Are you printing yourself or paying someone else to? What method of printing are you wanting to use? What is your price range that you want to spend on each shirt? What is your minimum shirt order if you are using someone else to print? I ask these questions because of the designs. I am not a printer so I pay someone else to print my shirts for me, these are the questions I have learned to ask about my own designs before I send them to my printer. The first one is great: 4 colors (add one for a flash layer since on black shirt) and not too big...you will pay for the second location on the back, may want to keep this to one color. This should not cost you too much to get printed. The next one from what I see is going to be a seven color design in three locations and is quite large on the front. You will most likely have to get this belt printed and it will cost you. This is a cool design but it's going to be an expensive shirt to make! Ame with the third one. many different shades of gray and black and way large! From what I have been told you need to keep designs 2" away from seams as well. This is what I have been told form my screen printers and does not mean that it is true for all. You need to talk to the experts in the printing industry (plenty here on this site) and find out the best way to print the designs if you don't want to change them or the best way to keep the idea but change the designs to be more cost effective to have printed.

thank you for your inputs guys. I am still waiting for my friend to get his press (hopefully soon).. other wise i might have to look into getting some to do it. For starters i am not looking at getting a lot made, maybe 2-3 pieces for each sizes s-xl. if you guys do printings or recommend someone please let me know. Also my budget right now is pretty low.. maybe max of 300? But i am also waiting on my tax return lol.
