Default Artwork And Pricing

We have the 782 Brother and are looking for anyone who has some pricing structure or ideas on best way to price.

Also have a question on white underlay. On some of the artwork white underlay seems to outline all the artwork. tying to get it not to print in certain area where it should not show up. especially in areas that are dithered out or opaque. It is not on artwork,but shows on screens any ideas

Don't know what to tell you about pricing but on an Anajet there is a place where you can choke back the underlay. John

We have a Gt-782 and the Viper pretreater. You just need to know.

1. cost of pretreat per shirt which will vary per pretreat method.
2. average ink cost for size of design you are printing.
3. cost of labor to pretreat and print the shirt.
4. cost of garment.
5. cost of over head expenses.

All of the above will vary from shop to shop. Best thing to do is to keep track of pretreat and ink usage and calculate in the rest of your numbers.
That is how we have had to do it and we have been at it for 5 months now. Hope this helps.
