Discuss the various t-shirt fulfillment services in this general fulfillment forum. Newer companies like RedBubble, etc can be discussed in this main forum.
Companies that have been around 2+ years (CafePress.com, Zazzle.com, Spreadshirt.com, PrintMojo.com, PrintFection, etc), may have their own separate subforums below (as demand permits).
Now I was keeping Spread**** as my number one choice because I loved their choices - design shirts especially the black red stripe one - my g/f would love that punk kind of look with my logo on it
Anyways - I figured the best way for my logo and only way with SS was to be Offset.
Now they just emailed me - as well as set up costs which I was willing to pay - apparently with Offset Printing, the design WILL fade after 3 months - So I was like WTF? I pay extra for setup then it's going to fade? The lady said to me - Well just sell as many before 3 months - I said this isn't about me making money lady, this is things to give to people as gifts. I'm not giving a gift to someone which will soon fade away.
Ok so I really want these printed.
On high quality - as Offset is supposed to be on SS.
What can I do now?
I wanted to try my logo out on - Black, a purple kind of color like in the picture above and any other interesting designs if I came across any like the striped tops on SS.
I want something that will print my logo off on high quality - I'm big on quality - even if it means dishing out more money, if the quality will be worth it, I'm happy
What kind of media are you printing this logo on? What is the size? How many prints? In an Offset printing press this art would be considered full color or CMYK. If you explain these questions I might be able to shed some light.
If you're going with a print on demand fulfillment service, this could be done by CafePress, Zazzle, Printfection or any print on demand service that uses a direct to garment printer which can handle those type fades better in an "on demand" environment.

The response from the customer service rep isn't too encouraging, but I'm not sure how they are doing the "offset" printing on t-shirts that makes it fade so soon. I haven't heard offset and t-shirts used together except for spreadshirt.
again your best bet is to find a local screen printer. Search around and purchase your own shirts. Drop ship to the printer andemail the art. All you should be charged is
Film/Seps, Screen set up and actual print fees.
