Custom T-Shirts (and others): Zazzle.com

So, Zazzle has been around for years and years; I think I first ordered from them during sophomore year of college, so it must have been about six or seven (christ, am I that old?) years ago. What's cool about Zazzle is that you can submit your own t-shirt designs, and they will print it for you quite reasonably. I made a t-shirt with the image below (which I made in the gimp in about ten minutes), and I got the thing printed for $19.95. Not bad! What's cool is, if someone else buys one of your designs, you get 10% of the proceeds. (I'm not linking to mine because I don't want to make money off of this blog).


The shirt looked great, because the image I submited was huge (2200x2300) with a large dpi (144). Getting images that size is tricky, because no web images are that size. I made shirt of an image that was only 705x680 72 dpi (a largish web image) and the shirt came out terrible and pixelated. The last comment I have is that the shirts don't last terribly long, because the image kind of flakes off after about 10 washes.

I also made a shirt off of this Indian Oil Corportation logo
