Ok, the tshirt design has been chosen, and the graphics have been sent to me. I have already sent the graphics out to a shop and I received an estimate. The estimate I got was $20 for silk screened shirts. That price is based on 50 shirts purchased. Silk screening charges on these alone is $350, that is for making the screens. On top of that we have an art charge of $200, that is for converting the art into vectors. Then you figure in the price of the shirts, shipping from the printers, etc. That's where we get the $20 from. So figure another $5 in for shipping to you, looking at about $25. The one positive note is this guy makes shirts for Old Navy and the Gap, so they are really good quality.

Are you guys happy with that? If not, we can either find another printer (I believe someone on here posted that they could get us a good price), or we can go with something like Cafe Press, where they are heatpressed on. Cafe Press shirts will run about $15 plus shipping.

If we go with the screen printed ones, I will start accepting payment, and when we get to 50 shirts I will place the first order.

Hey Java if you like get the design that you like and pass it on to a transarency and I could have them done cheaper just have to wait a little. My pop would do it for the cost of the shirts, material and shipping only. Call me for more details about it. But no matter what I'm all for the price.
