You could use a photo of yourself or the both of you. You can also use the text functionality on your desktop publishing program to write a funny caption or a romantic message.

T-shirt printing works. Hoody printing works. Heck, ball cap printing works! Why haven't you done this in the past? And what are you waiting for to get started today?

First of all, you need to buy a plain t-shirt for yourself. This can be purchased at a highly reasonable price from anywhere that you regularly buy your shirts from. However, these shirts should be either in plain white color or in a solid color which you want to keep as a base for your designed shirt. Before you make your purchase, do read the instructions at the tag of the shirt. Your shirt should be color-friendly, which means that it should be able to provide a good base for the fabric paints that you will use.

There are many local printing shops as well as online stores from where you can get your custom tee printed. The online stores provide plenty of design options to choose from and often offer discounts as well. As for the design of your T shirt, well this can come from a variety of different sources, one of the best being the internet. Think about the colour that you want, will it complement your design? What about the text? You will need to decide on the font, font size and style. The text often becomes an expression of your mood or emotions. Funny T shirts are very much in vogue at the moment with inspiration being drawn from many quarters of life such as movies, music, sports and stereotypes such as Geeks.

Once your design is set, you'll need to decide on the type of custom apparel you want to have done. You can either screen print the shirts (the most popular choice), heat transfer, direct to garment print, or print with special effects like "distressed" printing. This is the "washed out" type of look you get that is presently very popular on custom t shirt printing.

You'll also need to think about the size of the design. What looks good on a piece of paper, might not look good on a T shirt. Can you see what it looks like online before you commit yourself? Can you ring up and ask the cheap T shirt printing company what they recommend?

Half tones and PMS colors: It can be very costly to use high resolution pictures and full tone colors. Budget constraints, often call for the use of halftones. In order to achieve this, the color scale must be toned down to the PMS color percentage.
