Screen Prining FAQs
This question is very similar to “How much is a car?”
The main factors that affect price are:
- Quantity: How many shirts to do you need? The higher the quantity, the lower the price per shirt. 100 shirts can cost as little as $8 each.
- Number of colors in the design: The more colors that need to be in the design bring the price up significantly. If price is something you want to keep low, it’s recommended that you use a one color design. You can always pick different colors of the shirt which should not affect the price.
- What style of shirt do you want? Softstyle tshirts that are a cotton/polyester blend are a favorite. A heavy cotton shirt may cost about .50 less, but some people really don’t like them. It’s a good idea to check with people in your group to find out what style of tshirt they like before placing an order.
If you only need one tshirt screen printed, you are going to have a hard time finding someone to make it. This is due to how much work goes into setting up the screen, equipment and cleanup.
Heat transfer vinyl is a recommended option for 1-10 tshirts. I have many colors to choose from! HTV comes on a roll and is fed thru a cutting machine, weeded out and heat press to the shirt of your choice.
For large quantity orders, I often screen print on transfer sheets. I am able to save the design on the transfer sheet for a later time. This works great for small businesses that only need 20 shirts at a time and size are different with each order. I can store 50 sheets and make the shirts on demand without having to invest the setup and cleanup of regular screen printing. This saves time for me and money for the customer!
HTV – heat transfer vinyl are great for one color designs – like logos and sayings.
For full color images/photos you may want on a light colored garmet, sublimation is recommend.
Example of HTV (two color design)
Sublimation is similar to screen printing as you can add a design to shirt –
However here are some key requirements:
- the shirt has to have a polyester base – either 70% polyester, or polyester vinyl (HTV) base
- the ink in the design has to be sublimation ink, from a sublimation printer, transferred with sublimation paper
Sublimation is permanent, has little fading (especially with 100% polyester) and the design cannot be felt on the garment.
Sublimation Example:
For bulk orders, standard turn around time is about two weeks. It can take up to two weeks for a bulk order of tshirts to ship in.
Turnaround time can be as little as one business day, depending on the size and complexity of the order. Melissa Doyle Designs is an at-home business located on the southwest side of Sioux Falls, allowing for fast production, easy local pickup, and personalized service.
