It's well out of my comfort zone but if you decide to go transfer for the school info try these guys' they did a great job for me on some plastisol trasfers http://www.imagemill.net/index.html

well said A&P

The cost involved is in preparing each screen for 1000 players - that is a lot of screens to be coated, burned cleaned etc that is why each name would run 20.00 by screening them all. Most people screen the school info on the front and do transfer vinyl for the names and Numbers. there are number kits for screening but 1000 changes tracking size and cleaning the screens between is not something most people would do for the price. If you didn't want to do the screen pressing yourself on the school logo get transfers made for under 3.00 in plastisol (same ink as most screen printer use - along with an additive) and add the name and number in vinyl for an additional cost of 2.50 in material plus shirt is FAR mor cost effective than spending 20 setup fee for each name number then add printing cost. You are looking at maybe $5-6 per shirt (Without shirt) as opposed to $25-30 per shirt (without shirt) With the plastisol transfers you can order however many you need and use a heat press to put them on shirt and use the same heat press to do the transfer vinyl. Without shirts you are looking at 5,000-6,000 for customizing the shirts as opposed to 25,000 to 30,000. Not too many schools I can think of can afford that type of expense. That 20,000 buys a lot of needed equipment for the sports

midwaste - at 20.00 that would be 20,000 not ,2000 and you are very reasonable!

with a 1000+ names this is a school with deep pockets if they have screens burned with all names their are number kits not sure if anyone has "name" kits on the other hand if they are lookng to spend 40000 it might be a good time for you to invest in DTG!

I'm guessing just the set up fee on the names would be 35.00 each without the work

Have someone with Autocad convert it for you??? found this free trial that might work for you http://nct.digitalriver.com/fulfill/0096.003

any supplier around here would cost to much to ship so sounds like Glanz is a good option

By the way welcome from Michigan

wow that upped the price quick! new screen for every players name!

That make it more challenging and fun Here is one we did for a contest

Welcome from Michigan :thumbsup:

nice work

Cast vinyl is considered a high performance vinyl because it is also better on curves, glossier and more conformable to un even surfaces. This type of vinyl will also not shrink like calendared vinyl and will fade less over time.

Get imagemill to do the logos in platisol transfers and then cut the name and numbers out of eazyweed for the individual stuff

application tape is a must, xacto knife or even better a rotary cutter also - the xacto makes a great weeding tool besides cutting. A cutting mat to trim on is a good idea

+3 on the Cast Oracal

My guess was too much blade out and not enough pressure - hard to tell without seeing it

agreed - my truck done with oracal cast

No problem - just had these done scaled to my stripes for my fathers truck (along with a couple extra!)

thats ok Mader - Mine weren't quite to spec and I was off as mine was closer to 11 inches wide I like the way thy looked though! 7 dodges in a row now but Not a true dodge guy!

or there is an office glad that his back up wan't found by someone else! glad Mom is ok! give her a hug from us John

Thanks Joe - it works with win 7 64 bit also!
