[Wikipedia-l] Wikipedia merchandise at CafePress

[Jay Bowks]

Hi Daniel,
Erik did a nice job of merchandizing and putting the logo
on the items for sale. I'd suggest that the logo be as big
as possible, none of this little logo on the upper right
corner of the shirt, it looks out of center and too small
to read when you walk up to someone.

I've had excellent results with CafePress with the
Academia pro Interlingua and Volapuk Press stores.
The quality depends a lot on the graphics you send
them. If you send jpeg files with bleeding throughout
you'll get it and magnified when it's imprinted. But a
good quality PNG with sharp contrast will stand out
well and print beautifully, has been my experience.

One more thing the "tile" with the page-being-edited
graphic is a neat idea. I'd like a mousepad with the
same graphic. !!!

Overall Kudos! Nice store!
w/ regards,
Jay B.
