Star Wars T Shirt Designs

The Ackbar is amazing! Well done dude!

Yeah that's very expensive. There's no money to be made at that cost. Try these guys. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fifth-Column-T-Shirts/115608371801710

And it's always worth trying just 1 or 2 colours per tee. My quote for 50 1 colour tees was under 250. 2 colours can't be that much more.

Thanks man - have requested a quote from them - and some refinements from firethingy...

Dude, sorry the FireLabel link didn't help, your Ackbar is a four colour screen (white, brown, yellow, black). I got a £6.40 an item price from them for 50 units (Vat, P&P inc) for a 4 colour silkscreen print late last year. Once the screens are made future runs are well under £5 for 50 units (cheaper for bigger orders). Maybe prices have gone up since my enquiry?

Which ever way you go good luck (BTW I don't work for FireLabel ) and can I put in an order for an Ackbar T-shirt now?

Unfortunately that is the going rate for a 4 colour print job for that amount of shirts once you factor in the screen set up costs and ink changes. Once you go above 2 colours the pricing changes completely, If you are going for the full colour job though there is no cheap way around it unfortunately.

Some guys I use occasionally for screen printed stickers are doing a deal of £195 for 50 1 colour shirts at the moment. Speak to them and see what they can suggest.

Just a thought but why not go for a Stomtrooper design in that style, you could easily then produce one colour design 50 shirt run for under £200 or maybe a lot less if you enquire about a 25 shirt run.

You could do a Death Star one too (just grey) "THAT'S NO MOON"

Thanks again chaps

I had an email this morning saying that TheYetee.com is going to print A Good Blaster - it'll be up for 48 hours in August some time. It's also going to be printed in glow in the dark ink!?

I'm really tempted to simplify a design or two (or go with the stormtrooper and death star ideas) and get a limited print run made up - I don't think I'll ever retire on tshirt design, but the extra cash could be incredibly helpful. That awesomedesign place looks a good bet...

WOW! These are fantastic! Ackbar and Wicket are my absolute favs!

I was just alerted to this thread and had to chime in my support! Good luck! These are great!

**EDIT**

By the way a friend of mine just got a gig as a screen printer. He might be able to help too. Unfortunately he's in the states, but he might have a tip or two. Let me know and I can put you in touch.

Thanks

At the moment the most likely sites for picking up my designs are TeeBusters and Qwertee. Although Qwertee rejected Ackbar.

TheYetee are going to run A Good Blaster in August some time...

And until I can work out a way of printing myself and selling them on my site or eBay - all my designs go on my RedBubble store (I get a tiny cut from the sale of each shirt/sticker/hoody etc).

I'm currently working on trying to simplify some of the designs - get them down to one colour - so I can look at the possibility of a limited print run. But we'll see how that goes...

I would just like to say - thanks to you all for your support and advice with this. I really appreciate the welcome

These designs are great

Thx

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I returned to this thread - but here I am...

I'm on a bit of a promotion push (sorry) - I've got one design going to print in October some time (which will be super cool) - but in the meantime my other designs at other sites are on a vote plateau.

Would it be cool to pop the links here (or somewhere) for voting again? And do folk fancy sharing the links on any other SW forums/Twitter/FB etc?

If not - thats cool

Cheers

Out Of interest what are the copy right laws regarding the use of Star Wars Charcters and quotes?

It's one of those things - you can usually get away with things if there is a parody element. I've been burned by Lucasfilm before - they asked a site to take them down. You'd like to think that Disney would see the designs as fanart - I'm not going to retire on the sales of the shirts. I just enjoy making them and the fact that some other folk seemed to dig them.

Thanks for the info.

Really Like your designs, hope you make a success of it.
