Unless your the luckiest manual printer in the world that's a big no no.

But for educational purposes, yes, 2 whites and 2 grays. Do not print that without permission.

Asking a stupid question here, so if he is printing this for a customer and they are not selling them for any retail why not print them?  I'm almost willing to bet he is only doing a a few doz 2 to 3, now if this order is for 2 to 5 hundred nope wouldn't do it.  We have turn our share of copy right art away or have drawn a simpler piece of art/clipart. :-X

because printing two and making money from it is just as illegal as printing 200. . .

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Hi All


Thank for your answer, I appreciate

Looking for the permission for print that, yes we have the permission and I have to make sample before.
I'll never print  illegal picture for 200 or 500 t-shirt.

Thank
Michel,

Exactly, and I seriously doubt they are contacting manual printers to print this shirt.

if it's a small event or a small location it is possible. Think a local restaurant that is licensed or a play in a school . . . We've printed Wizard of Oz shirts for a local school's musical for example.

we do a lot of the printing for schools and their plays. every time the school signs up to do that show, they get a packet of info that has the misc show info and logos and other random stuff. it also says that they have the right to print up/market whatever they want with the shows name and logo. in rare cases, we've even received vector artwork for some of the plays. but most of the time, its crap :)
