Wow, this is a HUGE disappointment! I have been using Spreadshirt exclusively for years now because of how many fantastic printing options there are -- and NONE of those awesome options are referring to digital direct. I rave about Spreadshirt to my friends and colleagues, and I know multiple groups who now use Spreadshirt for the beautiful flex & flock printing, including three that I myself am the one in charge of making shirts for. (Two choirs, the HS debate squad I coach, two adult social groups...) I use the flex printing on virtually every product I create, and nothing, _nothing_ compares to the glitz, neon, and glow in the dark options. They get so much attention! The digital direct printing LITERALLY pales in comparison. The flex printing is what sets Spreadsheet apart. If digital printing is the "future", then I'll stay old fashioned.

If it's an issue of time or cost, I genuinely wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer for my product to arrive, or paying a bit more for it, if it ensured the superior quality that I've been receiving from Spreadshirt for years.

I have labored hours upon hours over getting my dozens of products "just right" on Spreadshirt -- I even taught myself some Adobe tools so that I could perfect them. It's not just disappointing, it's downright sad that Spreadshirt is going this direction. I've created shirts for SO many different gifts, groups, and events... *deep sigh* I guess I'll have to find a new source for all my printing needs. :(
