I received my 88 Rockets T-shirt from Printfection.com yesterday and much to my surprise it wasn't complete crap. I ordered a couple shirts from CafePress a while back and you could see the 'clear' part transfer from when it was ironed on. This one looks like it was printed onto the shirt – ink appears to be soaked into the threads not just sitting on top of them. I also sent the shirt on it's first journey through the washer and dryer and the image held up great. The only major problem I have with the shirt is that the 'Retro Gamer' tag on the back should be placed up higher on the shirt.

It's not as good as a silk screen print but, considering that this design would cost over $100 just to make the screens (wouldn't be a problem if I was selling them though) and that alone makes it worth the couple of bucks I spent on it.

*edit* I really can't spell it seems. I think I need a beer.

The real question is: Is 88 rockets enough?

*update*

I wanted to see how 88 Rockets actually looked on a shirt and since silk-screening one shirt is insanely expensive I turned to one of those print on demand services.  Sure the quality of the print will probably be only a bit better then an iron-on but at least I'd get a good idea of the final product.  I hate CafePress so I used a newer service called Printfection they are running a special right now which will allow new customers to get one shirt for $2 per side (plus shipping).  My shirt came to $9.95 total – not to bad for an iron-on.  I scaled the front down a bit on the print version – I think it might have been a touch too much.

We'll see just how good or bad it looks in about a week or so.
