$25.00 an hour at this place, Al can tell us what they charge.. David there are about 4 posts most with poles, to get the majority vote. Boring stuff to read but if you want an idea what has been going on since this started read them.

Yea I am the knucklehead who started this thing up and would appreciate any help, so if you can help any either PM me or post it here. But untill somebody else wants to grab the ball and run with it. But so as to not the left hand doing something without the right hand knowing what is going on I would appreciate all info and ideas to be posted or PM'd to me. Because this is a no profit thing I will have a couple of people involved in the money aspect of it, but we will talk about that when the time comes, and it will happen.

Some info from one of the sites.

1. Any design that is printed on paper can be printed on a shirt.

2. We accept any printed, hand-drawn design, or digital design.

3. Maximum print size is 11x14 in.

4. Digital designs MUST be submitted in 300 PIXELS/INCH at the FULL SIZE of the PRINT.

5. The ideal filetypes are Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign files. We also accept files in .JPEG, PSD, .PFD, .BMP, .TIFF, .PNG

6. ALL TEXT MUST BE ACCOMPAIED BY TRUE TYPE FONTS or else FLATTENED.

7. All artwork must be submitted in SOLID COLORS. NO SHADING—any fades/shades must be halftoned—no smaller than 4 pix @300 res. Lines smaller than 1/16 in. may be washed out.

8. All submitted artwork may be modified to fit guidelines.

9. Any extensive graphics work may be charged $25/hr.

MORE DETAIL

We can accept artwork created by a variety of artwork programs and in several image file formats. To save you time and effort it is very important that you read below and speak with our art department before creating any artwork via computer for submission.

Hey, y'all know what a camel is? A horse created by committee!

Forget ordering, shipping, collecting $, etc. Find some art, post it to ShopTalkForumsStore at CafePress.com, then anyone who wants one can go buy it.
Has anyone asked Lidpainter from TSRants?

I have the stuff to do color separations etc...

When the art folks get a final together, I'll volunteer to get them prepress ready.

Will be a flash in the past from when I owned the marketing company.

Any volunteers to help?

The name idea could be cool for a frame... small letters so the art doesn't float.... bos or lines on the top and bottom.

It would be nice to have artwork that my bride would wear... if she wont' rid in an ORV... she may as well have the shirt.

If you can do color seperation it really cuts down on setup cost.The cheapest way to go is having camera ready artwork.Plus its quicker turnaround time.Do we have any Idea how many we want to order yet?Ballpark.And I can work a quote up from there.Are we just doing Tee's?Sizes dont matter they are all the same price.And are we only imprinting in one location.Just on the back or front and back.Or front pocket area?These are alot of things that need considered.As much of this info as I can get will help me with a more accurate quote.

Most of the shirts are XXL.

I'd be interested in long sleeves and some split button down fronts.

Talked to the teacher today who said I would be disapointed in the work done by the students, apparently between one quiting school and the others not interested enough what was submitted was not to good. THAT SUCKS!!

I asked if I could at least get what they have hopefully there expectatioins are really higher then mine. So I was given another person to go talk to.

I know this is a pain in the ass but I do not want to go with some lame artwork just because we are in a hurry.



If anybody wants to submit some artwork please do so.
