Imagine if you could tie this api into a game, you level up your character and get a t-shirt with all the new equips/stats to show off to your friends...
My wife is big into crossfit and I was thinking of letting people order shirts with their personal score/time.
shipping along wold be 2.60, not to mention the cost of the shirt which is at least 3.00... i would love to use you guys, just not sure you have thought out your pricing
Interesting- we are starting to see more and more APIs that interface with real physical objects. Is this the new advent of APIs? Am i going to be able to purchase a pizza delivery whilst printing a shirt and having my car unlock for the car wash guy all from my phone as I'm heading home. What other real life APIs are there available atm?
An API for general printing (e.g. business cards, letterheads, brochures, posters, etc.) is desperately needed. I can't seem to find any commercial printer that offers an API.
There are a few hurdles like dealing with large files and handling them when out of spec, but its definitely a good idea.
But are the shirts any good? No mention of material or examples of how one might look.

Raymond from Shirts.io here. For anyone interested in seeing our print quality, we can give out $100 in free account credits for you to print some samples. Just send me an email: raymond at shirts dot io. Here's a shirt we just printed: http://i.imgur.com/PHa4hBL.jpg Here's me wearing a shirts.io shirt: http://i.imgur.com/Jcsq2uf.jpg
Hey Raymond, I have a fairly specific question. My interest in T-shirts has become refined in recent years. I only like T-shirts that are super soft. Have you guys tested a niche of super soft T's at all? I might be interested in using the API if I could brand a custom T-shirt site focused first of all on the softness of the T, and if you could guarantee the softness.
American Apparel and Canvas are on the high end of the market. They each offer both ringspun and triblend styles. You're looking at $3 to $4 per shirt over the cost of a basic cotton tee.
If you want a "value" soft tee, you should consider the Gildan Softstyle or Hanes Nano T. You can get these for only $1 to $2 over the cost of a basic tee, and you'll still feel a noticeable difference.
this looks great, i just have one question. How are you able to make a profit by selling 100,000 1 color shirts, plus shipping and handling, and blank for 2.60? shipping along wold be 2.60, not to mention the cost of the shirt which is at least 3.00... i would love to use you guys, just not sure you have thought out your pricing
2. The base price includes free shipping to a single address. If you want to split the shipment to multiple addresses, each additional address costs $3. So if you want to ship each shirt to a different address, just add $3 to the per-shirt price.

1. We print hundreds of thousands of shirts every month, so our cost of goods is much lower. 2. The base price includes free shipping to a single address. If you want to split the shipment to multiple addresses, each additional address costs $3. So if you want to ship each shirt to a different address, just add $3 to the per-shirt price.

It's fine for personal use isn't it?
I think shirts.io has the responsibility here. They'd be reproducing an image unlawfully, for profit.
