These threads should help:

They need to sell themselves to you first and foremost. If the printer isn't eager for your business don't work with them.

After that ask them questions that pertain to the types of print you are looking for ( discharge, water base, etc)

Also, local printers sometimes are not the best for fashion styling.

Wayne,

Tell them about your brand and show them your designs. Discuss details about the blank shirts you like and they should be able to suggest different types of blank brands as well as different printing techniques to enhance your designs.

Good luck with your new brand!
