Have an order for 75-100 shirts. One color with full logo on back and a small logo on front left chest. He is supplying the shirts. What would your cost be?

small ribs. I use siser easy weed for most stuff.

Its soft and flexible just like other vinyls. A little tougher to weed though because its more rubbery.

i just did a design for a church kids camp and used a chrome color on it....it looks sweet....
Im using Decofilm. It requires 310-330 degrees F for 10-15 seconds...cold peel. It makes a good looking design. All my customers love it.

i press about 4 seconds longer and have the heat around 15 degrees higher. I also use slightly higher pressure. I gave some shirts to some of the teenagers that i see wearing the shirts regularly (1-2 times a week) and I check the shirts out ever so often and the vinyl looks new, the t-shirts are wearing out though.

i have an order for 155 shirts that im doing in vinyl. the design is simple and easy to weed...i'll have 3 hours work time in it when Im done and will make more than $500 bucks on it. it just depends on how easy it all is to weed...i design all my stuff with weeding in mind

hey tlzimmerman...i think you get the idea but if you cant figure out how to edit it so the entire thing is solid, maybe you could post your file and someone will help you edit it.
I know how....I was trying to explain to kwelp, the original poster, what he needed to do. Thanks tho!
oops..sorry...my post was meant for him, not you...my bad

If you are just starting out and have limited funds, get the press from ebay...or get a sunie. I bought a 16x24 press on ebay for less than 300 total for the press and shipping. Have had it for 8 months and it works fine. The temperature is dead on over the entire platen and my work turns out great. The sunie was out of stock when I wanted the 16x24 so I went with the ebay one. I say run the chinese press until it dies, and by then you will have made enough to buy any heat press you want.

I did a ribbed tank and it turned out fine. I just set my press to a more firm pressure. It worked and has lasted a couple months so far. However, I did warn the customer that i cant guarantee the work because of the type of shirt, she wanted it anyways...

White, Black, Grey, Red, Blue
I really only keep enough in stock for smaller orders (12 or less). I order my shirts and get them in 2 days. When I order I just get 1 or 2 more shirts of each size and factor those shirts into the cost of the job. You'll end up not using most of those extras and can add them to your inventory, but they will already have been paid for by other jobs you did so any other jobs you do with those extra shirts is pure goodness. Im doing an order for 155 shirts now and ordered somewhere around 180 shirts for it.

Heres mine...its a 9x10 room and is very cramped. Heat press is in the garage for two reasons...no room in the office, and it throws the breaker if used in this room. I've just got two embroidery machines that get the job done, my anajet dtg printer that is new and i plan on getting it up and running soon, some t-shirt vinyl and sign vinyl, and the refine mh721 (best 275 dollars i ever spent on ebay)......oh, cant forget to mention the 26" sanyo for design work.

thats not a bad idea..i'll be redoing half of the first truck anyways...but, he still want his colors...and i would still like to have something with all of the 3m vinyl colors on it for future reference....anyone??
-
I have a customer with VERY specific needs. He has two trucks that were lettered at separate times. He likes the first truck and wants me to remove all the vinyl off of the second truck and match the colors & lettering EXACTLY to the first. I have the pantone colors for the vinyl but cant find a distributor that allows you to pick such specific colors. Its an important client that will bring more work in for me so i need to get it all right. Any help is appreciated.

in Business Practices, Sales and Pricing, etc.

so you would charge them 6.50 even with them supplying the shirt?
