Default Artwork needed for plastisol transfers

Hi friends a customer sent me this design wants 32 t's done as cheap as possible I think plastisol transfers would be the way to go. This is going to be the first time. What do I need to do to make it happen?

Only a corner of the design is within the PDF file. As mentioned it looks kinda rough. Can you post a simple jpeg of the image?

Just what's there, I am counting at least 7 colors. For just 32, you may want to consider direct-to-garment (dtg).

First Edition is 5.00 - so you have around 8.5 in the shirt after shipping (includes shirt, transfer and shipping). If you get $14 bucks for them then you make $5 a shirt - 150 bucks in an hours woth of work.

You can do DTG - but the price is going to be roughly the same on a dark shirt. If you goto a white shirt then you can go three colors on the plastisol and be at around 7 bucks a shirt with shipping.
