Don't know anything about silk screening, but I do have a commercial T-shirt heat press left over from my UndiTops days that I'd be willing to donate.

I believe its this one...

Why not tie dye?
That would really piss the programmies off, if ye think about it.
Don't ye remember our tie dyes being taken from us b/c they were considered by "the program" to be "Druggie Paraphenailia"?

Must have been that dope laced sweat of your ozzing into your tie dye t-shirts that could be smoked later.

How about coming up with a phrase that catches people’s eyes and tickles their curiosity?   Remember when Geeks started coming out… and now there is “Geek squadâ€

I use to really like doing the silk screen process. When I was in High School, I would get pre-made frames from the craft shop and stretch the nylon screen myself.

I've done quite a few film cut stencils which was very time consuming, but very rewarding. Probably my best one was the pegasus from the Steve Miller albulm. I spent hours on a light table doing the cut out. But once I was done, there were a lot of people wearing shirts with my handy work on it.

This process looks pretty cool when you use a couple of colors, however no 2 shirts ever come out the same. In order to get multiple colors perfectly matching on each shirt, multiple screens would have to be made. But if you are only using one color, this is really the way to go.

If I send you like 10 or 15 blank t-shirts can you put a really simple design on them and then send them on?
