ALLIANCE GRAPHICS is located in west Berkeley, in between Gilman Street and University Village. On…read morea few occasions during the past several years, I ordered T-shirts printed with various photographs. Each time I ordered a T-shirt, I asked for a glossy plastic print and a non-glossy ink print. When I get my landscape photos printed on T-shirts, I prefer the glossy plastic print over the non-glossy ink print. For landscape photographs, I prefer the greater color intensities and the greater detail that can be acquired with the glossy plastic print. As you can see, I posed the T-shirts near the front door at Alliance Graphics. I hung each of the T-shirts from the Slik tripod that I use for all of my landscape photography. Attached are photos showing T-shirts printed with the following images: (1) View of The Balconies (a stone mountain having an interesting shape), about a half mile in the distance, as seen from High Peaks Trail. (2) View of volcanic granite towers, located about 20 feet north of High Peaks Trail. (3) View of one of the T-shirts printed with the advertisement for my grandma's hat and bag store. At Alliance Graphics, I ordered about ten T-shirts in all, and they were printed with these images: ( 1 ) Views from top of High Peaks Trail at Pinnacles National Park. This park is located 25 miles south of Hollister. I used a 300 millimeter telephoto lens to capture details of distant volcanic stone formations, during my hikes on High Peaks Trail. In the past several years, I've hiked to the top of Hawkins Peak on five different weekends. ( 2 ) Views of Mesquite Dunes near Stovepipe Wells, at Death Valley National Park. ( 3 ) Reproductions of advertisements for my grandmother's hat and bag store. The ads were originally published in the Camden Courier-Post. My grandma's hat and bag store was located at 403 Broadway in Camden, N.J. Two of the T-shirts with my grandma's advertisement I gave to my little sister for her birthday. Also, I kept two of these T-shirts for myself for wearing in Berkeley and in Alameda, in case other people were interested in my family's heritage. The question of which kind of photographic print (glossy plastic print versus ink print) is better at surviving washing is not relevant to me, because when I wear the T-shirts made at Alliance Graphics, I always wear a plain T-shirt underneath that. An advantage of Alliance Graphics over other T-shirt printing companies, is that you can order a single T-shirt. In contrast, some other companies have a minimum order, for example, a minimum order of twenty T-shirts. Another advantage of Alliance Graphics is that the color balance is always perfect the first time. COLOR BALANCE. I lived in San Diego in the years 2018-2019 and, at that time, had my T-shirts printed at a nearby company, where the color balance was sometimes wrong, and where I needed to pay money to have the shirt done over again with a better color balance. By wrong "color balance" I mean, for example, that the blue color turned out to be more of a magenta, or that the yellow turned out to be too orange. But color balance is never a problem at Alliance Graphics.

I also needed (picture attached) transparency vellum paper print-outs cut to a specific size, and they were able to provide these as well, at a reasonable cost. The project was able to take shape thanks to their kindness and patience, as well as their assistance with small last-minute changes like cropping and trimming the edges of the zines. Thanks so much!
