I will soon try to do a custom t-shirt for my girlfriend. I'll use those iron-on t-shirt papers (8.5 by 11 inches) and a couple of small pictures I will put together. Editing the picture will be done in gimp (ubuntu) but printing will be done via Windows (I don't have a printer at home).
I need some advise on the size of the picture so it prints correctly. I will probably be putting together ~40 pictures with 256 x 256 pixels into one big jpeg (kinda like a mozaic).
I want the size of the big picture on my t-shirt be about the size of the [text + pic] in this t-shirt sample: http://www.museums.org.za/sam/resource/misc/pics/tshirt_03b.jpg (picture found via google, work/home safe, I don't know what "the new south africa" refers to)
Can anyone suggest a size (like 1024x768, 2000x750, etc etc etc) for the final picture so the print quality will be fine and the proportional size of t-shirt to picture will be like the above example?
PS. This is my first ever t-shirt (and the last one I guess). As usual, my google keywords suck, so I couldn't find a tutorial with enough details (to give suggestions on size). A couple of tutorials I found do NOT mention the size issue.
