tech_guy Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I rather stupidly offered to help produce some t-shirts for an event to help the organiser who's getting a bit stressed by it all. The shirts and the transfers were dropped off last night, along with a CD containing the image to be printed. Open box: 100 x plain black t-shirts. Interesting... Pack of 100 x transfers. Hmm, no margin for error then...?! Locate CD - pop CD into PC and load up the image........can you guess what the problem is yet? .......it's a design with a black background with grayscale graphics, and with lots of white text; so if you produced a transfer from it and ironed it on to a black shirt you WON'T SEE THE WRITING! It took me half an hour to explain over the phone that PRINTERS DON'T PRINT WHITE! 100 white t-shirts are on their way now apparently. [gah....]
Dom_ Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I wound up doing this for my brother in laws stag do last year as the best man pulled out of organising/going 3 weeks before the big day! Only had 15 to do but it was a right pain!!! How big is your image? If you can fit more than one to a page it won't matter if its wonky as you can cut it out after it's printed :-)
tech_guy Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 The graphic is a4 size. Why do I think I'm not going to get any sleep tonight? At least I managed to print all the transfers last night. Seriously thinking of borrowing the D&T depts t-shirt press.....
Dom_ Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I borrowed our DT t-shirt press, it still took me about 2 hours to do 16 shirts... Good luck :-D 1
Domino Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Might just add to your woes now, but could be useful if anyone needs it again. We've recently started using these guys: Xamax Clothing Company Ltd - 100 White T-Shirts 1 Colour Print - Xamax Clothing Company Ltd For a run of 100 single colour a4 prints onto a white shirt they're £1 each 1
