I ask becuase most t-shirt places want files in vector format (created in illustrator or freehand). They can probably work with what you give them (meaning, they'll have to redraw everything in the program they use and it may cost more), but there's no guarantee it will look *exactly* like what you gave them. They're expensive but it's worth it. Its expensive but well worth it.

If it's a place you've used before and you're happy with them, cool. Otherwise, don't be surprised if it's not exactly the same. Especially if you're just pulling low-rez jpegs off the intarweb.

Personally, they're just ok to me, nothing memorable. If you like them, that's all that matters.

Ouch. I'm getting the images from the internet (I checked the licensing stuff on them, theyre all public.)
The T-shirt place we use can do shirts from a print out or any image file, they usually clean them up to look nicer than the image you give them.

If you've used them before, know how they work and are happy with them, cool. I just know a lot of people think they've made these SUPERAWESOME designs with a few web images slapped together in Paint and are disappointed when it doesn't look exactly the same. That's all.
