T-Shirts Available
I don't really consider this a "for sale" post due to I have no connection or profit involved. If it gets moved and less exposure- oh well. Several folks expressed interest in the picture and I thought this would be neat. Found the shirt company thru Google. Pretty handy site. You can order what you want, even add text of your own if desired. Click around the site for possibilities. Order what you like. No affiliation....just some neat looking shirts to offer. I selected one color front and back which is light grey. I do not beleive the illustration showing the blue is accurate. It will be monotone grey if I'm thinking right. I'm still clicking around the site to see if real color is possible.

I'm still doing some research...
for additional sources. I really didn't want to get involved with a group buy but I think it's going to be the only way to get these at a decent price. The link allows you to order a minimum of 6 and the price is rediculous imo. I would consider maybe 50% down on orders and the balance w/shipping on receipt to achieve a quantity buy. That way maybe I won't get stuck with a quantity of shirts. The price would decrease with quantity, so the more the merrier. I also want to talk to the silkscreening folks to see what they will look like in a 2,3,or how many color to achieve the correct shadowing in the pictures. I will report back here as I progress. Might be another route than silkscreening. Again, I'm not trying to sell these for ANY profit, I just thought they would be some neat shirts.

if this is heat pressed then the 50/50 is what you
want. I have a T-shirt press and the 100% cotton does not hold it for long. on a 50/50 it is more colorful and last longer then the 100% cotton. Other technics, sub-dye, can produce same colors and long lasting prints on cotton but the heat press isn't.
The heat press is basicly a specialized very hot iron that has a rubber padding on one side and a very hot plate on the other. I bought it several years ago and used it with great success.
it was retired but still works fine.

50/50 looks weird before you wash it. then it
becomes a little better. I agree that feel is not as good as 100 cotton but if you have a 5% return on the 50/50 and 40% on a 100% cotton then you think with your packet then hearth. I know that 100% cotton will fade and customer will return the merchandise while the 50/50 does not :-)
I never said I wear my items :-)

silk-screening - yes better and also the sub-dye
i don't know much about these processes but the lady who helped me get into this a few years ago does. i ask her about it tomorrow. She works for a company who sells the machines :-)
They don't make them just sells them as business opportunities. She is a good friend so she helped me get a press and it worked out fine for me. It was a cheap investment and served the purpose well. The heat press transfer does not last a long time, more ov a novelty item then actual everyday wear item. The silk screen is what you usually buy in a stores however lasts a long time but expensive if the quantity is small. they have to make the dye<a href="http://mydrive.roadfly.com/photos/pic.php?u=56726KDZYN&i=8969"><img src="http://mydrive.roadfly.com/photos/pic.php?u=56726KDZYN&i=8969" border="0"></a>
