HA! Ha! HA! HA! HA!
Sorry for laughing, but I'm amazed that you don't see the important detail that's staring you in the face. Munky, that company has a manufacturing/producing deal with Disney. Of course their prices are lower. They have a large corporation eating half (or more) of the costs.

: And mass producing them actually costs a bit more than pasting a single color
: design onto a shirt and hitting print on a cheap polyester shirt. You're
: telling me that they use $53 worth of ink on EACH shirt? At that point,
: invest in your own printer.

Okay. It's clear to me that you don't know anything about print production. At least not in terms of fabrics.

1) We are not talking about a single color on a shirt, but 8 or more.
2) There IS NO "hitting print" when it comes to these shirts (ir Redbubble, Threadless, TeePublic, etc). If not already done by the artist, each design must be broken down into separate colors. The less possible, the better. Each color then has to be transfered to a screen. These screens must each be lowered onto the shirt, correctly, one at a time and in order. That screen's paint color is then added to the screen and then carefully pressed into the screen. The screen is then carefully lifted away to avoid movement of tge fabric. Then tge process is repeated for each color. This is all done by hand. Once a screen is used, it can not be used for other designs. A screen also only has a life cycle of 10-15 (give or take) times befire it's completely useless. Then a new screen is made and the process starts over.
3) I never said they used $53 for ink. I stated that with the promo I only get $1.50. With the promo, it would cost you about $36 for the shirt. At this price, both the artist and the company take a lose.
4) You seem to be under the assumption that all one has to do is use their home printer to print out a design and then iron it on. Though that is possible, that is not how high quality designer shirts are made. If so, then everyone would be doing it and there wouldn't be a need for these types of companies. It takes a lot of men/women, time, and resources to create such a print as Nuvango provides.

: A company that gets $53.50 out of a $55 sale? Buddy, YOU'RE getting ripped
: off almost as bad as your customers...

: *shakes head*

*sighs and also shakes head*
Munky, did you not read a word I typed in my posts? I NEVER made that statement. You're twisting my words. At $55 I would stand to make about $9. The company would spend about $34 to make the shirt ( includes paying workers and materials). The rest is profit for Nuvango. And for the service they provide, I'm okay with it. They are doing all of the heavy lifting. I'm just uploading graphics I've already made.

And as stated a number times, primarily in the original post, this is about a PROMO that allows you to pivk up a design for less then $40.
