markalark17 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Do any of you know of a good place to get screenprinting done? Preferably in Chicago, or the midwest. Just looking for good quality as far as the actual screenprinting, and t-shirts. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. Is Early Bird relatively inexpensive? basically the same as Night Owls, it's run by Tony and Chris from Shot Baker...tell them I sent you or something.

papermonsters Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 When I was in a band I used Mammoth Printshop, but that was before I heard of Night Owls, they seem legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I got a quote from another company, and they said they'd charge $9 per shirt, plus a $25 screen fee. Is that high, low, or about average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 depends on what kind of shirts you're using, what your design is, and how many places on the shirt you're having something printed. for a black design on a white shirt (or a white design on a black shirt) with only something printed on the chest, it's kind of high. i work at a screenprinting shop and we don't charge that much per shirt. our screen fees are $20, too. but if you're getting a multi-color print done up, or having something on the front AND the back of your shirt, it's not outrageous.

ericheartsu Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 is this for yoru tshirt company that you emailed me about? if it's not forgive me, was someone else. If it is: if so i'd suggest you'd do some research and figure out exactly what type of printing you want, as some places don't waterbased or discharge. They do plastisol printing which is standard, but you might not be happy with what you get if you are looking for a specific way to print it!
