The Final Word of Bleachbot
July 21st, 2008
Due to the high demand, and unforeseen difficulty in producing bleachbot shirts I am forced to offer them for only one more day. One more torturous day of cutting stencils, washing shirts, and venting fumes. This means that on Wednesday the 23rd I will not continue to make bleachbot shirts.
Now is the time to get in any orders before it’s gone for good.
For people who have already ordered, your shirts will be shipped the following Thursday.
Thank you for your understanding while I iron out the kinks of creating a quality business that is both ethical, and sustainable. It’s not as easy as the commercials make it look.
In the coming weeks I have several screen printed shirts lined up so stay tuned!

Have you tried cafepress.com or zazzle.com? You supply the graphics and they do all the work. No monetary investment on your part. You set the price for your item which determines how much you will make from them. Check them out. It may work out to your advantage.

Early on I tried both cafe press, zazzle, bountee, and skreened. Though the service is highly convenient, the majority of the money goes to the company instead of the designer.
Because they charge so much for a shirt, I would only be able to make a few dollars for each sale.
Also there was a big issue on quality. I was never happy with how the shirts looked printed out. the colors were almost always wrong and would crack and fade after the first wash.
Producing t-shirts myself will allow me to keep the cost down, quality up and support myself… if all goes to plan.
thanks for looking out for me.
