Well, for some reason my post wasn't sent and I got a time out page.  I am not going to retype everything again.

I found this website for selling t-shirts: http://www.spreadshirt.com (http://www.spreadshirt.com)
and they also allow us to sell graphics only, to be used by clients who want to do their t-shirts.

Any information about them?

I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them with my own artwork, but I doubt they sell many graphics.  They haven't been around as long as zazzle and cafe press.  I must say - they are very very good with customer service from a buyer's perspective.

Zazzle sell more, but of the three I prefer Spreadshirt as a seller. CafePress is so oversaturated with crap it is impossible to find something good as a customer.

Spreadshirt have bigger print area, offer flex/flock print for vector graphics, and you can make custom shops to a higher degree.

One of my specialtee shops: http://www.nautee.no/ (http://www.nautee.no/)

I have found that like with non-exclusice microstockers, if you do tees, you do all three PODs - Zazzle, CafePress and Spreadshirt.

Thanks for your replies.  I hadn't seen the flex/floc options in other sites, and I suppose they work well in very specific graphics.  I was a bit shocked by what they said about digital printing - it is really that bad? Is it what Zazzle uses?

I have ordered 3 Zazzle baby shirts and then I will see the quality of their print.

I don't have much at Cafepress because, if I remember, it was not very easy to create stuff there.  I have positive results with Zazzle.

Soo? Any "positive" conclusion, or it is only ironed copy from cheap photocopier on shirt? ;D

All three (Zazzle, CaféPress, Spreadshirt) use the digital direct print technique, which is superior to the digital heat transfers. Spreadshirt (Europe) do some digital heat transfers, which should be avoided.

My orders have not arrived yet. I think they are past the estimated delivery date, and I will write them if so.

Just received 2 t-shirts and 1 flexfit baseball cap from them.
Excellent quality.
