halftone work better than a heavier open-end blank would at this price point. It is pre-shrunk, taped shoulder-to-shoulder, and built with a 1 inch ribbed collar and double-needle topstitched neckline and armholes.

Garment dyeing is what defines this blank for decoration purposes, and it carries the same practical consequences as the rest of the Comfort Colors line. Shade variation between dye lots is a property of the pigment process, not a defect: two production runs of the same colour will land slightly different, and the pigment continues to settle over the garment's life. The operational consequence for a decorator is a sourcing rule: order the full quantity of a colourway in one run. Do not promise a customer an exact colour rematch on a reorder months later the way you could on a piece-dyed Gildan or Bella blank. For screen printing, the soft-washed cotton surface takes water-based and discharge inks with a soft hand that suits the garment-dyed aesthetic; cure fully to control crocking on the pigment-dyed surface. For DTF, the 100% cotton face bonds well with transfer adhesives at standard heat-press settings. For DTG, the ring-spun cotton pre-treats cleanly; test pre-treat coverage on darker pigment colours, since the washed surface absorbs pre-treatment differently from a standard tee. The 30-singles yarn gives a finer face that holds halftone and mid-detail artwork more consistently than a heavier open-end cotton body at the same decorated price point. For embroidery, use a cut-away stabiliser on the lighter 4.8 oz body to prevent distortion around the hoop.
