Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the exact place to post this, but my question is:
Where I can print high quality t-shirts to promote my game? Obviously good prices too :-)
Are there good services on the web? What were your experiences on this?

I would make something like this one:


Thank you very much!!!

(If you want to print tshirts, that's cool.. but I don't think tshirts will help at all in promoting your game)

zazzle or cafepress are the usual ones

and sure t-shirts will help promote a game a bit: just get everyone making the game and all your friends / fans of the game to wear them everywhere they go, and talk about the game, and it'll help a little. it's not the best way to promote a game, but it'd help.

If you're willing to do order fulfillment yourself you should look at local screen printers. Just to use Spreadshirt as an example, it seems like the cheapest shirts are about 14 USD, plus 5 for shipping, and I'm not sure what quality of shirt they're using (very important IMO if you want people to have a nice shirt). The designer gets a 3 or 4 dollar commission there, so about 15 goes to Spreadshirt. In contrast I could print two-color American Apparel shirts locally for $9 plus $2 shipping. If I charged $20 I'd get $9 back -- or just give a more affordable price to your buyer. Of course the online services have other advantages (shipping size to order being a big one). Something to think about.

thanks to everyone for these suggestions..I also think that this isn't the best way to promote a game, but I think it's funny to give t-shirts to friends who can talk about it...I'm just evaluating at the moment  Grin
