Wow, that’s kinda suprise Great news!

Lets just hope this doesn’t turn out like the logo category. Lets make sure there is crystal clear documentation on how to upload shirts designs and what type of variations will be needed.

I look forward to this category. Lance you are like butter.

I have some exciting new for all you fantastic designers – we’re about to launch a category specific to t-shirt templates. In should go live on the 13th, Australian time. The main focus of this category will be, as the name implies templates. By templates I mean designs t…...................................................................

wow, really nice. i suggest providing t-shirt templates and some tuts at PSDtuts+ to encourage designers.

That is exciting news, but I think you may be limiting your thinking a bit

Because most of the buyers will end up getting their item screen printed

Not always the case, especially if you are thinking sports team, with individual numbers and names, then the customer is more likely to go for print on demand (Direct to Garment or DTG ) or possibly dye submlimation or even vinyl / heat press. Both of which do not have the same color limitations as screen printing also do not have the same file format requirments (Don’t require EPS )

1. Shirt designs should be the same size in inches as they are meant to be on the actual shirt.

DTG and Heat press have different “printable” area specs as well. Dye Sub depend entirely on the finished product.

Just my two cents, but I think it is certainly an interesting category.

It might be very helpful to designers if you you’re more specific in sizes. Most screen printers use pretty standard size screens that have mesh areas (the bit inside the frame) of around 20” x 28” with some going up to larger sizes like 35” plus for more wrap around designs, but even then, you should not design right to the edge of the mesh, as this can result in an uneven ink coverage due to mesh tension.

DTG and Heat press have different “printable” area specs as well. Dye Sub depend entirely on the finished product.

Thanks for submitting this question before me ? I have also same question ?

Awesome! Looking forward to this category.

I want to ask about the Price ?. Also it will be very useful if you insert a predefined model (such as for business cards) to facilitate the work of the new or beginners graphic designers. Personally I ‘am not familiar with this type of design, and it will be very useful for me to refer to a model especially for my first item in this category.
