well, the original AI files exist and this thing can go to printers...you better let me know where to put this for download...or is there are way to make some burger moniez with that. :2drinkspit:

Stick the download somewhere so I can show it to a printer to see if it's even possible to do. I don't think there's any burger monies to be had in this... numbers will be small and costs high, so people would just be paying whatever is needed to get the thing made and delivered.

It might be possible to do this as a dye sublimation, a heat transfer method. It would need to be printed in CMYK anyway I think to get all the shading in the logo, etc. It would be a difficult job to screenprint.
 


^ It would be a fucking nightmare to print that design. But it is fucking badass.

And yeah, that's a full color process job, best done on an automatic press (so every stroke has the same exact pressure, angle, deflection, etc..so each set of dots prints perfectly in tune with the others) and you'd be looking at a minimum of $200 in setup fees. That's just getting film outputs, burning screens and press registration. Some shops charge upwards of $400 to setup a full color job.

It could be done with dye sublimation/heat transfer but those prints don't wear or wash well. You're talking a lifespan of less than a year before it looks like shit.

Alternatively, it could be done by someone with a direct to garment dye sublimation machine (lower end units cost $100k) but IMO, the print quality, and especially on dark garments, of direct to garment printing is not really that good. The colors are all muted, non of the "pop" you get with a good plastisol print.

I've offered a couple times now to print some of the less convoluted designs, it's in the hands of the powers that be. And no, I don't have an automated press. 4station6headOldSchoolLawson4lyfe!!!
 
Could we get a list together of people who are willing to commit to a shirt so that somebody will actually go ahead and print them?
 
Guys, if someone sends me the AI file I will get this setup for us and I'll get it shipped to anyone who wants one. Can we all agree to donate any proceeds, if any to Haiti, or a worthwhile charity? If so, let's go send me some AI's ill take them to a local print shop and come back with specifics.

You will have to discuss it with Jon first... Copyright FTL.

But I'm with ya dude... I'm with ya!
 
I'm having a dabble at making some T-shirts designs but where can I get a high res image of that flame face logo thing?
 
i'm thinking about printing these two designs up:

and i could even print up beer koozies with the WF logo if people were interested.

basically it comes down to how many shirts i would need to print AND getting jon's approval.
 
do a shirt thats filled up with ALL the hilarious quotes found around here, in some kind of creative way <- not a designer. sounds like a pretty tedious thing to make but it would be awesome!
