Hi,
Does anyone know where i can get some printed t-shirts made up in Korea or online. I want some Hangul on the front and English text on the back nothing fancy. I have tried a couple of online places but if i try to type in Hangul it all goes pear shaped.
Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Until I get around to making some here in Korea, I use Zazzle.com for online T-shirt sales. There is a trick that I use to make the hangul. I set it up first in Macromedia Flash and then export it as a vector-based file or a high-res bitmap. I then import it into Zazzle's T-shirt tools.

Even with a bitmap, the quality of their shirts is great.

most places accept their designs in photoshop or illustrator. try that. there is a place in Itaewon, near Hangjin station. It will cost bout 30,000 for the screen and then 3,000 for each print after that. best place to get screen prints done in Korea.

Hello, Komtengi!

Can you find out the name or the location?
I have long wanted to print a shirt which says
"�� ."

I'll go through my business card collection and see if I can find the details

an opinion yes.... but the guy that runs it has been doing screen printing for at least 15 years. one of the few left in Seoul that are done by hand.

Do you live in / near Seoul? If so, go to Itaewon. Ask around. A friend of mine had some shirts done with English and a custom drawing on the front, and Korean on the back. Sorry I can't tell you where exactly it was (it was a couple years ago, all I know it was on the same side as Outback), but Itaewon's not that big. You WILL be able to find a shop that'll do it for you.

How about a shirt that says:

Korean women BEWARE!

I possess the English weapon, and I'm not afraid to use it!

Cheers for the help everyone but as i'm not in Seoul it makes things a little tricky.
Zenpickle i tried Zazzle but had no luck with the hangul. Is there any chance you could run through in a little more detail how to submit Hangul characters. I will try and PM you for more information

Here you go, Leek:

1. Look on the overhead menu for �� (V).
Click on that.

2. On the drop-down menu, look for ��ڵ� (D).
Move the cursor down to that.

3. On the second drop-down menu, look for �ѱ��.
Release the cursor on that.
