Aww, I was really hoping they'd be available screen-printed. Everything I hear about iron-ons is fairly negative...and I don't know of any place that'll print up a design without having to make bulk orders of shirts. Do you know any places like that?
Congrats on the compliments! I don't think you could get any better than that.

I'm toying with the idea of giving up on the whole idea of getting them screen printed, and moving towards just making the designs available so you can iron them on your own shirt. Who knows.
please don't give up! if the longevity of this thread proves anything, it's that the interest for high quality screen-printed version is very strong!
My friends and I recently printed up some shirts for our community group, and even though there were only about 50 of us, we got a silk-screen (single color, double sided) print for about $14. It might be an investment, paying for the shirts and then selling them off, but if proper track of the preorder counts is kept, there is little chnace that you would be stuck with surplus. If needs be, ask for payments right before the shirts are printed to help defray the cost (that's what we did).
please don't give up! We (and especially I) have faith in you and a desire to own your show-accurate creations!

Yes! Please don't give up! I still really want a Water shirt! I'd send you the shirt myself if you could get the design put on!

Have you ever considered someplace like CafePress or similar?
Also have you thought about contacting the Blue Sun Shirts people and asking them where they get their shirts printed up?
Personally I would NOT be interested in an iron on. They flake off too easily. But I would totally be interested in a Jayne T-shirt collection. The other thought it. I know by me there are printing companies that do shirts and others tuff. My office ordered shirts last year, we ordered maybe 20-25 shirts and they didn't cost us more than $5 a piece. I am sure that if you ordered up 25 of each of your shirts (5 each of sm, med, lg, xl, and xxl) that you could get rid of them in a heartbeat. Even if you can't get rid of them here, you can on ebay! Plus if you have a good demand the screen printing company keeps your design on file, and then you can get it printed whenever you want.
The cost of screen printed shirts depends on the number of colors and screens needed. The Blue Sun shirts would be super cheap, the Pin-Up girl not so much, but to tell you the truth I think people around here would be willing to pay a good $20-30 for a high quality reproduction shirt.
Just my 2 cents.

BlackEyedGirl: All of your suggestions sound brilliant, except for the CafePress thing...I've never seen them myself, but I hear tell that the printing on their t-shirts is fairly low-quality. Plus, there's a very limited choice of colors, and they're all light or pastel.
If anyone can provide testimony to the contrary, of course, it might be a good plan.

The Bumpty Dance is your chance to do the bump.
I already expressed interest in your venture a couple of times a while ago, Hell's Kitten, but I just wanted to add that I would now kill for a movie version "Troublemaker" shirt. So, good luck with the recovery/recreation of the graphics!

I'm interested in the following
Top row 1 (new Serenity) & 4 (Rowdy Play)
2nd Row 1&2 (crew shirt and blue sun)
3rd row 1 (water)
and the new movie Rowdy shirt. Which ones will depend on price. I have some friends without .net access so I suspect once we have prices and sizes there will be multiples of most of these.

Out of interest how many screens would we be talking for these designs. I do know a local firm that does this kind of work. If I had some idea as to what you need I might be able to get you a quote.

I want 'em all.
Take my name, take my cash. Don't go for CafePress trash. I don't care that they're not free. You can make these shirts for me
