I just got mine today. I ordered the women's light in blue and I am very disappointed. The logo looks faded and like if I washed it once, it would be done. The names on the back are barely legible. I requested a refund. I assume they they just aren't going to have me return the shirt.
Unfortunately, this design just isn't working well with cafe press's limitations. :-( This was the first time I ordered an Inforoo shirt. Has anyone ordered one that they are happy with? What color and style looks okay?

I took a few pictures of the text on my shirts, thought I'd post one here in case it affect's anybody's decision process or anything.
Extreme closeup of my username on the back of my shirt! As you can see, it's not terribly legible, although you can make out what all the names say if you're familiar with them to begin with. The boyfriend's shirt was exactly the same way with the doubled-looking printing. I could understand more if it was just too small to read, but this is just poorly printed and has nothing to do with the image we used or anything like that. Maybe we should use something other than CafePress in the future.
And the logo on the front of mine is also pretty faded-looking, like others mentioned. Not sure what it'll look like after a washing, I may end up having to touch it up with something.
Yeah I have the same problem with the light blue I ordered...really faint lettering and very small names. If anyone has any better luck with another color etc let me know. I may also try the refund/replacement route as well....
Maybe we should go with the company who did the first Inforoo merch (the one w/the rooster logo) - those seemed to hold up well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it CustomInk? Roofan, Jess or PopsicleSarah - do any of y'all know???
Sorry for the crappy quality guys, we're going to look into taking complete control of the shirt side of things for next year so that we can make sure that the quality is up to par and that no one is disappointed. Hopefully we can keep the process the same but use a better vendor than cafepress.
I bet if you keep the design bigger/bolder, it'll be ok like in the past. I think the small font and the fact that Cafepress didn't allow the lineup design to be enlarged more made it difficult to print well.
I send a message to Cafe Press and they are sending me a replacement with the women's tank. Hopefully it will be better. But like someone else said...they told me I would owe NOTHING for shipping and would NOT have to return the other shirt. So as far as customer service goes Cafe Press is awesome! I just wish they had gotten it a little better the first time around. Will let you know when I get the tank if the quality of printing is any better.....

Yeah, if the design didn't involve such tiny bits of printing, the printing errors wouldn't be as much of a problem. The design we chose didn't cause the problem in any way, it's just that the problem happens to be really noticeable and problematic for this design, but it wouldn't for other designs.
And I do have to give CafePress major props for customer service, like bamabelle said. Seems like they've really been awesome about giving refunds and letting people keep the shirts and everything.
Got my tank today from Cafe Press. It is SLIGHTLY better than the T though still now what I would expect. We need to get this figured out for next year. But since I have TWO shirts that are "eh" for the price of one I will not complain....

ok so i really want a shirt and im not saying there are ugly at all but can we work on one that is a bite more.......more......more colorful? bold? interesting? havent been here long but just a suggestion
There are a TON of great T-shirt printers in North Alabama that I personally know and have used....and are VERY reasonable price wise. so if we are looking into a new printer for next year please let me know and I will provide contact info....
I have used CafePress many times in the past and the issue with these shirts isn't due to CafePress but due to the actual logo and image we chose to use on our shirts. The font used was supposed to look a bit pixelated and both images are just a bit too small. Also if the entire image was color, then it wouldn't be little red letters on white, but it would be an entire silkscreened image which would make it clearer on the back.
I have a shirt, my husband has a shirt. They aren't super legible but they are still awesome. Thanks all for organizing this.

Love having a shirt, but we need to consider printableness with the design as well or another shirt maker. It was a bummer to spend ~$20 on a tank top last year that looked like crap (no offense to the persons that made the design and set up the Inforoo shop, but I wore it once and it is illegible and faded as hell).

This was the only reason I didn't buy a shirt last year. I loved the design! But the reviews of the quality sounded disappointin'.
