Default New to screen printing - have a few questions about the cost of sending out to a service

Hello,

I'm helping to create a t-shirt for a class of about 30 or so people (the cost would be split between us all). I'm not very familiar with how screen printing works but I have a few questions:

1. We were thinking about including an ASCII art image - something like this: ASCII Art Generator screen shot

Will it cost alot to include so many different colors? Will it cost alot because the image is so complex?

We were shooting for $10-15 per person, maybe a little bit more.

2. Do I have to have the design completely made beforehand, or will the people at the screen printing shop help me to figure out what I want to do? I'm asking because all I really have is Paint and it doesn't exactly work wonders in the art department.

Thanks for any help

Hi J.D.

Welcome to the TSF!

Your image criteria, unit volume, and budget perfectly fits DTS (Digital-to-shirt) garment printing.

Several of our customers have this complementary decoration method alongside their screen printing and embroidery capabilities.

They can also direct you in the type of art file needed, or offer direct art services.

E-mail me if you'd like a referral, or go to the section of this forum that specializes in "direct-to-garment" inkjet printing.

Happy trails!
