Need I say more.

Now I don't have any art formatted for black yet (they like transparancy) but now's your chance. I can only print on one side, but even so, now's the chance for everyone to finally get the Freespace and HLP shirts they always wanted.

I'd wear it.

How high-res do you need it to be to make a decent shirt out of it?

Edit: put a few variants up at www.hard-light.net/staff/setekh/shirt. Go check it out.

I've heard from more than a few people that their printing quality sucks so I've never bought one from them.

Can anyone confim that? I'd love to own a t-shirts like that but not if it's a tricky thing.

As an aside... I don't suppose anyone knows a place that prints onto patches or black shirts? (the idea behind the patches being that they could be sewn onto an existing black shirt). I think that'd look rather smart personally...

Can't vouch for the quality myself but they have a far bigger range than cafepress: Link

UK based too so P&P should be cheap.

Cafepress printing is fine in my experience. Never had anything very detailed on mine though.

There are t-shirt printing shops all over the place, and I imagine you could ask them to print onto a piece of fabric rather than a shirt if you asked 'em...

The reason most people seemed to be unhappy was that CP used transfer printing instead of screen printing which looks better and is longer lasting.

The black they printed on the cap is more grayish, but the rest is ok. I've got it lying next to me as I type this.

Galemp · **Reply #10 on:** November 22, 2005, 02:52:39 pm

Woo, thanks Eddie. I'll put that up right away.
EDIT: Any chance you could make it with transparency? We don't want an ugly square border around the edges.

Yep. It's the third one down:

If I was gonna get any of them, I'd get the no text version.

Galemp · **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2005, 06:20:22 pm

Here we go. For legibility I'd recommend getting rid of the white vertical stripe, though.

I can produce 3 varieties, so if Steak wants to grill up a few more transparent varieties I can do them too. How about a greenish one with the SCP splash logo on it? Or a green-and-gold GTVA one? I know a few people will probably want an SOC shirt too...

Anyway, it's still in the Design phase right now, they're not for sale yet. I'll let you know as soon as they are.

This goes for me too, the text versions all look a bit cluttered to me.

an0n · **Reply #15 on:** November 22, 2005, 08:37:13 pm

Hmmm.

I did look into cheap screen-printing back when WS-GW was setting up myscrotum.com. It's pretty cheap if you're getting a decent run printed.

Based on my card logo:

And for the traditionalists:

Galemp · **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2005, 09:22:49 pm

It's a bit limited, Anon... and by limited I mean 10"x10" on the chest. We won't be seeing hockey jerseys like that from Cafepress.

an0n · **Reply #18 on:** November 22, 2005, 09:38:53 pm

Not from CafePress, no.....
