However if I were to do it, I'd say I needed extras from them, and if they couldn't supply I'd say I could supply the extras for a small fee, then figure out qty X decorating cost + labor.
I suppose your analogy works great for a restaurant business....but it doesn't work well in the garment decorating industry.

Many screen printers allow contract customers to bring in their own garments. I suppose you can call them contract screen printers, but most regular screen printers will print anything you supply to them.

As for the print price, I would charge about $2.25 per shirt for a 1 color print on 1 location (100 pcs).
