Printed T shirt

busybee100

Ok not just any printed T shirt. A Melting Rubiks cube T shirt.

How do I find one that looks like it does in the picture? Clean straight lines around the cube squares and vivid colours.



Should I look for a digital print or a transfer? Or something else?

I've just sent one back because the lines around the cubes were wavy and the 'print' was patchy and faded. I've been told it's the 80s retro look??

Was it this?

Hi santer
It wasn't the one from Play. It was from a seller on Ebay but they all use the same perfect photo/picture. There seems to be different methods for printing, I'm wondering if I opted for the wrong one??

I posted that one as it says this " Melting rubix cube T-shirt. High Quality T-shirt with Durable, Vivid print." so I wouldn't expect it to be faded from the off. The feedback says it is good quality

Unfortunately you need a play account to contact the seller, otherwise you ask him to guarantee it will be as you want before buying it

Do you know anyone who is good with photoshop etc? So you could print your own.

I've emailed the seller on Play, fingers crossed.

No, I don't know anyone but we have a few printers locally, I could ring round.

Hmm, my original seller has come back and said they have printed another on a different setting and posted it out for me to have a look. Should get it Monday............

Hope it goes well.

Have downloaded an image here and have started to remove the background, unless it is wanted on a dark shirt.

If the play one isn't suitable, you could post in the tech forum to ask if anyone can remove the background and flip it horizontally for you (so it prints correctly), then you just need a sheet of transfer paper and a photo printer.

This was done recently in the tech forum, post 8 on.

:eek::rotfl: I'm afraid the rubiks cube is as wild as we get

If it is going on a black shirt then the image should be fine as it is, maybe the local printers will confirm this. If so, then they may print it onto transfer paper for you so you can iron it on. Google image search returns a few for melting rubik's cube, choose the largest suitable one and e-mail the link to a printer.

It would be easy to do yourself if you or someone you know has a photo printer, the image needs to be flipped horizontally to show correctly on the shirt. Transfer paper should be in Smith's or Ryman etc.

All sorted, turned up today and it's much better. Bright bold colours with sharp edges just as it should be, really pleased I sent the other back now.

Thank you for all your help.
