 Large job advice
I have the opportunity to do a 25000-50000 Tshirt run. 3 colors front and back or process front and back. White T's either cotton or 50/50.
I am in the printing trade and can't pass it up.
1/I have an HP large format and access to another so I can do inkjet transfer at 36" with high ink costs and higher transfer paper costs.
2/ I have one and can buy another Epson 1280 and outfit it with large capacity
Dye Sub Inks and go slower and less costly in materials. or 3/ I have access to a cheap 4 station, six color manual silkscreen machine for which I will have to buy supplies for. I am very handy and a little bit knowledgeable in all areas but have no experience in producing this volume.
Looking for advice in which avenue to pursue. I am competing with a big outfit out of town and think they sub out the transfers and do the heat pressing on about a dozen machines in house. I have little overhead.
What doyou think. Which way seems the most cost effective and practicle?
Thanks. |
