Angry Make those talkbass shirts in black!!

Sign in to disble this ad
I was looking at the talkbass shirts and there all in white and grey. I think you should make them in black too cause then i would perhaps buy one. I just don't like wearing white shirts...not my thing.

I was looking at the "Chicks Dig Bass Players" shirt. I thought it was funny. But none in Black.

I think this was suggested before, but black shirts require more ink, there for the prices would increase.

I for one think black shirts, hats, etc, would be awesome also.

Here's why no black shirts

The TalkBass store uses the CafePress service, and CafePress does everything with dye sublimation - adding colors over a light background to acheve the desired image, kind of like your computer's printer. Notice how there's no white ink? That's because the printer (and CafePress) use the background as the defacto for white.

The big advantage of CafePress is that there's no out-of-pocket costs to run your store - everything is made on a per-order basis, so silkscreening (which is what you'd need to do light colors on dark fabric) isn't feasable - there's too much setup cost in getting the screens made.

That being said, I'd pay good money for a black TB shirt, but until we're all willing to pitch in for a large combined order, I doubt you'll see it happen.

still, i would pay $20/$25 or more for a black shirt...

maybe there's another service like cafePress but with black shirts OR Paul goes to a local shirt shop to make these custom shirts... making about 50 shirts would be fairly enough for a first batch of them.

but what do I know!

How about just Gold ink on Black? Or Silver? Or Red?
That shouldn't cost anymore.

I've silk-screened shirts for years.

Something seems a little fishy when it costs more to print White Vinyl Ink on black.

Thanks, Paul! How large do the 2X run? Can you be bribed into doing some 3X and 4X for us big bottom-dwellers?
