the on-demand garment printing technology for black just isnt there yet. at cafepress, they sell the items, but they are still in the 'beta' stage. if you take some time and read the forums at cafepress about the black tshirts, youll see that what they show on screen and what you receive for a final product are too different things. the colors range is limited, very dull and muddy. the end result for the black shirts are just not good enough quality IMHO at this time. but as they improve, we can always try again.
