Shaka Wear blanks, sold unprinted by the piece. Shaka is the heavyweight end of the blank market, around 7.5 ounces against a standard tee's 5.3, with a boxier cut and a thicker collar. Streetwear brands use it because the garment carries weight in the hand, which is what justifies a higher retail price.
It presses well with DTF, though the heavier fabric wants firm pressure and a proper second press. If you want us to print it for you, send the artwork. No minimum either way.
