Re: Re: [LUNI] OT t-shirts where to?

I am wearing a shirt right now we printed up for our high school AP
Comparative Gov. class senior year. Everywhere we looked was expensive and
had long turn around times. In an old phone book, we found a woman that does
it out of her garage. It was cheap, fast turn around and she upgraded our
shirts to Hanes "Lofteez" (the nice kind) for free. I don't think she's in
the phone book anymore, but if you are interested, I can find out her
information.

I went to high school in the Buffalo Grove/Vernon Hills/Lincolnshire area,
so we looked for printers around here. The city probably has better
selection. The woman who printed for us lives in Mount Propsect, I
believe -- right next to Paulwaukee airport.

| In this economy, people should want your business.
| On Wednesday, I too will need to look for a small
| run of tee shirts.  I haven't decided between one
| color printing and two color printing.  Generally,
| the more screens the more expensive it is.
|
| I used to silkscreen my own shirts from scratch,
| either using an exacto blade to cut out the film
| or by using a darkroom and high-contrast lithography
| to turn artwork or photos into film.  Either way,
| then you melt the film into the fabric that you've
| stretched over a wooden frame (cheap to make).
| Then you just need a squeegee and inks and
| what you want to get the images on.  I'd do it
| myself if I had time, but I haven't had time in
| years...
|
| Please let me know what you find and I will do the same.
| I want good quality shirts.  I have only a small batch.
