I just wanted to know if you can get a silk screened shirt for cheap. I'm trying out different printing methods for my site. I did direct to garmet but it faded terribly after on 6 washes. I just did one with heatpress/laser printing and it still looks good. I'm looking for just one silkscreened shirt to see how I feel with it. I only want the t-shirt that I would buy to go on my site.
thanks

The screen printing process is very time intensive, so you probably won't find anyone willing to print 1 shirt unless you put down a big deposit for a future order.

If you just want to see the quality... You could always ask your local printer for a sample shirt... occasionally a shirt gets printed wrong, mispelled artwork, slightly off center, etc. that ends up in the test print barrell....I even have 100 long sleeve tee's that were paid for in advance and the company went out of business and never picked up... I'm sure your Local Printer will have something simular..... Just ask for one of those, wear it, wash it, do whatever it takes for you to be confident in it..... it will be either cheap or free....
silk screening for cheap?
