i really don't know. i don't know if they create it when ordered or make a bunch and hold them until peeps order them. i'm going to order one in a few days!

this is my first time trying it. i submitted the design then chose what t-shirt to get them printed on. i chose the american apparel one because i like the way it fits. i also chose a less expensive one, but those don't come in black. and of course i chose a couple for the ladies. i happen to love spaghetti tank tops on ladies so i chose that one!

 

the shirts are a base price and you add mark up for your profit (i added $5 to $8 since i'm just starting)!

 

you can have them printed on other stuff as well. stickers, hats, bottles, all kinds of shit!

CafePress is "on demand" printing - they use laser presses rather than silk screen or offset printing to create the items cheaply. One unfortunate side effect is shirts there tend not to last long (the printing on them) through repeated washings. I've gotten some posters from there and the quality is decent - it's a good way to do one-off items cheaply without having to spend a lot of up-front money or buy multiple quantities.

 

They even do CD and book publishing as well, although the rules for those are somewhat different.

how did the california shirt hold up... and your wife's tank top, did it fade or wash away completely?

actually i got 2 california tees. one was horrible material and kinda earthy coloured. i never wear that. the other is white and on american apparel and is awesome. i've washed it 50times and its fine still no fading no peeling

 

the wifes tank was ribbed i think and the text started peeling pretty badly.

 

seems like potluck on cafepress. but with american apparel you should be fine
