Basically the issue is that I want to be able to send one-off orders automatically when people order them on my site. It doesn't have to be email, but I want to be able to have my computer send them an order, including the graphic, the positioning and size of the graphic, and the shirt details. It's like what their website does, but I want to be able to generate those orders, because I want to have more control over the front-end and how it works.
So if anyone knows of any tshirt companies that can take automated orders, it'd be much appreciated!
Thanks,

Well, I did a little research some time ago and I believe that it was Printmojo that I was interested in. With Printmojo I send the artwork and have a certain no. of shirts printed for a certain price. They warehouse them for me and ship them when I have orders. My website promotes the shirts and then the customer comes to my site and places the order. The order button is linked to my printmojo store and the customer puts all of the info into Printmojo's secure database and sends out the orders and cuts me a check for the difference.
You may be wanting cafepress. With cafepress you will more than likely have less profit per piece, but you have no up front costs to deal with. They take care of the whole process and you just upload artwork and promote your site. When you have sales, you get a check. Printmojo has decent pricing per piece and although you initially pay for the shirts you want printed, you get more from each sale than you would from cafepress.
If you have the money, I would have a professional print my shirts, another professional build my ecommerce website, and ship them out yourself.
