The SS shirts look great, there's no comparison. That's what the TV spot said, too, and it's nice to be able to see the differences up close. Thanks for the photos!

Are you guys saying that PF is better than SS?

SS
ZZ
CP

If that is the order in quality starting from the top and going down, where does PF fit in? Thanks.

Yes! PF vs. SS will be interesting to watch because I've heard a lot of good things regarding both their quality, but have yet to know which is better (obviously, PF / SS pound CP and ZZ real hard).

However, though, it's not really a fair comparison because SS does flex-flock printing and although it's super-durable and no-fading, the designs are limited to 3 colors and can't be too complicated.
Whereas at PF, the designs can be very complicated and because it's direct printing, there should be a bit of fading after the first wash, but not that noticeable, if at all.

To be fair, maybe we should use SS's direct printing vs. PF's direct printing.

That's not the case any longer Zeon. Just the other day SS announced the release of DTG on color.

I would imagine all the fulfillment players will add DTG to their arsenal ... it's gonna get harder to compete without it.

Thanks Adam! But err....do you have any SS link which says that? Can't seem to find any info of this news on SS's forums.

I'm aware that SS all along has DTG, but their DTG can either only:

1) print on white t-shirts

2) print on colored t-shirts but image has a white background

Regarding 2), they said they're testing ways to fix this and so far, haven't heard from them yet.

*****EDIT******

Ok, I looked again, and it's this "Digital Direct" printing they're talking about, but I doubt it will be released so soon, though, although I wished it was!

yeah that was bad printing from cafepress, but unfortunately that doesn't suprise me. I think it is that people don't care, not just at cafepress but just people in general. I purchased a shirt from my site at cafepress that was not aligned right. I think it is just the people not the machines. Did you call customer service about the problem and if so what did they say?

So i would say that the best companies with the best print/shirt quality are:
1. SpreadShirt - Vinyl Print
2. Zazzle - DTG Print

I don't believe this!
Are you sure the t-shirts above are not from CP and ZZ?

Also, no offense to anyone, but could you be some marketing manager / corporate evangelist from ZZ / CP / SS?

That is a very rude accusation to make. He has taken the time to show photos from several different printing places.

Without any proof or reasoning, that's not a very cool thing to say at all.

No service is perfect, there will be misprints that come out of any service that is selling 1000's of t-shirts per day. It's just the nature of the beast.

It shouldn't be anything common or a large percentage of all orders, but that's what customer service and return policies are for. As long as they are standing behind their work in the few cases that come out wrong, a small margin of error is to be expected.
