Default Here is what I want to print!!!

This is the type of stuff I design and want to print on a Garmet printer.

I sent this to the brother dealer and he is printing a sample.

Obviously it is going on the GT so its a white shirt. I did the tears to make it look like it is tearing out of the shirt.

Looks like it would print fine on a DTG printer, although the image is a bit blurry when viewed at full size.

I like the overall design but for the car. Is this the typical race car wrap that you work on? I am wondering if race cars get wrapped at all. If you are doing digital print wraps I think a better explanation or key wording might open a few other doors. The logo is tight and I can see that on apparel.

It should print fine on just about any DTG printer if it is going on white.
As Rodney said, a bit blurry but then I'm sure you have the high res file for printing.

Great Stuff!

JB I am not following you on this post.

what do you mean "I like the overall design but for the car."

you mean you like the car I wraped and hate the design for the t I made?

also what do you mean with.."I am wondering if racecars get wraped at all?

unless I am a idiot I am not sure as to exactly what you are saying or asking me. are you bashing my race cars or what? please write back explaining this post. thanks

Default Re: Here is what I want to print!!!

I actually set this file to the Local brother distributor but his e-mail didn't like the file size. I had to shrink down my origional Photoshop file of 260MB to 568k to e-mail it that is why it is blury.

I hate to say it I got the image back along with another t-shirt sample he made and I was not really impressed by the brother prints. the best sample shirt I have gotten was from swfwest but it was a black shirt.

it was thick and bright and clear not the washed out look from brother and advantage. you can see right through the shirts. and customers say the shirt looks like it has been washed 20 times. Not making my desision any easier. now obviously I can't compare a one pass on white compared to a 2 layer black shirt but the HM1 from swfwest is getting my vote so far.

First off can you just freakin relax? I am asking is this the type race car you actually work on? You actually do wraps on these dirt cars!

I mean I like the overall design but I think the car graphic is weak. What can you not follow on this post...very simple questions!

Default Re: Here is what I want to print!!!

well sorry my car graphic is weak, I did wrap 72 Latemodels and Modified dirt cars this season making over $60,000 and I have 86 drivers who preordered wraps with me for next season so I must be doing something right or I would not get any work right or is it bad to keep getting return customers and they bring their frinds with them the next season?

Again you missed my response. I didnt know that those cars actually got vinyl wraps and that was basically my question. The graphic on the car isnt an issue. I was just wondering if that car in the design was a typical wrap job for you. I guess you answered that, just something I was interested and havent really seen. Full body wraps on those type cars. No harm no foul.

Sorry for the miscomunication. I'm sorry.

Yes, the Race Wrap is very popular in the dirt track racing scene as is with nascar. I would post some pictures but this is a t-shirt fourm and they might not like me posting pics of racecars on hear.

they actually hold up better to the abuse that regular plotted vinyl.

Default Re: Here is what I want to print!!!

That is a pretty simple print to do whether black or white shirts. Anyone who DTG prints on real thin basic white tees is doing themselves a disservice. The better/heavier oz. tee, the more your colors will "pop". AS well as your print will hold up better with less fade in you first wash.
