| T-shirt printing.... ....can anyone give me a steer on where I can get some T-Shirts printed here in town? I have (in a .jpg format) a picture (3/4 colors) that I would like to be put on 6 black shirts of varying sizes. I would also want a team name (about 10 letters). Any ideas where I might be able to get this done for less than $20 a shirt? I've asked that place in the mall, they want $35 PER SHIRT !!!! I've also tried a few places online and they are expensive as well.

| Your problem is that .jpg and the fact that you're doing so few. If you use a jpg then they have to either redesign whatever you want or they have to do a 4 color iron on transfer instead of being able to silk screen it. Then the JPG may be too low of resolution. Your best bet might be to print it on white iron on paper from an ink jet and do them on your own.

| Isn't there a mexican shop in the mall that does this? Up near Pennys? I am thinking maybe even Walgreens does it....

| Wordy is probably right. Too few shirts to get a good price. Also, he is correct, in that you can print your own. Locker Room is the only one that I know of anymore. Didn't Zuzilski close up his shop? What about EmbroidMe?? If you get back towards Wichita or Pratt, I could give you some names. There is also a guy in Medicine Lodge that comes out here periodically. |

| T shirt printing Yes you can buy t-shirt printing paper at just about any shop or even wally world. I have done lots of transfers off of my computer and printer that turned out really nice. Family pictures on quilt blocks and all sorts of things. |

| You can get the T-Shirt transfer paper at Wal-Mart. Just get the white, like Wordy said. You need to use the white transfer paper to print on black or dark shirts. It will say dark transfer paper. It really works pretty good - and it is cheap. Wash the shirts first and do not use fabric softener on them. I don't think you flip the image when you use the dark transfer paper - you do a mirror image when you use the light transfer paper. |

| No you don't flip it on this kind of paper. You will get best results if you trim the paper as slosely as you can to the ink before you put the iron on it. The best advice I can give is to follow the directions carefully.
