Alternatives for printing/silk-screening

vsp · 06-01-2003, 11:27 PM

I have a substantial collection of hockey jerseys, and have an interest in creating some of my own one-off logo designs. (There are plenty of dealers that sell jersey blanks that will serve nicely.)

Unfortunately, most dealers that can customize jerseys will do so only for runs of ten or more, and may have problems with potentially copywritten images. I have a jersey coming in the mail with a cool Garfield-biting-a-hockey-stick design (for my wife), so SOMEBODY knows how to do this stuff. A simple screen-printed logo will be fine, though if anyone does print-on-twill embroidered crests for less than a dozen jerseys at once, I'd gladly pay extra.

One option that came to mind (for a D-I-Y approach) was to invest in an inkjet printer and transfer iron-on kits, though I'm not sure how permanent those kinds of iron-ons may be. Airbrushing is rather inexact, though it could produce some one-of-a-kind looks; I'd rather have more control over how the end image will look.

Apart from that, I'm not sure where to begin. Anyone know a maverick screen-printer who can handle small orders?
