" What do I need to do to get a shirt ordered with this years meet info on it? I tried to save the file to my comp and then upload to cafepress and it wouldnt let me. "

JASON !
I'm not sure ... Jason has every thing in place ... couldn't he just add the design to his Café express store ?

i just tried it (don't tell my boss)
i downloaded the vector image i wanted
went to cafepress, go to design your own (on the right) and pick t-shirts
change to tank top (or whatever)
click graphics (on right) and click upload image, selected the vector i downloaded, this took several minutes to load (several steps)
change size if required and click finish, then it comes up with the price and you can select size and qty.

if yer ordering white or lt gray make sure you select the graphic with the black "2014" on the top

sorry we could not get this in the store, Laurie is tied up with some stuff till next week and cant work on it :(

So...I'm confused.

Didn't Laurie create Vector formats of the logo's?  .PNG's aren't vectors formats...its just another raster format, same as .jpg, .bmp, .jpeg, etc.

A vector format would be .eps or .svg typically, and is of the type that would allow infinite scaling of the graphics with no loss of detail or resolution.

What am I missing...all I see on the download's are .png's?


*please note, I'm just trying to understand...do we have vector images?  Laurie's logos are great.

i think she made the logo vector (maybe the whole thing) and saved them as PNG files for cafepress.
she was on the phone with them trying to get it figured out, biggest issue was how the handle fill vs ink.

I will create a separate cafepress page for each design. Give me till the end of the day.

I will have Doran set up a page on the main site with links to each.

Ok, everything can be found on this link. This link is already on the CGOAMN.com "buy glastron stuff" page. Maybe we can just add some more pictures.

I can upload as many sections (logos) as we want to the page. If there are other logos you would like to see on merchendise just send me the picture and I will add it.

Maybe we should clean up this thread and only show the cafe press link.

Doran,

CafePress does not use vector images.  They're useful to have in the prep stage, but they prefer a .png because it is suppose to be a lossless raster image.  They use digital direct to garment printing, so they don't need the vector format for their machines.

Yes, you're techie thoughts are right on infinite scaling - which means when the group needs a sign or banner, we can blow up the t-shirt graphic without becoming pixelated or losing image clarity.  The .pdf files I saved have preserved illustrator editing capability, which should allow you to open the file in another vector editing software and edit or scale.  The .ai files are the illustrator files and are certainly vector images, and you should be able to open in other vector software as well.

Yep, I'm thinking banner...actually I'm thinking a yard banner that could be used at the boat shows you guys attend.  Like the Coke one...free standing, add a sandbag to keep it upright...store it up there so it can be used for shows.

Yeah, cafepress didn't allow for vector,.ai or .eps, etc. If you want/need a file for a banner or something else large, could go back to the vector image and create file in appropriate size (or they may want different file type).

Thanks Laurie.  I'll eventually want a Vector file so we can size/resize it to print a banner, sign or something.  Depends on how the post meet budget looks.

Wow...seemed like the coke one was really small until I noticed the gal standing next to the biggest one lol. Assuming she's not 3 feet tall, these are really big!

I thought the same thing.  Again, this is only an idea...
