Printing an image on a shirt...

[SidekickWD]

I have this client who wants an image printed on a shirt. He sent me this drawing he had done at the mall, it was in black and white, cartoonish. I used the Corel program, made a second layer with clone and added color, merged the two in Photoshop and saved that image for the web.

[IMG]http://****yjoe.com/pjcartoon.png[/IMG]There is the final result. Now the problem is the printing company told him that it was too small and it was not the right format . But that's all they told him!

My question is, what advice can I give my client so that he can re-scan this image (or the original if need be and I'll color it again) so that it can be printed? I know absolutely nothing about printing images. I do have access to Ai and Id.

Thanks in advance

Make it a vector, you could try the live trace in Illustrator

I've never used it* before, so it's greek to me...for now anyway. But I'll give it a shot. You can change a png image to a vector? I have it saved as png and psd, if that makes a difference.

it* being the live trace.

Try a jpg then livetrace, but it needs to be quite high res

Well right now I have it saved at 300dpi, but it's very small that way. I need to find a tutorial on how to use live trace before I start though.

Thanks again for your help everyone.
