Our first job ever was 1300 pcs - 700 on black with a six color back and a 2 color front....guess we got initiated quickly and printed it with both my wife and I (in our garage at the time) with the flu and 102 fevers!  Man it sucked!

It's a daily reminder to grind it out towards an auto.  75% of what I've been printing lately has been 5-6 colors a side and 72-144 pieces.  I may only run 2500-3000 pieces a month, but pushing 6 colors still sucks.

Absolutely.  The day I bought my first auto was two years late.  Even when I was a one man shop I would have benefitted immediately.  The speed alone would have allowed me to produce more jobs, quicker and with more consistency... Not to mention physically preserving myself.. And opened up time to sell more jobs.  I'm not a fan of borrowing in general, but the payment on a decent size auto setup is covered in no time.

Largest I've done was 2000 shirts. 1 color sleeve, 1 color back, 3 color front. Printed it in 5 days. Probably around 90+ hours. Did it alone as well. Stacking, folding, printing, the whole shabang. I may have teared up a little upon finishing that one. I'm still printing manually. Gonna take the plunge and run my shop full time come September, hope to be automated by next summer  :-X
