The time for Dirty Shirts has arrived

[Leon]

I'm very interested, and $15 is a very good price!

I don't really understand the "if you guys wants your shirts silkscreened (being, the process of laying ink instead of a high-quality, non-transparent transfer)" line though, but that's because of the language barrier I guess. Does it mean the quality is just... good?

I think I can do international payments via my bank too, so that won't be a problem.
Sorry, but I can't help you with artwork.

silk screening actually dies the fabrics and thus can't be worn off. the high quality, non transparent transfer sounds like the plasticy ones that kinda go on shirts that eventually flake off after a while from washing, bar brawls, sex, etc...

Actually, you're thinking of sublimination. Silk screen is the art of using a plastisol-based ink, spreading it onto a shirt with the aid of a screen that has your image's composite burnt onto it, and then curing the ink at 840 degrees in an oven. It has a similar longetivity rate as sublimination, although both are subjected to damage when subjected to extremely high temperatures (325 degrees fahrenheit or higher). But yeah, those two processes are the most durable, embroidery coming in at a distant second.

I'd totally contribute artwork, I can do a lot of graphical design.

my uncle has a flag factory. guess i know less of the tech than i thought. he also (i'm pretty sure) pioneered digitally printing onto fabrics so he was able to make full color flags and cost efficient 1 or two off flags without making screens... would be hard to do with t's just cuase of the shape and pre-color, but seems to work well for his business...


anyhow. i'm in, can't do art though

One more taker and the shirts fall into the 24-37 piece price range, a cheap price range which means Scott gets more money per shirt! Come on you stingy ingrates!!
