T-Shirt printing: options and prices??

[KevinMU1]

What are the different options for getting shirts made, what are their relative qualities, and how much will the price be? We're considering T-Shirts or knit shirts. I'm a complete n00b in this area, so any advice/tips would be great!

Thanks all.

Dunno but I like this one

My second favorite T-shirt was the one from the Nerds movie (I think) that says "Who Pooted?"

Hanes T-Shirt transfers!

Bonus points if you run them through your laser printer.

My post was intended as sarcasm, especially the part about the laser printer.

Unless you like buying new fusers, of course.

Considering I have experience making t-shirts, here is some help.

For T-Shirts I personally recommend either Heat Transfers or Silkscreen.

Heat Transfer is essentially a print out of any design, logo, or picture, and ironed on a t-shirt at 400 Degrees.

Silkscreen is done on almost all commercial T-Shirts that you buy at the store.

If you want a polo shirt, the Only thing that I can recommend is Embroidery.

Silkscreening is very expensive in low quantities... it becomes very cost effective over a large amount of t-shirts.

Heat Transfer is great if you need between 1 and 25 shirts.

Embroidery can be done on lots of items and looks great, but comes expensive if you need a logo. Something like the AnandTech logo will cost about $50 to make into the right format.

if you have any questions just PM me or IM my AIM screen name.
