Default screen printing Quote sheet or software

Well we don't have huge massive volumes yet for custom shirts but it's getting better.

My problem is we can't afford the $4000 quote software that's available.

Just curious what you use to quote your orders and how you came up with it.

I've been trying to find an excel template with the formulas in it, but no luck.

We want to be consistent every time when we do.

Any thoughts from the experienced?

EstiMate Sign Estimating Software:

Made with the sign industry in mind, but works well with anything really...
You initially input your material costs, what you charge an hour for design and labor and then describe each job when you need to. It will work up an estimate, calculate your profit, allow you to adjust for market competition, etc.

That is awesome software. Thanks for the link. I've got to spend some time customizing it and it might just work great for what we need.

Hi I'm new to this forum and to screen printing. I was wondering if the above mentioned Price Perfect Software comes with any help or instruction file or link, as I can't seem to find anything anywhere. Some of the fields are vague. Can anyone help?

Price Perfect is pretty basic and as far as I know has no support (if you play with it you should be able to figure it out pretty well). Can't really expect a whole lot of support when it's free.

If you need something that is a little more advanced and also comes with full support but still on the less expensive side, try Screen Print Embroidery Promotional Products Software
T-boss has a free trial that you can download to see if it's what you need. This is the program that I use for my business. I've only been using it a short time but I really like it. It's easy to use, set up takes a little time but you'll have that with any program. They have a manual that you can download off the site, online support, phone support and a video tutorial.

There are only a few programs developed for true screen printing quoting. Tquoter and PriceIt are two of the top program. The other I've seen is T-Boss. Have not seen good marks for this one though. If you think T-quoter is overpriced, I cant wait to hear what you say about PriceIt. PriceIt is used by a majority of shops that I talk to. It is probably the highest rated program although we use Tquoter in my shop. As long as we go by the prices shown, we make money.

Try T-works manager, it's not as expensive as the others and should do everything a small shop needs. ($149.00) T-Works Manager - Decorated Apparel Shop Management Software

This looks like the perfect alternative. Do you know if this could be used
on Mac computers? Couldn't find it on the site. Thanks.

Anyone got this software laying around? It's non-existent it seems now.

Not sure, I've never tried it on my mac. I would think the chances are good because it is a runtime app. created with filemaker pro advanced. Download the demo and try it......
