I made a teeshirt design using their design software. It basically consists of text, that I created with their web app. However I can not for the life of me figure out how to move this design into my cafepress store, so that I can start selling it. The store seems to only allow you to import a design made as a jpg file. Does anyone know how to do this?
btw, if youre wondering, this is not celica or car related at all. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I did it before, but I didn't go through with it all the way, because I wasn't sure how much they are going to keep and how much I am going to get per shirt. Is this stuff legit?

Its legit. They just charge a flat fee for the shirt, and you make the design and you pick how much markup you want.

So you want to find out how to transfer your design to the shirt on there? -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

They have a little app that lets you make shirts. Once you make it, you can buy it for yourself.
However oddly enough, if you want to sell one in your own store at a markup, they make you upload the design as a jpg that you made with your own tools, and wont let you just use what you designed with their tools. Unless Im missing a really obvious way of doing this. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Instead, it is only allowing something to be uploaded from your own tools? Am I stating that correctly? -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

I'm not quite sure whats the problem, never used that before but I may check it out now because I have hilarious designs to be used for a shirt that I'm just WAITING to burn.
However, could it be possible to just convert whatever document you saved into JPEG? If you want I could give you the link to a handy converter, but I am not sure what is preventing you from doing this in the beginning. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

Coomer used them for the 2006 calendar and the tee shirts and hoodies from that era.
I still have a tee, the quality is pretty good. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.
