<VV> T-Shirts

[Bill Elliott]

So who cares if no white prints on the design???

I have asked for colored t-shirts using the same transfer and still vendors won't do it. My favorite Corvair t-shirt so far was the flourescent green ones Kevin 
did for Gateway(?)... but mine's almost white again from washing...

I hardly ever buy t-shirts any more because the LAST thing I need is another white t-shirt... even if the design is cool.

>> Good point, but many processes nowadays will not print the color white. 
>> It won't cover.  That is the reason for white shirts. For small runs, a 
>> computer-generated appliqué or decal is printed on transfer paper (don't 
>> know the correct name for it). It is applied in a heated press, like a big 
>> flat iron and for good color transfer, there must be polyester in the 
>> shirt. A pure cotton T shirt won't take the color as well.  Silk screening 
>> requires an initial screen outlay and then only through volume can the 
>> price be gotten down to a reasonable amount.
