Or tried to but were told no? They all have those little disclaimers about 'intellectual property' and such for legal reasons. My guess is that for easy to spot stuff, like Mickey Mouse or the Batman logo, it would be denied. But for more obscure stuff no idea. These days I am sure there is a service that will take an uploaded image and look for matches on the internet. Who knows if they would actually do it however.

Unless they did an internet search of it using the png/tiff/etc if any search engine actually did that kind of thing with an uploaded image.

My experience has been they don't seem to care as long as it's just for you/low volume and the folks producing it don't have a contract with the entity who's IP you are coopting. Here is an example.

I've also tried to use images on Zazzle, who declined to print them, so I ended up making some holiday calendars myself. I suppose it all depends on the vendor and the design, always worth a try to see if they'll do it though.

Pretty sure most of my customized low volume stuff has come from the US lately, unless it's higher priced or volume doesn't really make sense to get 1 off or few off from over seas. ie: T-Shirts are from the US, critters are from China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are US based patch makers that use copyrighted stuff in their display ads, If they arent simply selling copyrighted stuff they already made. Mickey baseball caps etc. So you never know. As for why they wont print something with XI, the first reason that comes to mind is 'Xi Jinping'. Chairman of the Chinese communist party. And maybe they think its related.
