I understand they use a digital transfer process with heat. How does this process compare to others? My products will have 90% text with a simple logo.

It also depends on the text in your designs. Fine line fonts won't be as visible as denser bold ones. Duh, right? For full details on product quality and image details you can find loads of info in the CafePress COmmunity Forums (http://forums.cafepress.com/eve/ubb.x) Logged Scott Sauer: Cartoon Artist www.Scottoons.com Secret Creatures Guest Re: Cafepress quality « Reply #2 on: 07/08/05 at 17:25:09 » I've found the quality to be surprisingly great. I worked in the screenprinting industry for 6 years as a production artist, and I never was able to make art as sharp & clear as CP. (That, and the art is *so much* more a joy to create.) Just about everytime I get one of my designs, I marvel at the quality. Now, some of my designs have turned out murky, but that was my bad color choice, not CP's printing technique. I typically exceed all of the guidelines for graphic quality/resolution, but I'm just paranoid. So far, I've loved all of the products I've seen from my shop. (Around 30 now) Anyway, I'm lovin' em so far. My shop: www.secretcreatures.com Logged T.

At this price point, the cutting process for these stickers should be more professionally done!

All 4 cd's had flaws- scratches, clicking noises, etc.  Worse, the flaws were in different places on every copy, proving the problem was not from the master.   I called them and they refused a refund. I would recommend not using CafePress.

I just got an order of dark and light apparel - the printing was terrific - very vibrant. my two cents, Kristen Logged http://www.artoffoxvox.com | http://www.outofcontextquotes.com http://www.poweredbytshirts.com | http://shop.foodfollies.com http://celticchristmas.artoffoxvox.com | http://www.womenstshirtsplus.com Pages: 1   Jump to: Please select a destination: ----------------------------- General ----------------------------- - General Stuff   => Visitor's Guestbook ----------------------------- About cpshop -----------------------------   => News and Announcements   => cpshop-Compatible Hosting   => Customization Help   => Installation Help   => General cpshop Support   => Showcase   => Feature Requests   => Tutorials ----------------------------- Other Stuff -----------------------------   => Board Help   => Test Board marty.net message board (http://www.marty.net/cgi/marty/board/messageboard) Powered by YaBB 1 Gold - Release (Yet Another Bulletin Board) Copyright © 2000-2001, X-Null.
