Not sure how to put this and get my point accross.
I use cp a lot for my sites and have built my site around them because
of the ease of the layout. The transition between site and shop is great.
I would love to do the same for my zazzle products.
I don't like the way zazzle has thier personal shops laid out. period! This has been my setback the whole time so I haven't been using them much. Well
besides the no control over mark up.
But i think the 17% is a better incentive now. the no coupons or no products sales is a major set back also. whats the deal with that?
any way, The problem I am having is figuring out a way to incorperate the zazzle products into my site without having to do just link overs. Anyone know of a better way to do this? I've had teams purchase well over 500 dollars of products per design with the zazzle products. I'd like to do more with that and go a little futher with it in other areas.
I just need an easier way to do it so i can keep up with a customer base.

I am a raster graphics person so screen print is out. I've tried to deal with that over the summer and being just one person, I got so far behind in my work that i couldn't catch up with either. which was a bad deal for me cause i lost time and customers, and still to this date havent opened up my custom design team shop again this year. i learned what i can do and what i cant do in my abalities. so that is a plus for me. time to move on.
thats what happened to that for those of you here that remember my persuing it here.

If your question is how to setup a custom shop with Zazzle without having to do linkovers, then I think the answer is, there isn't a way.

That's just one of the differences with the way Zazzle is setup and functions.

And you don't have to have vector graphics with screen printing. High resolution raster graphics are used all the times (that's all I know how to create as well).

thats a real shame with them. I love thier image size. The t-shirts are great.
And never any promotion codes or sales. ? I've noticed each time they post here, they seem to disapear after you ask them about a promo coupon. Prob someone just advertising for them.

well, theres a can of worms opened. I've looked at spreadshirt and a few others.. vector graphics. the only one i've seen to not use it would be 99 dogs. I dunno. I've tried hitting the local shops and the same.. vector or the squegee type plus found some info on what some do that just amazed me. maybe i just asked the wrong dern questions. would love to get something going with it but i just burned up to much time with it earlier this year. cost me customers and made a few others mad. not good.

Neither of those places are screen printing shops. Spreadshirt uses flock/flex printing and heat press for light garments and 99 dogs uses some sort of vinyl printing process.

I do wish the Zazzle folk would answer more questions here that are posted, but to be fair, they did finally post a coupon code.

Hi mtn910,

Just wanted to let you know that we are running a promotion for free ground shipping (promo code: ZAZZLEFS1205) through December 7. I replied to Rodney's earlier posts two days ago.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Best,

Sry I'm new so this may be a dumb question, but what is raster graphics?

A PNG or JPG would be a raster image file. A vector based image could be resized without any loss of quality. A raster image is loosing in quality when you try to make it bigger for example.
