Some shirts we produced today. A combination of embroidery, printed vinyl & rhinestones.

... and the very young - we left off the rhinestones on purpose.

Hen Party

Hi Paul

Not priced them yet - whatever the market will pay I guess :)

Tell me Paul, when I put the rhinestone shirts out in direct sunlight I get a lovely starburts look. When I take a picture, the starburst is lost :(

Do I need a variable starburst filter?

r u using build in flash john? if so try to cover it with white sheet of paper, yougurt pot or milk bottle. if you got flash gun try bounce the light of the white sillink. this way they eill look more shiny and natural. or if you want to get effect like this: you need to get star filter or do it in photoshop, easy to do as well...

The pictures in my post were taken in sunshine Paul, so no flash, I do have a 380EX flash though.

I used hotoshop's RENDER filter - Lens Flare & Lighting - to get the effect. Do you have a RENDER filter for a 6 point star?

Cheers

yes i have. its in my camera bag. i think problem wit your pics is that you have a good lens with good coating on it. it.s not allowing any flare or blinks to the camera sensor.

Yes, that's right, it's my eyes that are crap :) I'll probably buy a Hoya 6 point star effect filter or maybe some Cokins. The Hoya filter is about £12 cheapest from Amazon - not a bad price really.

Hi just wanted to say i love the tshirts they are fab, will you be selling them off your website ??

what I wanted to know as a newbie to printing how do you get the printing of multi colours cut out, i take it it isnt sub and that it is printed onto vinyl - what type of vinyl is it and do you then you print onto it using an ink jet printer and then cut it out using a cutter?
do you need a special printer and ink to do it?

also with the stones do you have to do this at the same time or separate ie: do you press the shirt 1 time with it all on ?

am interested in mainly how you do different print type. just ordered my press and equipment so seeing what I can do to expand the sub work when I get sorted with it.

thanks lisa

Great designs, but where do you stand on using "Silverstone" and "Grand Prix" on the garments?
