Oort Shirts: Black To White?

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>]

I'm looking at the design for the back of the shirt -- the field of
X-Faces -- and it's, like, 70% or more white.  That is, most of each
individual X-Face has a white background and a black foreground.  This
means that the back of the shirt is going to be somewhat stiff, as
it'll be drenched with ink.  Or, if I just do a single printing, the
black shirt is going to show through the ink...

A different approach would be to do white t-shirts, and print with
black ink.  That would mean less ink, and when printing
black-on-white, a single printing is enough.

The problems here is that 1) I wanted to do a black t-shirt, and 2)
I'll have to rethink the front of the shirt.  (Well, I could just
invert the galaxy I'm printing there, making it look like a mutant
black hole, or something.  Or think of something else.)

What do y'all think?Gcc: nnfolder+archive:sent.2003w16
