Hey MCB'ers!
A little update with where I am at with "Splatty".
Diving deeper into Printful services, I see that they are DTG (Direct to Garment) printers (think your home inkjet printer but made to print on clothes) as opposed to Silkscreen and Dye Sublimation. Each method has its pros and cons. Design wise this means DTG colors galore on white and lightly colored fabrics, but colors on darker fabrics may not be as vibrant. Not an issue if I just keep the design Black or White ink.
I found options for sleeve prints and a small-back-neck-area print. I'm going to see if adding designs to these areas will increase cost. If no charge, I will definitely add some design there.
As a side note, I am going with Printful mainly because they have distribution centers and printers worldwide, which hopefully equals to cheaper shipping to those across the pond. This and the fact they have a boat load of other products.
Stay tuned. I'm adjusting the artwork to best fit their printing requirements and reviewing their products for "the best bang for our buck" option.
Thanks!
Elliot
