Unrelated to wiki. Some notes on getting t-shirts made
Goal: full color t-shirt. Lowish volume (1-20). Focus on quality over cost
TLDR:
: gah wiki software messed up the table…badly. Don't trust below

Notes:
Summary:
Very easy to use. Website worked smoothly (Firefox)
Price something like
Above: preview
Don't like their website
Above: editing window showing poor centering / faulty print
Above: preview looks okay
Had to apply my own alpha or preview looked wonky. Unclear if this would have actually impacted print quality (white box)
Snaps on web UI to center easier
