Probably because as the original post indicated, the discussion was about polo shirts and cafe press only does tshirts/hats/shorts. Not that a nice tshirt would be to bad either though.
My bad. I thought cafepress supported that. I would have sworn I had seen it there in the past. Josh
CafePress.com actually *DOES* do polo shirts (i've gotten a few from them in the past) but they're fairly low quality. the imagery goes away after probably five washes (or they degrade so much you can see the actual iron-on pattern!) The polos I get for Chan's ATA Leadership and Black Belt Academy come from KICKS! Explosive Sports Wear in Beatrice, Nebraska (or is it Crete? I forget..) I highly recommend finding a print shop in town that does polos and get them there. Cheaper and better quality than going to some cheap-arse place like Cafepress. :) They're good for a few things (Tshirts, mugs, mousepads, that kind of thing) but polos? They suck :) -- Joe Brouhard Certified Trainer Demo Team Captain 1st Degree Black Belt Recommended Chan's ATA Leadership and Black Belt Academy jbrouhard@chansata.com Quoting Josh Charles <josh.charles@gmail.com>:

That's what I was discussing with the Becks. I've got a large enough graphic (home.kc.rr.com/mharder/tux14.jpg<http://home.kc.rr.com/mharder/tux14.jpg>) available to size down, or can re-run from the pov-ray source to whatever resolution anyone could need.
I have a friend who runs a computerized embroidery operation from his house. He's done Polo shirts, jackets, and hats for me. He does very good work. I'm not sure what he would need to create the Penguin logo for us. Those machines use special formats. He can convert into those formats, but I'd have to contact him to find out what he would need from us. I'll ask him about it when I see him Sunday. Brian JD --- "Monty J.

My grandparents run a embroidery/garmet embellishment business out in California. They have a special application that when you open an image file, you can draw/trace stitch patterns on top of it. He called the process "digitizing." I created my own /. polo that way. ;) I'm guessing the file format is proprietary to the embroidery machine and it's associated computer application, but probably just contains the coordinates for each stitch, changing to a different color thread, etc. Jeremy
I talked with my friend Sunday and he said that he can make the polos for $15-$20 with $20 being for the better polo shirts. He can take an image from us (he prefers jpeg), and convert it to his needs. The images used by the embroidery machines break the image into threads and stitches, obviously. His price is all-inclusive. --- Jeremy Turner <jeremy@linuxwebguy.com> wrote:

As a non-paying member I vote for this. If it counts. Might even invest in some extra for ITEC. Slice me off one of those -- XXL and either blue or ash color. Red maybe in a pinch. Gary Hildebrand St. Joseph, MO
I think Tux's flipper sticks out too far past the handle of the branding iron. Can we pull it back a little? On 9/10/05, Monty J. Harder <mjharder@gmail.com> wrote:
