I would imagine it would be a rubber transfer to the fabric (remember all those rainbow brite and he-man shirts you had in the 80s? (Or the starwars ones in the 70's). They do not breathe and will work off during laundering. This makes sense tho, the reason why they made the rubberised transfers was to allow for an accurate image to appear on the fabric. If they had used ink for your old Transformers T-shirts, it would have looked like crap, would have been hard to print, and would have bled thus giving a poor image quality.

Actually, it's somewhat detailed here. I think it's a different material than what they used back then. Haven't washed it yet to see it's durability.

Ink works fine. Not that Rit dye stuff, nor whatever you're thinking of, but industrial dyes. Colored shirts are fine as long as you don't bleach them. The fabric paint/ink pen (from Michael's crafts) I used for my training shirts only bled a little into the fabric if I pressed too hard for too long. And I bleach those shirts and the ink has only faded a little. It's good ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Then of course there's silk screening.

Cafe Press was the third one I looked into. Both they and Spreadshirt have a {TINY} limit on images, so I bagged on them in that respect.


$25 for a shirt in '90? That was a lot? Hell, Levi 501s were thirty bucks in the late 80s. And for the girls who shopped at the Gap.....of course, my girlfriend in the mid/late 90s would only shop there for jeans, cos...as she wore them where her actual WAIST WAS....it was the only place she could find jeans that fit her waist, hips, and ass. (Alas, in years since, she's fallen from grace.....)

Okay, so I've done some more exploration, as well as comparison. Wordans is $31.47, maybe plus shipping. Blue Cotton is cheaper at $29.98 including shipping, and appears to have a better quality of product.

I'm also curious which color of the Blue Cotton images you think looks better with the MAME image shown - purple, or violet?

SavannahLion:
Purple. The violet looks kind of funky.

Mm. I was kinda mixed, possibly because on my monitor the purple looks so dark. But I am more inclined to purple. Thanks.
