    Beanie hats

    Embroidery is the best option. You could press vinyl on a blank patch then sew it on the beanie, but it would be very labor intensive.

    Cheap Light Table

    Good to see some quality recycling. Looks great! Have you considered adding some thin paper to the underside of the glass to dim the light a bit? Would make it a bit easier on the eyes... Either way, good idea and great job..

    Printers for Shirt Press

    I got the Epson R1800 13x19. If you don't invest in the bulk ink system you can't afford to use it. Bad thing about the Epson is it doesn't have a PS driver, so you got to buy a RIP to make halftones for screen printing.
  10. I never wash shirts first.. Like Midwaste said red is the worst for doing that...
  11. Was it still discolored when it cooled down? When I run tees through my screen printing dryer they change color a bit where the heat was applied and go back to normal when they cool off. If your shirt turned yellowish brown your press is burning them....

    CMYK Spot Colors Help

    Yeah, I was just kidding around...Call the ink manufacturer you use and they should be able to supply you with a mixxing guide.

    Fill a small container with white. Add a dab of red. Stir. Keep adding to get the desired color of pink...It ain't rocket science....

    Propsal for screenprinted t-shirts

    Have you thought about what you will do when you have a late sign up. They are going to want a shirt to match the rest of the team. This is a big enough pain when you do the work in house, but if you outsource the work chances are they will refuse. Just giving you my experience of dealing with ballteams.....

    Propsal for screenprinted t-shirts

    Midwaste is right...you take this job, you asking for trouble... I would avoid this order like the plague... This order has the stench of YMCA all over it....lol

    Anybody been to a DAX show?

    Never been to the KC show. Heard from the Barudan dealer it is a smaller show. If your close I would stop by and check it out. 4 1/2 hr drive for me. One of these years I'm going to the vegas show. Lots of other stuff to do while your there, and its a good tax deduction.

    Price list?

    I screen print, and there are to many factors involved to have a set price, unless its a single color print. Get all the details of every order. Then bid it.

    Where do you buy blank shirts?

    I have used Broder, Staton, Virgina Tees, S&S, etc.. The list goes on and on... Broders website sucks, and thats how I like to order.... Virgina tees is a three day ship to me, so there out....Staton has a great site and great resources like custom flyers you can send to your customers, but they break it off in your you know what with shipping. S&S has been the best with few problems..One day ship..They tend to bargain on large orders of 500 pieces or more, but you got to talk to the right person....Customer service are robots that have no authority to do anything but take orders and bill you. I tend to send flyers from Staton and order from S&S. Hope this helps...
