I like to know how much of a savings a person can get with:

silkscreen equip
or
dtg

Or is it only s&h that I will be saving.

I have not been impressed with the prices at any show but then I am still confused with do I want to go towards dtg or ss. I am doing heatpress but its getting tired - cutting and crap. Altho I might seriously break down and purchase myself a cutter for under $1,000.

ughhhhhhhhhhh so much to think about. Years later and I am still trying to figure out which route is the best for me.

Not bringing in a lot of money per month for a dtg.

Over the years, I think the average show special is around 10% off and the savings on S&H. If you are going to go with the screen printing equipment, you might want to get quotes on the S&H. Larger equipment can be expensive to ship and crate.

OK, the pins and plastisol transfers are ready to go

If you're going to the ISS Show in Long Beach and you want to wear a cool T-ShirtForums.com commemorative pin on your tradeshow badge, you can now get it here.

If you've got a heat press, you can also get a free plastisol transfer so you can make your own t-shirt to wear to the show.



We have two sizes of transfer, SMALL and LARGE. The small transfer is nice for sleeve, front left chest, small center chest or upper back placement. The large is nice for a center chest or center back placement.



Please get your pin reserved soon so I can ship it in time to make it to you before the show.

If you don't have a heat press, but still would like to wear a T-ShirtForums.com shirt to the show, please let me know and I'm sure one of our members would be happy to press a t-shirt for you.

Rodney, I hate to ask this ... but I am concerned that these might not be delivered in time (Debz is leaving the 17th). Since we print direct-to-garment and dye sub, is it possible that you could make the graphic available for us to directly print on our own garments?

They will be shipping out tomorrow and the transit time should only be 1-2 days to just about any location in CA/NV. They should reach their destinations no later than Jan 15-16.

But for those of you that are DTG'ers who want to make their own T-ShirtForums t-shirts to wear to the show. You can get the high resolution forum logos here:

Rodney...

We don't get mail delivered to the house because we are out in the boonies, only at our PO box in town. I'm going into town on Monday (14th) but not again until the 17th when I'm flying out, so the transfers are not an option for us...

I did order a pin, though. Hopefully it will be at the box by the 17!

Thanks for all those who got their pins orders in so far. We haven't had the baby yet, so I'm not 100% sure if I'll make it to the show.

If I don't make it to the show, I'll make sure the rest of the pins get there so you can pick them up either at the booth or from another forum member.

You can still order pins though and I'll make sure they reach you before you leave. Just be sure to let me know in the order notes what day you're leaving.
