quick question, how far from the collar do you print a six inch tall image on the front  of female district thread tank tops? if i put it at the standard height then the image would be below most ti....breasts

We usually go about 1/2-3/4 of an inch from the seam. Since so many of the scoops have varying lengths it works out ok for us.

The first thing I do with any scoop or V or deep neck like a tank is place the shirt over a shirt with a standard collar and check out the difference, often about three or so inches with a tank.
Then, if the print will fit using only that 3" compensation I go for it. Sometimes, if I run out of real estate at the top, I have to just fake the position to as close to the collar as I can comfortably go.

Frog, $10 says you try the shirt on first.  Place it over another shirt, yeah right.

Whenever I have a shirt with a non standard collar opening, I place it over a standard shirt , flat, on my folding table.
I then easily feel the standard collar below, and measure, either with my fingers or a ruler.

Had to do the same thing the other direction with mock turtlenecks.

When there is doubt, I have also been known to cut out a paper print, have my wife try on a ladies shirt in front of the miror, and tape the paper where it looks good.

Thanks! That is pretty much what I did but I just held it up against me in my shirt. And NO I didnt try it on, there was no way my bug ass was getting into a small women tank. Besides I don't have honkers...;) well man boobs but they don't count.
