Not necessarily. Most of the print shops I talk to scoff at printing only a few shirts at a time; printing, say, a single shirt can cost upwards of $25. Who's going to pay that for a tee shirt? You'd have to print by the hundreds to sell them at, say, $12 (not including shipping & handling) and still make a profit after taxes.
Still, I'm sure you can probably work out SOME deal with the printing place if you guarentee future orders, or whatnot. But tee-shirts are far from guarenteed; you could end up $600 in the hole with nothing but boxes full of unsold shirts to keep you company.
...Which is exactly why Cafe Press is so popular. And why I think that if we sell a t-shirt, we should do it through Cafe Press. That's what I was trying to say. I agree that the potential market for Stripcreator t-shirts is probably fewer than 100 buyers, and therefore using the traditional t-shirt manufacturing model is probably not a good idea.
