A question about how the design actually looks

Upon browsing through buyers booth I started to wonder upon the printing process. A pet hate of mine is a t-shirt that has a kind of texture to the print and when you wash it, it starts to break up. Its this the case with redbubble’s t-shirts or are they flat printed onto the t-shirt link dye or something? |

RB print onto the shirt. The image has a plastic-like feel to it, and in two years of weekly washing and tumble-drying it has yet to fade or come off. Get one, you wont be upset. The prints are excellent and the shirt quality is awesome. |

To be fair – they aren’t hi-res photo quality prints. You’re printing onto fabric after all. but the colours are great, the quality is beyond reproach, the shirts never pill [where the fabric rubs off into tiny little balls of fuzz]. The material is a nice thick heavy weight. The shirts don’t feel flimsy at all. After 2 years they haven’t faded [I wear only black shirts] and the prints are as good as the day they first arrived. I am so very impressed with the shirts from RB that I have thrown out all my shirts from my local department store and now only wear RB tee-shirts [RBT’s]. I think they are worth every cent. I get so many comments every time I wear them – it is just silly. If you ever have a problem with the shirts, then Admin will do their darnedest to make you happy and resolve the problem. [they are very keen on customer service]. So don’t worry, buy some – you’ll love ’em! The coolest thing – you can make your own one of a kind unique shirts and buy them for yourself! |

@Byron Do you wash them by hand or do they go into the machine? What washing powder are you using? ;-))) |

They go into a normal wash cycle, I use enviromentally friendly “Bosistos Brand” eucalyptus oil for washing liquid [its magic, and it makes your clothes smell loverly], then they go into a 1 hour hot-cycle tumble drier. Sometimes I use Orange Power laundry wash. |

Thanks Byron. If they go through normal wash cycle and also go through 1 hour hot-cycle tumble drier that is further proof of the quality (if my male knowledge of washing is correct……) |

I am a god with the iron, Dawn. A long sleeved business shirt, with creases in less than 3 minutes… Being single my whole life – you gotta get good at these things, however I only iron 1 thing – my uniform shirt. My uniform pants are permanent press… wash-dry-hang… magic. In winter I don’t iron anything because I wear a work jumper or jacket over my shirt… so the shirt doesn’t see an iron until summer. I don’t iron anything else. I HATE ironing [and anything else that could possibly be construed as “housework”] |

Byron, are you Tom Waits in disguise?……reading this thread is like listening to the marvellous Mr. Waits doing one of his between songs routines – FAN-bloody-TASTIC – couldn’t care less whether it’s true or not, I love it anyway…keep it up! Steve. |

I tumble dry mine, and I haven’t had a problem in nearly 3 years. But I am not saying you should do that. If I had an option I wouldn’t tumble dry them – but I don’t. I am only saying that so far I haven’t had a problem and I am treating them badly. I think it really means “do not EAT” |
