I swung by the printshop this week to pick up the spring collection for happy guy clothing. I had never dealt with a screen printer before so Roger, the screen printer, walked me through the process and so I learned a couple of things.
Screen printing price per unit is one thing but the setup costs is another. It depends on how many colors you want to print because each color has it’s own screen. There’s a graphic that is being printed on a black tee but the graphic is black as well. He asked if I still wanted to since you wouldn’t be able to see it and I said I did want it printed because you can still feel it when you are up close.
The measurements of what fits on the screen are also important but I had read some of this before designing so the design fit.
We chose this color way as part of the collection because it’s brighter than our soft launch and it falls in line with spring. The next thing is a photoshoot before we launch.
