Title: FS: Design your own Retrogaming-T-Shirt
Post by: nexus6 on June 20, 2008, 09:13:36 am
Choose your shirt out of an large amount of products and colors, place a design or text on it, which you can color, turn and size like you want it, to get your individual t-shirt with the LowRez-Designer.

Try it here (http://lowrezdesigner.spreadshirt.net)!

This service is only available at LowRez Europe.

hmm, nice idea, but ok, i wont steal it ...

btw: you could place two of the zappolero-designs on the shirt, mirror one of them an type your text on it. unfortunatelly that will become a little bit expensive because there are two designs and a text on one shirt.

edit: i think my suggestion wont work, because the zapper seems to bee to big to place it twice on the shirt :(

That would be awesome if you had 5 kids: 4 of them ghosts and then 1 wearing a pacman.

I just make my own at home. They turn out just fine.

I've made stencils of manilla folders using my computer and printer and then cutting them by hand with a blade (which is a bit time-consuming and wears on the hand), and then I use a dye pen. How do you do yours?

I was going to get that one too, but I wasn't sure about the "flock" printing. I'm not exactly sure what that is but it sounds strange. It's also not a standard heavy cotton shirt and sounds like it's cut differently than the typical shirt. I decided not to buy. If you don't mind, please let me know how you like the shirt. I love that design.

I just use printable transfers.

the shirt that theShanMan shows is the heavycotton-shirt.

Flock Print:
a velvety feel, like a thin layer of plush
extremely durable

And that works well? How does it compare to commercial shirts in terms of quality of image and lifetime?

Nexus' shirts kick ass!!  :applaud:


It just feels and looks professional.....nothing compared to the feeling you have with those transfer papers. It's OK for doing a little quick and funny shirt but if you want quality.....go for Nexus :)

The problem with these is they can get hot. Not like those acrylic ones in the 70s - my god - but still. The advantage of them is you can use any color shirt. I wonder how much it would cost for embroidery?

I have some I made a few years ago and I still wear them today. My wife as well.

As for them being hot, it's only a problem if you put one on the back. If it's on the front, there's no issues, but yeah, on the back, it sticks to you. (Unless you keep it small)
