Decided to try and work on getting things on Cafepress. Why is it that some things look so easy to do? I had already set up an account. Just needed to get some product in it. So I chose a mug. I thought I would have that available for my fish images.
Took time last night to set up images on the template they provide. Got the basic template set up with my name and info on one side so all I had to do was change the artwork on the front side. Saved it as a PNG file as that is what was recommended by Cafepress and put them all in a "mug" folder on my computer.
Well, by the time I figured out how to upload and choose I product, I realized that I could only have image per product in the free shop. A premium shop which would allow multiple images per product would run about $5-$7 per month depending upon length of commitment. I may give that a try.
So then I was looking at what I did manage to upload into the shop. I clicked on a larger image view and there is a little note saying you get exactly what you see. What I saw was some blurriness. I set it up the way and DPI they had recommended. Now I have to go back and figure out what I did wrong. Arrgghh.

I ran into the same problem on CafePress- I just chose the items I felt the image looked best on. Different items, different images. I do have two stores though- one with art stuff and one with dog stuff, and each has a link to the other store. I use Paintshop Pro for the images.

I'm still my best customer though.

Going to give Zazzle a try first. Too many images that I want to make available.
