Tshirt Personalization?

[Longhorn Al]

I didn't know what to title this topic. I need a shop that will put lettering on the back of a tshirt. I live in South Austin. Does anyone know of any places around here that will do that? I sorta remember a place in a mall, but I don't remember which mall or how long ago that was.

I need to get this done before I head to the Cotton Bowl. Your help is appreciated.

If you have access to an inkjet printer, you can make your own iron-on transfer with great ease. Go to the craft store and get a T-shirt for 3.99 and iron it on yourself. It won't last forever, but do you really care?

I make t-shirts for the kids all the time.

You can do it yourself with a dot matrix printer and the iron on substrate. They have it at Fry's up north I know.

They might have iron on lettering at some Hobby place. Or kinkos can perhaps do it. Rooster Andrews used to do that sort of stuff but I don't think they will do it if it says Texas or Longhorns.

I want to buy a Texas Football shirt first, then get a message put on the back. If you must know...I'm making a Long Live Larry shirt. So if I spend $15 on the shirt itself, I'd like for the lettering to last at least a few wash cycles.

Thanks for the help so far. So places like Hobby Lobby may have individual iron on letters? That may work. Any other suggestions?

 

[NickDanger]

I don't know about the individual letters at hobby lobby, but OfficeMax or Office Depot (I can't keep them straight and I can't speak of the one that pimps out Alice Cooper lying about school being out forever) sells HP iron-on transfer packets. You just make your image (Word or Photoshop or whatever) and print it onto the transfer sheet and iron it on.

For example, I have taken pictures of the guests at a slumber party and, before the party is over, the kids get their own T-shirt with all their pictures as a party favor.

You could easily save the photoshopped pictures of Larry from HorninNYC's thread, add LONG LIVE LARRY, print it, iron it, and wear it to the game.

It saved me from having to interact with teenage girls. Besides, I used the new Binford steamatic press.

 

[HornTillDeath]

Teenage girls eh? Arrgh, Arrgh, Arrgh

 

[Longhorn Al]

Nick - That sounds awesome (as does the teenage slumber party

) I'll hit those 2 stores up tonight for that product. I've got photoshop and I've got an HP P1000 printer.

Do I need to use steam when ironing it on, or do I just heat it up?

 

[NickDanger]

I'm pretty sure no steam, but the instructions come in the package. Even I can do it and I have been banned from the laundry room for repeated and unintentional

transgressions.

 

[Longhorn Al]

Sounds familiar, Nick.

Will Larry be immortalized this weekend?
