Hi Rich - if you can be arsed a high res "crest" would be ace, but I'm going to go with the design as it is for now, otherwise the printers will track me down and kill me after all the hassle I've caused them

I managed to do quite a lot with the smaller versions by using the rather good Vector Magic application.

Wow, Nice one Rich

Now that the existing ones are already with the printers, I'll offer this as one as part of the UKB Summer Collection later in the year.

You're a star good man!

Update - job is with the printers, just waiting for them to send me the cost. Then I approve it and it's 5 to 10 working days from there. Sent it to them on Friday so hopefully no long to wait!

Bubba · April 07, 2009, 03:37:03 pm

gaah, printers have done wrong quote - only one print on front!

Have spoken to them and they're preparing the new job. Confusion stems from guy i've been dealing with all along being on holiday this week.

Hopefully this will get fixed and signed off by tomorrow.

This is turning into a nightmare - the printers have shafted me.

I was lead to believe that the main cost of printing was setting up the screens £20 per/colour.

But they've gone and added on a huge print cost per tee (for the colours) meaning that I would actually lose money getting them printed up....which obviously isn't the idea.

I'm going to try to find another print shop and see if they are more realistic.

Really sorry about this, I should have got a final quote before taking people's money but there is a huge difference in what I was originally told and the actual job cost they have come up with.

Worst case scenario is that I would have to change the "crest" logo on the front to a simple "ukb" logo as this is what is putting the cost up so much due to it being a 4 colour design.

Aaaagh! I suck, sorry folks will get this sorted

Bummer, no rush mind, hell I wouldn't mind not getting a t-shirt and that being a donation, haven't made one for a while now.

magpie · April 08, 2009, 04:31:56 pm

Bubba, you don't suck. It's not your fault that it's gone a bit tits up.

Once you know what the final word is on cost / design just let us all know, and we'll go from there.

You're doing a grand job sorting it all out, it must be a total ball ache.

Dolly · April 08, 2009, 05:03:49 pm

Well said Mpie

Don't worry about it mate, we'll get them when we get them

Bubba · April 10, 2009, 04:03:50 pm

Thanks for your encouragement magpie/dolly - I spend half my life in a state of sleep deprivation so am most unorganized.

Anyway, the printers have offered to simplify the "crest" logo as that is what has sent the price sky high.

Also getting a quote from a different Sheffield based print shop.

All is in hand, panic ye not shoppers

bigphil · April 14, 2009, 05:18:12 pm

No problem Bubba. These things happen. If there is a final difference in price for what I ordered then just let me know and I'll sort you out asap.

Bubba · April 14, 2009, 05:21:22 pm

Cheers

I've got a cheaper quote from the printers but i've also found a cheaper all round Sheffield based print-shop so am just waiting for a quote to come back from them. Bank Hol hasn't helped but this shouldn't take much longer.

marty · April 14, 2009, 10:21:54 pm

Happy to wait for mine Bubs, so don't stress.

SA Chris · April 15, 2009, 08:15:28 am

Will be worth it in the end. No rush.

Falling Down · April 15, 2009, 11:08:56 am

Happy to wait as well Bubba. No rush

That's okay for you to say. But as a show of faith in Bubba and in anticipation of a full ukb fashion range, I gave away all my clothes.

So patience is all very well for some, but you're not sitting in the nude, waiting for the postman. I haven't left the house for a fortnight and its a toss-up as to which out of myself and the cat eats the other.

Eat a cat and fashion a loincloth from the skin, then go on foraging missions. Nothing is achieved without struggle.
