Regarding New ROCC T-shirts

Message From Mark:

It has come to my attention that some printers are experiencing problems with the batch lot of black ink that was used on the shirts I printed for the club.

We vigorously washed the shirt Louise had and it did suffer some loss of detail. The problems seem to occur where the black is over printed, as with the yellow in our design.

I would like to take the shirts back and attempt to "recure" the shirts and wash them to determine if the prints will hold. Otherwise, I will replace them. As for shirts already distributed, they will be replaced in cases where the customer has experienced damage from laundering.

Based on this, we will not have the new T-Shirts this weekend, sorry. Let us know if you have problems with yours, we'll get it replaced.

Mark.
