As for the whole dpi issue - if I use the printer I have in mind, it wont be screen printed so I dont know what dpi the image needs to be as yet - will know this week though. are you looking at thermal printing i dunno - this is what it says at the sight - The technology we use are years ahead of traditional methods such as screen-printing and heat-transfers! Screen-printing and heat-transfers do not even come close to the standard and quality achieved by our method. We use industrial machines from Kornit to tattoo ink directly into the cotton fibres. The result is an imprinted shirt with unmatched vibrancy and no plastic "decal-like" feel typically imparted by other printing methods. In addition, our CMYK 7 color technology enables unlimited colors, so you can have 1 color or 16,000,000 colors in your design and our prices don't change. Compare this to traditional screen-printing where colors are usually limited to 5 or so colors. Our printing resolution is a fantastic 720DPI. For reference, normal screen-printing is 72DPI. |

Hey there Elvie, hows it going? ;D All you guys are to nice  it's nice to be back and mingling with the croud again. It's also great to hear that those t-shirts have stood the test of time, mine's still good and I was hoping everyone elses was holding up the same. akalilith you've done some awsome designs there, man you have talent!! I'll have to take a look at all that previous work people were talking about, it sounds good. I really don't think i'll be doing much in the way of designing, that last post by skrabsta is pretty damn solid. Nice bold colour choices and concept there akalilith. |

Kewl, that sounds like some awsome stuff there, I never really liked the whole plastic look of screen printed t-shirts in the first place. It sounds just like they dye the material itself in very finite detail. Worth looking further into. With everything that I've ever printed no matter what surface, 300dpi has always been the standard printing resolution, this stuff they use could be quite different though or they are just taking the micky out of regular printers, which is what it sounds like, but it is all very exciting indeed.  |

^^ F**k me wicked stuff this is gonna be sweet as they sound like the best that Ive seen - and a good price which was $24.95 for a black shirt ( well it says b;ac/coloured so Stormster could get a pink shirt if he wanted) with printing on front and back if we get 10 - 19 orders ( price drops by $2 if we get 20 - 49 ) |

Yeah i think 30 or so is about what I'd expect, given most regulars (say 20 ppl) will prob grab maybe 1.5 on average.

I'm absolutely loving the last one for the back....
Now... feel free to bash me here....just a suggestion. In keeping with the whole Egyptian thing where they hold the two sticky things in their hands.... would it be better to replace the football with a cricketbat?

In keeping with the whole Egyptian thing where they hold the two sticky things in their hands.... would it be better to replace the football with a cricketbat? i dont think it would fit. it would end up covering eddies face - I know what you mean though. |

Yeah it would aye.... unless they were more angled across the chest maybe turn the boomerang up the other way? sort of from shoulder to shoulder.
i dunno I'm hopeless at arty stuff. Even my stick figures come out looking like I was drunk in the attempt.
