Why does cafepress hate blacks? (Where can I get an image printed on a black t?) - mattkime - 10-11-2006
I was curious if anyone knew of a competitor of cafepress that allowed printing on black t-shirts.

Yeah, I know a place that will do that. Keep in mind it usually costs more to print on black as it takes either a couple hits or white has to be put down first. PM me info on what you're looking for (or post here.)

A white shirt can be printed on very easily, with transfer material run through a standard color printer of some kind.
A black T-shirt requires a white layer first, or else is screen printed.

M A V I C and elmo have it right. Most screen printers charge more for printing on dark colored shirts. I can recommend a promotional products person in your area if you can't find someone on your own. PM me.

and of course, I'm sure the legal department at CafePress would have something to say about your subject line...

Wait a minute, I thought Cafe Press had added black shirts?
Yep, here you go:

Can't speak to the quality on the black shirts, never ordered one. And then there's these guys:

Ditto, re quality.

Can you find where you can make your own? I can't. Its not listed.

Actually we have a store and have a black t-shirt listed:
http://www.cafepress.com/aviary.40483895
but since the wife does it all I am not sure where to go to make your own.
Also it appears they have added cardinal red (though it was news to us).
The home for our store is http://www.cafepress.com/aviary and we do all the photos ourselves, the wife does all the photoshop prep work for everything.
I will say that I know the setup was a real pain for the black shirts compared to the white.

When I had some black T's printed with some of my normal fabric designs, I noticed that the extra white layer did add a thicker feel to the artwork.
So when you're wearing it, you will notice a sweatier comfort level under where the artwork is compared to the same artwork printed on a white T shirt.
