Small Runs - Screen Print vs Cad Cut Heat Seal

[Frog]

For those of you who take on small jobs, and offer both services, and assuming that a design is conducive to both methods, and quite simple to cut and weed, at what number do you make a screen and print, or cut, weed, and press?

Every order is different but I usually find screen printing for 10+ to easier/faster.

after about 6 pieces of cutting and weeding, printing makes more sense to me...

also depends on the amount of weeding needed. 

I usually forget the vinyl cutter is even here until we run out of pre-cut numbers.

I'm going to cut and weed for one shirt today. The end user orders a ton from us, and a friend of his passed away before his son was born, so we're making a memorial shirt, a onesie for the baby. That will be a freebie of course. We don't have to make money on everything...

I hate stuff like that.  Then again I cry at supermarket commercials.  Those that live outside of any area that runs Publix ads are lucky.
