Triumphrat

Hotmailrules · 05-13-2005

I found a web site that lets you design your own screen printed shirts. I took a pic of my motorcycle, ran it on photoshop to make into a "stamp" then uploaded it to the site along with some logos and other text. Here is a pic of the sample they gave me. The front of the shirt has a small triumph logo. The back says "Triumph speed triple 1050"

I should have asked around here if some of you wanted some before I ordered them because the price goes down fast with larger orders. I can still order more for a lower price if there is some genuine interest here. Buying 12 or so will bring them to around $13 each I think.

What's the site's URL?

Url is http://customink.com/cink/r.jsp?R=

customink.com if the link doesnt work. From there you pick what you want screen printed, colors, upload pics and whatnot. The site is pretty cool. You can save many designs on thier site for later ordering. Keep in mind that a true photograph is hard to screen print. The more colors you use the more expensive the shirt. A true photograph has hundreds if not more colors. That is why I made my pic into a "stamp" so it only uses one color.

That is no way a photo you took of your bike.

Actually, with Photoshop this is a simple process. There are plugins specifically for this kind of thing. I could do it in under 5 minutes. Okay, maybe 10 to make it nice.

Yes here is the pic I took

In photo shop I use a filter under "sketch" then "stamp" to make this

You can see the line of the bottom of my garage door through the front tire that I was supposed to erase out.

I know how easy it is to do this in PS, I just thought you were trying to sell t-shirts with a stock publicity shot - I stand corrected. Sorry, it was late. Very nice job anyway.

I found another site, http://www.zazzle.com/ that seems to have a better printing process. It's a full color system. I took a stock, hi-res publicity shot of my particular bike (blue) as well as a stock Triumph logo and made this.

I made the design public as well as editable. You can see it at this link:
www.zazzle.com/contributors/products/product/product.asp?cid=238195172337081268&caching=on&prod uct%5Fid=235119870993316348&index=1

(This isn't a sales pitch, I could care less if you buy anything)

I have one on order, I'll let you all know what the quality is once it shows up.
