Ka-Blam T-Shirt prototype
Two weeks ago I placed a test order for a t-shirt prototype with Ka-Blam. This evening, my order arrived. I’ve snapped some photos so you can see the end result:
Specs on the shirt:
Hanes Tagless (Large), 100% cotton
The shirt arrived tightly packed in a plastic bag and cardboard backboard. I haven’t had a chance to iron or wash it yet, so I’m not sure about the shirt’s longevity. The print on the shirt is uniform and consistent in color. It appears to be very high quality, similar to shirts that I’ve seen for sale at large T-shirt vendors.
The shirt cost $21 with shipping. It’s not a bargain if you’re mass producing shirts, but that wasn’t my intent with this order. For one offs, or even for say 5 – 10 shirts, the price seems fair. I’ll report back after this has been through the wash a few times, with photos.
If you have any questions, please hit me up in the comments below.

You’ve got to love robots. Good Show!
Now you have to hire models for a fashion show.
Excellent!

Is that actually screenprinted (or the digital equivilent?). It’s not one of those ‘iron-on transfer’ types, is it?
Will look for your report once you ‘wear and wash’.
