Photo Printing on Tees

Hi!
I first came across this a few years back, when it started in a shop nearby my house in Mumbai. For 200/- I could get a white (low quality tee) with a photo ( I provided) printed on it. The quality however was pretty poor.
Times however have improved and there are now a large number of services which provide photo printing on tees, giving a much better picture clarity and quality!
PicSquare: This is a company started in 2005 by two IIT Mumbaites. Along with tees you can get personalized mugs, calenders, cards etc.. They also have a service where in you can upload a photo and they will send the hard copy anywhere in India! Pretty cool service for the Indians who are abroad with families here. And this can be done within 100/-.
The price for a photo tee is abt 400/-.

iTasveer: This endeavour also by Iitians (from delhi this time) started in 2006. They also have a lot of features as photo mugs, photo calenders, mousepads (that sounds cool)... They have this cool function 'doodlepad' using which you can create a product of your choice, without signing up. And the result I got seemed really good and I think I shall try the service out one of these days!
The tees here also cost pretty much the same abt 400/- without shipping charges.

Merasnap: Taken over by snapfish, this site offers similar services however I need to sign in to really figure out the place, which I have'nt done yet. So shall post a review whence I do!

So keep ya'll in good health and donning your fav attire....

Rastaa Tees


Fashion Street - Mumbai.
What do you'll think abt the rasta tees. Costing as low as 50/- I have often got tees that have lasted me abt a year!
Also copies of the latest fashions are found here, like I remember that fad of having your fav band on your tee. This happened when I was in college and backstreet boys and boyzone were the favourites. There was a huge surge of tshirts with their pics on the roadsides.
Almost every other kid in college had one....

Get Green Tees


One of my concerns in life is to be a part of the green revolution! This I try to do in various ways less usage of AC's, using public transport when possible...
Another way is ofcourse sporting eco-friendly tees like the one to the left is from Inkfruit.

I think it would be great and very effective if a lot of us went around sporting such messages and thus reminding people of the threat of nature and thus treading gently on our planet.

Campaign Tees

After US attacked Iraq, the people in US started this campaign against the government where they printed Tshirts with the slogan "We will not be Silent" printed in different languages!
So this is an interesting outcome of all this display of our attitudes through tees!!In fact this campaign was effective and there were many cases where students sporting these tees were stopped and harassed by officials to remove their tees! Just a slogan on a tee offended the people so much!! Talk about paranoia....
You can check out some of the incidents here.
