[penguicon-general] A news blurb about the t-shirts.

[Rob Landley]

Another news blurb, for the website.

Title: Print-on-demand comes to Penguicon's T-shirts.

This year Penguicon's t-shirt vendor is using print-on-demand technology, 
creating each t-shirts as it's ordered.  This has some interesting 
ramifications; if you bring a computer graphic to the con, he can put it on a 
t-shirt while you wait.  I'll let the vendor to explain for himself...

We’re called MystPrint and are a mobile digital printing company. This year we 
have the honor of printing the Penguicon 5.0 shirts, and will be on hand at 
the convention to print customized styles and designs. Even though we 
specialize in t-shirt and garment printing, we have the ability to print on 
just about any surface from wood, metal, plastic and ceramic with some size 
restrictions. Currently we can print on items up to 4 inches in height, 15 
inches wide (with a 17 inch width limit to fit on the machine), and 20 inches 
in length (print area only, no physical item length limitation).

Your artwork must be supplied in one of these formats: .jpg .gif .eps
.raw .tif .psp .ai .png I also will have a scanner on hand for those artists 
who are less technologically inclined.  Any specific fonts you wish to have 
printed on an item must be supplied with your artwork. I have a lot of fonts, 
but I can't guarantee I will have yours.  I can accept all of these on CD, 
DVD, USB Drive, CF, SD, SM, MS, MMC, XD, PRO, and MD. Please note, I do not 
have a 3.5 floppy drive, so I cannot accept any art provided on a floppy.

If you’re not much of an artist, no sweat, I will be offering graphic design 
services for an additional charge based on the design. Simple text designs 
can be done at no additional charge. 

Also for those venders who read your blog... If you are in need of a new 
banner or sign for your booth please let me know. I will have a vinyl plotter 
on hand at the convention with a limited supply of vinyl. This is first come 
first serve as I can never guarantee when I might run out. Colors I currently 
have on hand are Blue, White, Black, Red, Yellow, Sky Blue, and Grey.

If you need any more information please feel free to contact me at 
Derek at mystprint.com and I will be glad to help you out. Thank you so much for 
the help and support, lets make Penguicon 5.0 one they will never forget!

(Note: Penguicon gets a cut of the "Penguicon 5.0" t-shirts, but only because 
that one's our design.  If you have questions about any other t-shirt design, 
ask him directly.)
