40 pcs and they send me this... how many colors can I do this with (Manual)

[Gilligan]

Most of you know my screen limitations but I'm fixing that... got a lot of nice S mesh coming my way!

So the school calls and wants this on their shirt, the students designed it.

This will go on a black shirt (schools colors are black and orange).

What do you guys suggest.

A definite practical suggestion considering the otherwise not insignificant expense of separation services and six set-ups which you don't even charge for.
Unless your school client is different than most others, either the use of transfers, dtg, or an education in practical-for-the-quantity  screen printing designs is in order.

Dan, I think you should move this to the pricing board.

Was this directed towards me?  I charge screen fees... though not as high as I probably should, I do charge them.

I remember past discussions on screen set up charges, with many weighing in and I mistakenly thought that you were one who threw them in. I guess that now I remember that you do charge them, just at below cost (by my figuring)

Nevertheless, six set-ups for 40 pieces requires some major PITA charges.

[Gilligan]

No sweat.  I'm from the camp of "charge them setup" vs rolling them in because people often don't look at setup and only see per piece pricing.  So you will have an apparent "better" pricing than you really do if you deal with those customers.

Who here things they are paying $3.49 for a gallon of gas when they are really paying $3.49 (and 9/10ths) = $3.50?  Granted as far as gas prices it's all relative since EVERYONE does that, so it really doesn't matter.

i would charge a set-up then order the transfers as royce  suggested.
