Default need help!! - I calculated my plastisol transfer pricing wrong and underbid
Looking for help!! I underbid this job to my cust. I was going to use sreen printed transfers from transfer express. I figured my cost for the transfers wrong. I need to do twenty t's and I quoted $8.00 each finished. Transfers are way to expensive for only 20. Any suggestions? Is it possable to do this logo with vinyl to save me?? The logo is a 3 color chest size.

Thanks for any help!!
Brian

That would only be 2 colors as it looks like the lettering is the backround of the shirt.

Under a worse case scenario, tell the client you underbid the project but are still willing to do it even at a loss, but in the future you won't be able to fulfill the orders for the same price.

I would totally be honest with the client and fulfill the order as promised, sbmedia is right about that. The thing about honesty is it builds trust and long term clients. We learn the greatest lessons from experience I totally think you could probably get someone to cut the vinyl for you at a reasonable price. Do you have a cutter? If not you can always post a thread in the referrals section of the forum and see if there is a member that can do it for a price you can live with
