Leland Webb 56 Posted March 28, 2016 So I created a design for HTV. I have a customer that wants me to cut the design for him, and send it to him so that he can take it elsewhere to have it put on a shirt. What should I do. I think I should be the one making the money for the shirt sale as well as the design. Has anyone else had experience with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark-s 1,126 Posted March 28, 2016 I guess it`s how bad you need money. mark-s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 28, 2016 I would have a hard time with that. Or I would charge him for the profit you would have made from the total sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 28, 2016 did you charge him design time? - - - - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 28, 2016 You say send it to him, is he out of state or something like that? That would be a little more tolerable but I would still charge more. I guess I look at HTV a little differently than adhesive vinyl but I don't know why exactly. Unless he has some sort of connection on the press he's probably going to get gouged on the install.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 28, 2016 maybe I read this wrong too - if it is a design you made and sell to other people then charge the same for the "HTV" transfer as you charge for the shirt done . . . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeeble 64 Posted March 28, 2016 I agree with dakotagrafx. If they dont like that then they can have there "installer" do the design and cut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signyouup 178 Posted March 28, 2016 You sell shirts, so he is asking for a shirt with that design minus the shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,626 Posted March 28, 2016 Judging from the title of the clip I'm guessing the movie is Five Easy Pieces. ha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
