Everybody knows that I’m a sucker for Indian folk designs, so I was thrilled to be tipped off by one of our lovely commentators to Vibrantribes. Custom t-shirt has become to a mainstream for wearing t-shirt.
Print your own t-shirt designs on the t-shirt with your endless imagination and creativity.
And the T-shirts are really good, really good. But … (here I am going to be just a little snarky) the website got on my nerves.
First, it has music. You can turn off the music, but a website that plays music at you as soon as you open it is so 2002, and annoying, that I would have clicked straight off the site if it hadn’t been work research. That’s the first bad thing.
The second bad thing is that while I like the idea of being able to design your own T-shirt, and the site makes that quite easy, the actual photographs of the artwork you’ve chosen on the background you’ve chosen just aren’t good enough for the average buyer to decide whether to go ahead or not. I really wanted to pick one of the designs on a dark background, because I like dark T-shirts (what’s not to like?) but when the photographs come up, half the dark T-shirt images don’t show up clearly and it’s impossible to tell if that’s because the T-shirt is crummy or the photo is crummy, and who wants to buy a crummy T-shirt? A few more photographs of people actually wearing the Tees, particularly the dark ones, would help browsers judge how the dark T-shirts actually look when being worn.
For most of the time, for t-shirt printing we always choose screen printing technology.
T-shirt screen printing technology is most prevalent used. Finally, you can’t get all the artwork on dark Tees, so sometimes the system defaults to a white T-shirt without explaining why which is damned annoying.
