"Once you got it up! Keep it Up!" - American Flyers

 If anyone can find that T-shirt in the original language from the Movie, let me know. I can't remember if it was in Latin or Greek.

OK  I got the scoop from my t-shirt guys.  We can do digital printing and not have to meet a mnimum order.  We can do screen prining and we need an order of 12 shirts, but we can mix sizes.   Why would you just not go with digital, I asked.  Well, two reasons.  First, you are limited to the colors of shirt and type with digital printing.  For a regular heavyweight Gildan cotton t-shirt, you could only get digital shirts in white, natural, ash, light pink and light blue.  The text colors would hit all of your normals - red, yellow, blue, green etc.  With these shirts, you can have as many colors as you like for $15.00 shirt printed and delivered to one person.  Then we would have to get them to each other. 

If you go the screnprinting route  you have 52 shirt colors to pick from.  Any text color you can dream up.  As long as you can make the minimum, screen printing is cheaper and it gets cheaper the more you order. 

Example - This is an ash (grey shirt) in one text color.

#         Digital          Screen

12       15.16            14.63

24       14.10            8.47

36       14.10            7.42

48       13.01            7.11

60       13.01            6.82

72       11.94            6.42

Additionally, white shirts are cheaper than colored shorts.  Anywhere from $1 at the lower numbers, to $.50 at the upper ones.  Here is the catch, though.  In digital printing, you get as many print colors as you like for the same price.  In screen printing, you get hit hard for multiple colors, especially at the lower volume.  In this case - if you went with three colors - ER in red, PR in blue and the back in black on an ash shirt (just throwing out an example), you would need to order 20 shirts before you would be cheaper on the screen printing ($14.85 vs $15.16).  If we were going to get multiple colors, maybe Marmadaddy would allow us to put the BT logo on it as well. 

I will also say that I find digital printing a little more colorfast and a little more durable, as well as feling "softer".  This is just due to the different process that they use to do this.  This is not to detract from screenprinting, it just is what it is.  I would be surprised if any of the race t-shorts you had ever gotten were digitally printed.  Digital is really nice if you want a 1 of a kind shirt, though.
