I'm cheaper than n.signia I guess because if someone dropped off their own shirts, 16 of them, and the design was an easy 1color, especially dark ink on light shirts, I would charge $5 or $6 per shirt, depending on the customer, plus $10 to set up each screen. So probably $100 to $116 total.

I know, I took those factors into my price. I'd probably go with $6 a print for such a low amount of shirts.
I think that's a fair price. what is your print charge/ screen charge breakdown?

Default Re: how much to charge???

I charge $15 per screen for orders less than 72 peices, depending on the customer I will waive this fee for orders of 48 or more. $15 is cheaper than my immeadiate competition so I am comfortable with that amount. As for the rest of the pricing, like the rest of us it depends on qty, print locations, colors in design, etc...I find myself about on par with my competition with the small orders, and a little cheaper than them as the qty's increase.
