Many of you may have noticed that the SP.com Online Shop is closing up on eBay (everything is currently on sale except for the CheeseVention DVDs which support the CV fund are seperate). I will continue to list items for auction and such from time to time, but the reality of things is that my assortment of stuff for sale has been depleted to the point where there's just not that much left.

So we're switching gears to a different venture. The new Online Shop will be part of Printfection, and deliver professional quality merch. I just recently spent about $100 testing some of the designs and they arrived yesterday. There were a few minor issues which I've corrected (PNG files and gradients don't always translate well to a final printed product), but overall I was very pleased with the products. I'm not 100% on the way they produce the clothing, but they look and feel as though they were made with a professional screen-printing process (especially on the dark colors). We chose Printfection over CafePress because of quality, available print size, and color choices. They don't have the range of product types but I was far more impressed with the quality Printfection had to offer.

I also tested some of the drinkware products and they look amazing - when you preview them, the images appear distorted. Having a frosted mug in hand, I can tell you that the distortion is just from the "warping" application they use to generate the preview. The final products look just as you'd expect them to without any distortion whatsoever.

Now, I didn't get a chance to buy every design and product type, so I only know about the ones that I purchased, but I thought it was nice. That being said, I do feel comfortable showing off the new store as a "beta test" to the fans.

Printfection offers a 100% 30-day money back guarentee, so if a design isn't printing right or there's any other issues, you can return any item. Please do let us know if you run into any issues so we can correct it if it's related to the design!

Haha I love the 'evil rat' shirt. If that was available without the gradient, I'd be all over it...;) ;) ;)

So I guess my art isn't good enough for you huh? And here I was about to compliment you on the Jasper avatar....

Ha ha, actually that's one of the designs I haven't bought yet (but am going to do so this morning). I'm hoping that the gradient on there won't have issues since it's fully contained within the object shape (the troubles I had were with the searchlights that faded into transparency), but I suppose this "rat" one could still have issues. I actually made a yellow version as well but decided not to upload it at the last minute LOL ... and yes one that's "gradient free" could be added too - might have to be, I'll know when I get my shirt! I know the mousepad one is fine since it's a JPG with the included black background.

Haha, sorry, sorry! I just think it'd look totally awesome in a solid one-color print...nice and bold.
You'll have to keep us updated on how the shirt comes out though! Can't wait to see.

Thanks for the support Jacob - it is always appreciated!

This store should be "fully" opened by this weekend. I've about got the ebay store cleared out and I got my last shipment of new printfection merch and all seems good with the tweaked designs. I have a few new designs to add though!

I'll probably keep the 10th Anniversary stuff up for the first few months of 2010, just because I ended up dragging my feet getting this all transitioned over. Had hoped to have this all wrapped up last month, but life gets in the way sometimes. LOL

Way cool man...

..and JUST IN TIME for the Holidays! Woo! :D

I still think you need to invest in getting that 'Rad Rat' image airbrushed onto the hood of your car.
