Nevermind. I just found the answer in another thread. Sorry, I should have tried a few different ways of wording the search.
Would everyone agree that 13x17 is the norm?

Average size of an image
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and screen printing.
I'm just setting up a new business and an looking for a printer for pinting positives.
What is the average size of a T-Shirt image? Would a 13" width be enough (like the Epson R1800) or should I get at least a 17"?
I was also thinking of just tiling the 8.5x11 sheets that I can print now, but that sounds like a pain to get to work without it showing seams.
Thanks

hmmm, i personally don't consider anything to be a "norm" -because i like to look at each shirt (or design for that matter) as an individual.
what works for one design, won't necessarily work for another, ya dig?
but what i DO use as a standization is the rule of 4 or 5. for most shirts (s-l), i'll start the image 4 fingers down from the bottom of the collar- for bigger shirts, i use 5. you may use 3 and 4 depending on how huge your hand is!
