I use Union Ink...I cannot give you an exact number because the size of the logo is going to make a difference, but you could easily print a few hundred shirts with a quart of ink....

 

It is also important to remember that the size of the logo/print and the mesh count that you are using will definitely effect how much you can print with one quart.

How many can you print with your 4oz bottle? Multiply by 8 for a US quart, 10 for the UK!

 

I am not sure, I have bought 4oz bottles but have only printed a handful of shirts, 5 or 6, and have not ran out of any color yet. Of course I have been testing out different color inks to see how they would do so I have not printed more than 2 shirts with any given color

 

It's really hard to say how much ink can be printed with a quart.

First, the image area and size play a major role. Then there is the ink deposit which is controlled by squeegee hardness, squeegee angle, number of strokes and mesh count. And finally, the ink itself plays a role and no 2 inks are alike in printability, opacity or thickness.

This also makes it very hard to determine actual ink costs per printed shirt. Usually, the ink costs are a few pennies at most.

 

Ok, I have the same question. I bought a quart of plastisol white ink. The order is a hundred shirts (100 pcs). The image size on the front is 12"x12" and on the back 11"x14". The mesh count of the screen is 110. And it's going to be printed on a gildan 50/50 heather gray. Can you experts help me out if my quarter gallon ink will be enough for the order? Thank you.

Joyce,
For the price difference, just buy a gallon.... You will probably use white ink anyway. Typically if you buy 2 quarts and add about 10 dollars to it, you could buy a gallon. Now, if it was seafiam green or an odd color, then I would buy just enough

 

Ya gotta have enough ink on the screen to flood correctly as well. A larger screen needs half qt by itself for luxury handling.
Buy gals of whites, maybe black.
Plastisol lasts.
