+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Does anyone know where we could have t-shirts made with out team name with or without a picture? I would only need 5 of them (2 adults, 3 kids) Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 The cheapest and coolest place to make your own shirts in any quantity is www.cafepress.com. And you don't have to stop at t-shirts. You can get mugs, mousepads, etc. All kinds of fun stuff. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Try a local print shop. There's an art store here in Jax that also has a printing area, and they do all sorts of things - cards, letterhead, posters, and even t-shirts (the one time that I used them, I only had one shirt done, and it was no problem for them.) ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick.

+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Cafepress seems kind of expensive, but I do like the idea of making them available to sell. I also found Instant Imprints. Screen-printed shirts would be about $11 each for a one-color logo on the front with a digital photo on the back. A one color logo on the front with a 5 color logo on the back would be about $9 each. I'll keep looking around. Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment

Were you looking at the base price, which is what you *have* to pay. Anything you charge over the base price is what you keep. $13.99 doesn't seem that out of line for a t-shirt with one-off custom art on it. Actually, I think that sounds pretty reasonable. The price goes down if you can get more volume in a month period. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
+MountainMudbug Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 A few years ago I designed an image on my home computer and wanted it on a shirt. I called a local (Louisiana) printing/binding/trophy shop that also printed Tshirts. They told me what type of file to save my image as to be compatible with their computer (ex: .gif, .jpg, .bmp, .tiff, and so on), and I saved it to disk. They used my disk to print out a reverse image of my design on image transfer paper, then they ironed it onto a Tshirt I'd brought with me. That was a few years ago, so things are probably more advanced now. But that worked fine for me, image quality was great. I can't remember how much it cost but it was very reasonable. My two cents Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I get mine here , but I don't think it will do anyone else any good. Lot's of people wear my avatar, but I bet 99.9% never heard of me or my geocaching handle. I got my winter hat from here. Hey he has the same winter hat.

+RichardMoore Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Although I have never tried it, most places that sell computer printer paper sell iron-on paper that fits in your printer. There are also several kinds of software for designing and printing a t-shirt or whatever. Once again, I've never used them, but I would be interested to hear the opinion of anyone who has. Now if I can just find someone to do the ironing. RichardMoore www.geocities.com/richardsrunaway Quote Link to comment

I tried some and they're so-so. You lose a little each time you wash it for the first few times but then it doesn't seem to change much. Still alotta fun to make up something that you want only one of & the expense is minimal. Quote Link to comment
