Screen Printing

-Quantity:
Everything that goes into printing your designs (making the artwork, the screens, printing time, clean up, etc) is split into the cost of each shirt. So the more you order the less your per item cost will be! The above pricing chart is a good way to utilize the quantity price breaks we offer. 
-Colors in Artwork:
The ink in your design is applied to the garment with a silk screen and each color will need its own screen. Making the screens is the longest step in our process; which is why the price goes up the more colors you need. To keep this cost lower try to limit the colors in your final design to be screen printed.
-Type of Garment:
Because we sell the apparel at our cost we try not to discount the garments even in higher quantities, so buying cheaper is the way to go here! There are almost endless choices when it comes to what you can screen print on. In our catalog you’ll find shirts ranging from $2-$50 — if you need any guidance finding something in your price range please don’t hesitate to ask.
-The color of Garment:
Printing on anything that isn’t white or very light will fall under the next level for pricing (example: if you need 100 shirts with 2 colors of ink it will now be under the 3 color price bracket). The reason for this is we have to print a white underlying layer and then your colors on top, using another screen in the process. If you’re wanting to stay cheap stick to white fabric. 
Vector Image
It’s helpful to have your design already in vector format, but many don’t know what that is! To simplify it: a vector design means the design was made in a program like Adobe Illustrator; a program which uses mathematical algorithms to define lines/curves. These algorithms allow the design to scale as large or as small as you like without losing the crisp edges.
