Determining Factors of Screen Print Price
Quantity. We are a production shop; we base our costs on production time. If you need a few shirts or 1000 shirts, it takes the same time to set the job up. Therefore larger quantities will always have a lower "per shirt" price than smaller quantities.
Garment. Basic t-shirts of course are least expensive, prices increase when you add pockets, long sleeves or choose a heavier weight of cotton like a Beefy-T. Ringer T's, 3/4 sleeve, and fleece are always more expensive.
Garment Color. White is the least expensive in any garment. This can affect price when you get into larger quantities. Athletic Heather (Oxford), and Ash are a little more expensive, with all other colors being the most expensive.
Print Location Verses Price
A small left-chest design, cost just as much as a full-chest design.
Number of Printed Colors
2 colors are more expensive than 1, and 3 colors are more expensive then 2 obviously.
Printing on Dark Garments
Printing on dark garments can be problematic. The dye in the shirt migrates into the ink causing a dull dark print. Printing white ink on red shirts can be very displeasing if the red from the shirts turns the ink pink. When you want bright colors on Black or dark garments, a process called underbasing and flashing needs to be done. To get royal blue to look like royal blue on a black shirt, you first need to lay down a layer of white, flash cure it (gelling the white ink) and laying the Royal Blue on top of the white. This, of course, can lead to additional cost.
