Vindicare Posted March 3, 2012 I was thinking the other day, why no short sleeve shirts, aka arm prints? I really don't know how the printing process works, other than what was on "Ultimate Factories". Why can't they just take a fleshie arm and put a color print on it to match the torso?

The can, but (I guess) it is expensive to make. That is why it is only found (now) in the CMFs; that are made in China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted March 3, 2012 Something to note is that as of yet TLG can't print the entire surface of a minifigure arm. An example can be seen here on the Lumberjack. The plaid printing on his arms doesn't extend all the way across the shoulder. This would look awkward for a short-sleeved shirt print, like instead of a sleeve a person had part of a sleeve taped to the side of their arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose you gave me the answer I was looking for, they simply can't do it(for now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
