Order extra blanks?
squeegee:
Generally no, but for PITA customers sometimes, the kind that has to have every shirt. Or, sometimes for difficult or multi location jobs where setting up twice, if necessary, sucks.
GraphicDisorder:
We generally do 1 extra per size/per color and keep them on the shelf. Once we get a stock of them we stop doing the extras. We used to make a lot more mistakes on the manual. Generally speaking on the Auto is misprint is really rare.

The spot gun saves my ass 9 times out of 10 but there is that crappy gildan with a hole or stain. Explaining why an order is short sucks.

Which brings up another question... do you guys actually make customers stick to your "spoilage" statements. I mean, I guess they re good to have as a fall back option if you CAN'T fix it. But how does that really work? If I order 100 shirts, I want 100 shirts. Lots of times the reason they are a PITA is because those shirts are all accounted for and if you don't get 100 shirts then someone isn't getting a shirt. Now who is the bad guy?
Problem with that is if I'm the customer and I had to short someone because the printer made a mistake I'd likely look for another printer... maybe that's ignorance as a customer but it's reality as a vendor of how customers think/react.

My last order had a PC54 with a hole through and through the shirt... I luckily had some red Gildans and could swap it out. I printed my personal sample on that shirt since the hole was below the print.
