O yeah, now I'm cool sporting this silk screen gem thanks to cafepress. I never had any idea how great this site is. I got quoted at over $200 in setup fees because I had dumbed it down to 9 colors from a silk screen printing place but cafepress let me print it in all 19 colors for $20 shipped.

OK, I might be 19, so that was deserved based on the childish nature of the sheets, but I am a CARS fanatic... the upper bunch has every single CARS car released so far from Mattel.

That was from a silk screener, I edited it so it made more sense. They wanted $200 to get the 9 screens made for a dumbed down version of it with less colors. I only paid $20.

Ford can't touch you. They may try, but they can't. As an artist, I've run into this before. 1st amendment, dude.

you sure thats silk screened....not to be an asshat...but it looks inkjet...and $20.00 would be about right for that process......but a sweeet looking shirt none the less

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Everything I have purchased from Cafepress lasted through 3-4 washes and then turned to crap :chair:

technically thats not fair... wearing it for 2 months between washes tends to add to the wear. :goof :nutkick


Cool shirt :thumbsup

I bought a shirt there years ago, i've washed it probably 20+ times already and it's fine?
eh, maybe they've cheaped out since.

not so much that they cheaped out...but if it is indeed a injet...the inks really don't hold that well...what you might want to do...trust me on this....i do sell silk screen for a small living :rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf

what you can do to extend the life of the shirt if indeed is injet...take a towel and set an iron to cotton setting...thats the hottest....with the photo showing up useing an ironing board......put the towel over it...and take the iron and heat the photo area...what you are doing is 2 things...you are curing the ink more then what it was, and you are imbedding the ink deeper in to the cotton shirt....
now when you wash the shirt to also extend the life of the photo....turn it inside out when you wash it and DON'T USE ANY BLEACH.........

thats all the help i can give ya with out seeing the shirt in person...but from what i see in the photo if you do what i have said..the shirt will last longer.....:thumbsup
