You should look into having it screen printed. 300 shirts about $4.00ea.

uncle john when you say 4.00 each, is that just for the screen, or the screen applied to the shirt


and can this be on white shirts, and also dark shirts, esp black shirts...


thanks uncle john

This would look like crap on a black shirt in my option, but that's the shirt and printing I'm talking about.

looks like crap, now when i do this shirt with transfer paper for dark shirts, i print the shirt, and then i make a small border around the shirt... so the border is the white excessive paper, its makes it look better than not havin the border, cuz then u can see the edges of the paper....


so tell me a lil bit more on what you mean by looks like crap, just i can understand!!!

We are Experts at printing black on black and white on white...Never one return. What I'm saying is the picture is black and white, not white and black.
Hope it helps.John

This could be screen printed on a white shirt with no problem but to put it on a black shirt can't be done and look good. Your trying to transfer and a photo doesn't do well unless its color.

Where we are located (Dallas TX) you could get it printed shirt price included. Gildan 6.1 oz 100% cotton at that price. Its a very competitive market right now.

you could try instead of giving it a white border giving it a black one, might help a bit or a col of some sort so it looks like a frame
