I'm getting ready for a meeting with a possible new customer tomorrow. They want me to look at printing onto dark t-shirts for them.
We need to discuss numbers but form what I gather it will be 'as and when' and could be 1 or 2 here and there.....you get the picture!
DTG would be ideal but not having one close to hand may not be an option. My second idea is to have the designs made up into screen printed transfer sheets. I've had this done before, some were excellent, some not so good. These could then be put onto any colour type/items as and when required. Does anyone on here supply screen printed transfers? From memory minimum order sizes were quite large but designs could be doubled up etc.
I can't really think of any alternative methods that would produce one offs, I don't feel transfer papers won't really give the quality of image they want, screen printing direct isn't an option unless he decided to keep a small'ish stock in and then we're limited on colours/sizes.
Appreciate any advice. I know it's tricky at this stage because I don't know what price to work to or numbers that will be required :-)
