I will say this, I rarely have a customer bring shirts back.
Like I said we move units- fast. We don't have the time to b.s. You can print fast AND good. Trust me, been doin it a while. You ask anybody who has a lot of volume- what's their production rates and expectations, If you can't move- I dont need you. We burn screens in 15sec- with or without halftones.
I go from inkjet to press in less than 30 minutes.
Time is money.

Thank you. That's exactly my point. Your priority is speed, and you'd rather produce large quantities quickly without worrying about lint holes. That's fine and it seems to work for you. My priority is the best quality product. I do not let a shirt go out of my door with a lint hole in the print. I look at every shirt carefully before I pull it off the press. I don't care much about speed. This is my 2nd job that I do for fun, and I don't have to push out 600 shirts a day to make a living. And my customers also know they will get the top quality shirts from me, so they keep coming back. I turn down 3 or 4 jobs a week because I just don't have the time to fill them. I'm to the point now where I am not taking on new customers, and just trying to take care of my existing customers. So we have different situations, and both are great.
But the point I was trying to express is that as you increase your speed, your quality decreases. It's not all about how fast somebody can print. Each person has to find their sweet spot. How many shirts can each of you print, while still being satisfied with the quality of your product. The answer will be different for each of us. But let's not pretend than we can double our production rate without sacrificing quality. For me, my top speed is about 100/hr while maintaining the quality level I require.
