Thank you very much for the info, Temple! As I understand it, you're related to Spreadshirt in some way.
So, I have a question: Spreadshirt and LaFraise.com seem to work together, so the latter can print in more colors for their printed t-shirts. Am I right? So, technically, Spreadshirt CAN print in more colors, it is just that probably it is only profitable when large orders are placed. True or false?
My designs are kinda similar to the ones you can buy at LaFraise, so... I'm curious about it
Well, as I see it, I have two different ways to overcome my problem:
1) Work on my designs in order to reach the same quality with less colors, I could do that and it might give certain direction to the whole idea. Thing is, I'm used to work on detailed comic-style designs, so I often see me carried away in the process, detailing way too much.
2) Go for digital printing and/or find someone who lets me print in up to 8 colors, I've been browsing a little bit more and the printmojo guys offer it as long as you order 100 pieces per design. This takes money but allows me to offer colorful designs.
As a matter of fact, I could alternate them both.
See? I wrote too much. :P
