Aight boys,

So I have client with a sweet 2 color design that they want on a white shirt. The color are black and red.

My issue is that they want a cheaper price. I'm considering either reducing my profit margin since it could be a big client, or simply not flashing being that the colors don't touch.

I would like to hear from past experiences of printers who have been in this situation before.

Let me know, thanks!!

if the colors dont touch, i dont flash.

sometimes even when they do touch, if it's a good butt register i dont flash.

i prefer to butt register and no flash, vs over print and flash.



depending on the colors being used, i'll adjust print order to compensate for a color that maybe likes to stick to the next screen. ie: white...

yesterday i did 100 white and red on blue shirts..

i know my white sticks a little. rather than using a curable reducer, i simply printed the red screen first, followed by the white screen.

no flash.

Agree with Jay, no need to flash colors that aren't touching.

Not that your cost should vary even if you did have to flash. It adds what, 4 seconds per shirt?

i dont charge for flashing.

i actually have never met another printer that does..

Naptime: Unfortunately my printer charges me for flashing, this is a cost i have to pass down to my client. I appreciate the input that if the colors are not touching we do not have to flash. It's good to know from another printers perspective that I don't need to do that.

Thanks again!

you should not charge extra for a flash. I never have.

it is also based on how skilled the printer is. I also see that you contract your orders out. The printer might be charging you for the flash because of that
