WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FABRICS
is the best choice
If you are going to sell the shirt, go with the 6.1oz cotton, you will notice that people rub their fingers together with the shirt in between to determine value. On a 6.1oz they feel value
The price difference, my cost, is only about 30 cents between the 5.3 oz and 6.1oz shirt. This is the same for all screen printers who buy in volume
A 5.6oz white shirt is more transparent than a 6.1oz shirt, for those who care about the visibility of a bra.
Low quality, shirts are found in malls, not USUALLY at screen printers
T-shirts Sizing Info
- T-shirt sizing is plus or minus 1 inch. What that means is that shirts of the same size can be up to 2 inches different in size in the same brand
- Preshrunk Cotton Shirts and 1 inch bigger in all directions compared to a 50/50 shirt
- Sizing is unisex, womens sizes are available for about 30 cents more,
in fewer color,
and most of my female customers say they tend to run small. - You can fit a fullsize adult print on a child's 6-8 preshunk cotton,
but not a 50/50
-
The most popluar shirt offers the most color, currently that is Gildan 6.1 oz, going to a lighter weight shirt or another brand limits your choices.
- Cotton is a natural product and absorbs dyes differently depending on local conditions where the cotton is grown, so colors vary in an order
- Shirt colors determine price. Neutrals -white and natural cost the least. Heathers -ash and sport grey cost a little more. Colors - cost the most
- Shirt color impacts the time it takes to print and may require additional steps to create a bright print on a dark shirt.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SHIRT COLOR
- Nothing affects the total cost of your shirts more than shirt color.
- Nothing affects what artwork will work, more than shirt color-Visit Art Section
- Typical Shirt costs shipped to me on 6oz Gildan,
Neutrals -$1.80 ea, Heathers $2.40 and Colors $2.60 each. 2xl-4xl run
a little more than $1 additional. Children's shirts tend to cost a little
more than adult shirts, because of lower sales
It is important to put a great design created by a Screen Print Artist,
for free, onto a great shirt if you want it to be one of their favorites
You Can Do This on A Light Color Shirt With Just One Ink Color
So on 50 Natural 6 oz Preshrunk Cotton Gildan Shirt

Shipping
(If you printer can't print dots -your
design will look like the one on the left)
My special allows you to add 3 More Colors and it will only cost you $4.99 each +shipping
