    Anyone knows of online store to print black tees?

    I tried Cafepress but they don't print spaghetti t-shirts and camisoles in black. Only in white. Bummer!

    I tried Spreadshirt but somehow, they always reject my logo because they say the quality wouldn't be good. Bummer again!

    The logo that I have is in PNG format and you may have a look here: http://www.exquisiteangelz.com/logo.png.

    So, any recommendations?

          Image properties on your header.png is saying it's only 71dpi so they are right about low quality. When I looked at t-shirt printing a while ago as someone wanted their logo re-doing for t-shirts the printers were asking for 300dpi as a raster image.

                  I have use dthis comapny for Black t-shirts and other colors, they have tons of styles they print on, you may need to call them though.

                      Do you mean the resolution property? I did try 300dpi with Spreadshirt but it didn't work.

                          thats your image pasted into a 300dpi page and then saved and spreadshirt.com bounced to spreadshirt.co.uk for me and the t-shirt builder thing seemed to accept it.

                          ideally though printers seem to prefer vector images that can be resized with no quality loss

                          with anything like this though if you find someone that says they can do it make sure you get a proof done before you go ahead and order 500 or you could end up with 500 unuseable rags.

                                  they say 150dpi for clothing

                                  Recommended pixel dimensions
                                  • pocket: 600 x 600 pixels = 4" x 4"
                                  • horizontal: 2100 x 1800 pixels = 14" x 12"
                                  • vertical: 1800 x 2100 pixels = 12" x 14"

                                  The images you upload will be converted to 150ppi (pixels per inch) if they aren?t already at this resolution. This means every 150 pixels in your image will become 1 inch when printed. For example, if you submit a 1200 pixel by 1500 pixel image for an apparel product, it will be printed at 8" by 10". (1200 pixels table divided by 150 pixels/inch = 8 inches, 1500 pixels tableided by 150 pixels/inch = 10 inches.)
                                  going on their waffle your image is 1000x200 and would print out as 6.6inches x 1.3 inches which is probably going to be a bit small on the front of a t-shirt.

                                      This may sound stupid of me but how do I set the DPI parameters? I looked up both Photoshop and PhotoImpact but I only see an option to set the resolution parameter which is in PPI.

                                          I found the pixels per inch as well but I think that may be what you're looking for... set it at 300 and you should be good...

                                          someone correct me iif I am wrong please/.

                                              The original image needs to be at least 200 dpi, some say 300 but I've found 200 works just as well for apparel printing.

                                              The original image needs to be created at the 200 or 300 dpi level..you can't just take a 72 dpi image and "add" dpi to it.

                                              You have to consider the actual size of the art..if its a typical website header image size it will print out at what might be a very tiny 2 inch by 6 inch image.

                                              As was said above you really want a logo to be created in vector format so you CAN enlarge or reduce the image w/o any loss in quality.

                                              Whatever vendor you finally use I would strongly suggest ordering a sample so you can check the final image quality, your logo has a glow around the halo and the detail in the wings that may be difficult to reproduce as designed.
                                              You may also want to adjust colors, such as the blue outline on the text so it pops out better against a black background. Remember that the color you see on the screen most likely will not be the same tone when printed. You also have white against a black edge that sometimes creates an issue when printing white on black apparel, depending on the printing methods.

                                                      in photoshop open a NEW image set to 3000 pixels by 3000 pixels at 300 dpi (this will result in a 10 inch by 10 inch printed area)
                                                      ...next open the cartoon and copy that image to the new image project
                                                      ...next add a new text layer with the information about your site and style it as you desire
                                                      ...when complete..save the image in whatever format the printer specifies in their requirements. it might be a .PSD, .EPS, .JPEG, .PNG (it will automatically save at 300 dpi unless you alter the settings)
                                                      upload that image to the printer.

                                                          upload that image to the printer.
                                                          Is this the correct settings? This is from CS3. I don't have CS4 unfortunately. And I don't see anything that specifies dpi, unless I am correct that it is the resolution in pixels/inch.
