T-Shirt Printing.

Postby Doorstop » Sun Sep 16, 2007 11:30 am

Do any of my fellow HGers know of an establishment in Glasgow that prints custom designs onto t-shirts?

Preferably coloured designs onto black fabric .. and in small runs (around 6 or 7 shirts at a time).

Any advice gratefully recieved .. I'm running out of time.

Cheers.

Morton at Kelvinbridge underground might be worth a visit.

They've got to be quite hardy Cochrane, I thought of transfer paper myself but I had heard it doesn't like the inside of a Hotpoint so went looking elsewhere.

The other two options look worth a wee speculative phone call or two.

Ta muchly.

And cheers for that Mori .. that sound like it's right next door to my Pop's. I'll give them a visit when I'm over on Tuesday.

Thanks Guys .. loads of leads .. I knew I'd get help here.

It continues to amaze me that Morton T-Shirt printing remains an active business. Their inability to differentiate between your and you're is comical at best, and unprofessional at worst.

Anybody remember the name of the t-shirt place down near the Soundhaus? Cannot for the life of me mind it's name, but the company has a good rep.

I think I've mentioned previously said in this thread that I commisioned the artist who does the outstanding artwork for Ben Paddons stellar cyber comic 'Jump Leads' to do some graphics for my daughter who loves his arty stuff.

I decided to get them printed onto t-shirts as part of her Christmas.

The commission was cheap as chips, unfortunately finding a high quality t-shirt printer was somewhat more of a pecuniary challenge .. however I found one, £20 a pop for the high quality rubberised printing on a top notch "Fruit Of The Loom" garment from MonoPrint in Glasgow .. tel: 0141 420 3898 .. I fully recommend them for all sorts of garment printing .. they do the lot from t-shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces etc all the way to hard wear items such as overalls, hi vis jackets/waistcoats and vehicle graphics too.

All done as far as I saw today in a very professional manner up to and including telling me how I could alter any images I presented to them in future in order to both raise the quality and diminish the price of the finished product.

Absolutely superb .. I cannot fault them .. sterling establishment, sterling job from a really nice bloke with the friendliest Rodesian Ridgeback as shop pet .. I spent most of my visit chatting away with the bloke on the technicalities of image management whilst petting his big sook of a dog.

Cannot recommend them highly enough!!

Anyway .. here are two of the drawings I commisioned from jJar (Jump Leads Draughtman) and one which I cobbled together myself (my wee lassie is a manga fan) on the finished articles .. I'm well chuffed!

Quality T-Shirt Printing.

We found http://www.stop-the-press.co.uk/ on FreeIndex last year, they're a small screen printers in Sauchiehall Street and they turned around a small job for us very quickly and with excellent results. We've used them several times since & would recommend them.

Rainbow Ink in Kilmarnock do a great job.

EDIT I'd hasten to add if you are happy with that crap gloss around what should be black then you can do it with a decent printer
