don't choose silk-screening for their shirt designs, whether it's CafePress or Zazzle. Get screen printing if it's available, or something called "sublimation." Otherwise, they'll use an iron-on method, and that eventually comes off or cracks to little pieces.

Now, there is one place that I think is even better than either CP or Zazzle, and I love the design quality of many products there: Red Bubble

All of the shirts I've gotten from Red Bubble have been of the highest quality, both in fabric and imprinting.
