Sounds like that's what they'll have to settle for.

Well if anyone wants a quality hack I will charge $15 for a professional quality shirt, with *any* art that you want on it. Feel free to go to Staples and buy yourself some transfers but I guarantee you, you will not get your money's worth... not to mention that those crappy transfers at Staples cost something like $10 a pack, and then you have to supply the t-shirt.

No sense whatsoever in not tapping this market if no one else will.

do you use some high quality iron on type jazz or actual added plasticy material? ie. can you do yellow on dark blue, white on brown for 15????

Well, the idea was that I'd use high quality heat press material, as silkscreen is simply too material and labor inefficient for a small run.

Now, if we could decide on some sort of common design and stretch the order out to 12 or more of the same design, I'd do silkscreen in a heartbeat. Well either that or direct print, if you guys insisted on some 16.7 million color monstrosity.

All color mixes are available as well, regardless of the method I use. Oh, FYI... that's your huge disadvantage in doing transfers off the shelf. None of them can be used on dark colored shirts... well none except the ones I use...

I know it is your living and all, but actually I disagree with you. No-one else seems to use the Dirty Forums to try and sell stuff, and if they do they usually get moderated. Yes, there is a market there. Yes, you are entitled to carry out your business, but this is sounding more and more like hard sell now. It leaves me feeling uncomfortable about you using Dirty to push your product (although that might be because of cultural differences, in that we don't go in for the hard sell so much in the UK, but whatever).

I think people have got the message now. If they want a professional quality T-shirt contact Future Proof. If they don't, make their own (as I did, using colour printer iron-on transfer paper, with the help of Lou on the artwork, a little pressie for all the rtsr Dirts that attended HMH in July. And they came out very nicely indeed, thanks).

Now now, no-one's forcing anyone to buy anything. If FutureProof comes up with a great design and can guarantee a quality shirt (Hanes, Fruit Of The Loom, Jerzees, Gildan etc), I don't see why he shouldnt offer to make them for people. I highly doubt he's gonna make much money out of this, certainly not enough to justify the effort, so thats not the intention. He obviously wants to give people what they want. Its upto him to come up with something that people want.

I'm sure that when Scott comes up with the goods with an official shirt that people will want one of those too so it won't be taking orders away. (Right, people? that had better be true

).

Besides, I know how easy it was to make my own so rather than get one shipped from over there in the USA, I'll make another here if i want one

Maybe you're right, and sorry if I sound a bit harsh.

As long as people understand that this is a private transaction between individual parties and not a forum-sponsored thing (unless and until it becomes one, in which case that is another matter altogether).

/end legal rant

stimpee · #18 03-02-2006, 05:04 AM

Yes, if you want to enter into a financial transaction on these forums then understand that Dirty has nothing to do with it and if FutureProof runs off with your money and doesnt deliver then there will be no liability from the Dirty forums.

</disclaimer>

Now, enough with the hard sell FutureProof

. I'm willing to sit back and see what comes up. If this also spurs on an official shirt then all the better.

Yannick: what do you mean exclusive one for japan?

Preliminary list of topics that don't get anywhere on the forums:
1. dirty shirts
2. Bootleg Babies part 2
3. Underworld as progressive music

I don't even know what a hard sell is.

But understand, I feed myself though. If I don't knock on people's doors and make first contact, who knows where I'll end up -- likely not in as good of a place. So if anyone feels bullied or pressured or whatever a hard sell means, I haven't usurped anyone's right to say no. But know that when you stamp your time card at the end of the day that if you don't own the deed, it's not your liability. Cut and drag, it's that simple. Or in other words I'm asking for some understanding into my position, if well wishes are too much to ask for.

Well, I have a moderator on my side and small interest and as such, I'm going to start an official thread.
