Does that mean 4 new 10 color presses or does that mean 40 pallets of shirts about 40k shirt order?
either way, great!

what kind of error rate to you shoot for/expect on an order that size?  less than 1%?  less than .1% ?? obviously can't be zero in the end, but what would you consider to be a good #?

Not to derail the thread, and it is nowhere near the 70k that Tony landed, but we just ran 9000 prints and only had 7 miss prints. It pains me to say it, but I was responsible for 3 of them! Some example to set for the employees! :(
