RetroDuck.com to Provide First Ever DIY Internet T-Shirt Service
Wednesday 20th of December 2006 03:42:13 PM
A T-shirt company has launched a design tool onto the internet for its customers to be able to design their own printed T-shirts. The company RetroDuck.com is the first Michigan print shop to make this sort of service available to their customers. You can use the service anywhere such as at home, school or work. This could spark many more firms into adding this sort of tool onto their own sites.
Retroduck.com have been trading online and from a small retail store in East Lansing, across the street from Michigan State University since 2003. They launched the design software on Thanksgiving Day and have received good feedback from their customers. Retroduck have said "It is really neat to see customers drafting their own t-shirt design using all of the clip art and text fonts that we have available. In the past, we have offered the same creative resources, but had no good way to demonstrate them to potential customers."
They offer a wide variety of clip art and fonts on the t-shirt design software for customers to use when designing their own printed T-shirts. You can rearrange the colors, images and fonts however you wish, to create the perfect t-shirt. These can make great, personalized gifts for Christmas and birthdays. The only limitation that customers have discovered with the software is their own artistic talent. Once a t-shirt has been created online, the software sends the images to Retroduck.com's staff as a print ready to be produced.
If you don't feel comfortable with your own designs then you can give a rough idea of what you require to Retroduck.com and send it to the companies own professional designers who will replicate what you want. There is no charge for using the web based design software and you can find it at www.OwnShirts.com.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
