I've given this a go a few times and the results are reasonably pleasing initially but soon degrade after a few washes. If you're going to go this route make sure you turn shirts inside out before you wash, this will help a bit. Smaller designs seem better - a company logo seems to work well but a full a4 size will look rough pretty quick. I've seen some good looking results printing directly onto fabric with modified printers although I have no idea if they will wear any better: http://hackaday.com/2010/06/06/how-to-diydtg/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
