That is how I feel doing 37 Sub Tshirts with rear print, Breast print and bottom right front print, hence 3 presses per T and hence 3 opportunities to cock up!

What is your least enjoyed print and why?

Janners.

Glass tumblers - one pre-heat pressing, and then 2 presses to do a full wrap-around print, and then the glass cracks in the last few seconds.

our biggest source of error is the typo,
Top tip, get client to type up and email, then you can just cut-n-paste
we have a simple pricing structure, ie 10 tops, 1 side, or both sides....
usually it is just a few words, but when they want really long dirty nic names, and then an essay or bit of poetry under, and each has to be on the correct sized garment.....
but worse still than what I describe above, is when they want all that, BUT - everyone wants their text in a different F***ing colour !
The more you practice, the better you get!

I'm with you Janners

I do a lot of sample garments which are then forwarded to the screen printers for mass production. Have one here right now that is four different design options across three garments (one design is the same). Each design is 5 heat presses. Customer wanted them yesterday and I still have not started them simply because each time I look at them I find something else to do!

To make matters worse the garments are either American Apparel or Stella McCartney so a screw up will cost me big time!

Agree with all posters on here, especially Logobear.
Yesterday I had my least enjoyable job. One colour front, no problem. But the back was 5 colours , non of them overlapped or touched. No reference of where to lay the colours and each colour had to be pressed seperatly. Plus a busy shop with the phone ringing and the embroidery machines needing attending to every 5 mins. Job was only 3 polos shirts and took around 2 hours to do. I cant say no to the job as it came from a regular customer/advertising agency that brings me in a lot of work. Thank god its finished.

I had a job for Wales most powerful man, at a gym with 4 different sponsers on it, all wanted different logos, so had to press both arms back and front, 40 tshirts took me ages.......

In another life I printed 10000 business cards for a taxi firm and mispelt the word millenium hated redoing that job

"Can you just wrap this design over the shoulder...?"

For me its the multi colour jobs that the customer wants done with vinyl because I have upsold how much more vibrant the colour is then finding out that they want a 6 colour job haha! 50 shirts 6 presses + a 3 colour logo on front & on sleeve all vinyl pressed = 12 presses per shirt haha.
