Well, I've been playing around with www.cafepress.com and zazzle.com where you can upload a picture, and turn it into a T-shirt. Remember those 'Got Armor?" Tees? I even did some of the Bermuda Triangle Expeditionary Force 1997-1955. Fun stuff. You can't sell copyrighted art but you can make your own.

I have been think about doing that myself with CafePress. Sound easy enough, just have to put the ole noodle to work and design a few things.

Before you "waste" to much time, I'd suggest you create 1 tee and order it. I doubt you will be happy with the quality. I know I wasn't. The tees are just iron on. Same thing you can get at Walmart and print on your own printer. I won't even wear it. |

Thanks for the heads up, I hate the cheap stuff, I want to wear it in 10 years from now. _________________ http://ByYourCommand.net |

The black t-shirts I agree are not that great. But I've had great luck with some of my T-shirts made of the nicer quality shirts, not those really cheap ones. Also, there are 2 ways you can print on the shirts, and one is direct printing, much better than the 'heat transfer'.
Jim
Zazzle.com also has this as an option. |

Hey GoldCylon,
There's something in your signature file that upsets my browser... I get a dialogue warning that byyourcommand.net is trying to intercept my communications with this site.
Could you take that out, please? _________________ Paul (a.k.a. Dr. Crash)

First, it's not the quality of the shirt itself, it is the quality of the heat transfer. I can't remember if the quality of the shirt. But, I would say it is equal to purchasing a $6 Hanes/FTL tee and a $15 pack of iron on transfers and a decent color printer. It doesn't matter how awesome the printer is, when you transfer an 8.5" x 11" sheet to a t-shirt.. it sucks.
Now, the mugs, and other products (from what I have seen in pictures, I haven't actually purchased) they look great.
As for the siggy, it's because he is using https:// and the cirtificate the site is using is owned by another .com, so it gives you a warning to let you know that you are pulling something over an encripted connection that isn't "owned" by the site you are pulling it from. GoldCylon, try changing the https:// to just http:// in your sig and it should go away. |
