sorry i never made any progress on this, but I wanted to let you guys know that after re-abandoning this project, I now plan on re-resuming it. I will let you know when I have made a successful final product, at which point I should have a set price and could begin taking orders.

Look into Jerzees brand shirts. That is what the local sporting goods shops around here uses. One that we most recently purchased from uses the HeavyWeight blend and charges $2.05 for regular sizes and $3-4 for XL sizes. Total costs for shirt + screening is only $4.05 for YS-L and $5-6.00 for XL - 3XL. Of course they are a licensed business and probably get a discount. Another brand that makes T-shirts specifically for screen printing is Gildan. I think they tend to be more though.

progress made
Okay, I just tested my new method of printing and the test was successful! This means I can now advance to the next step. I'm not sure what the next step is yet, but here are some photos to show the progress as of this morning.

In pictures #2 and #3 you can see the cardpaper shims I placed under the screen to create clearance between the bottom of the screen and the fabric, which I read in a book is the solution to the smearing/double printing that happened in my last attempt at printing. This print was great, as you can see. There are some spots that look slightly faded but it still looks good imo. BTW the t-shirt I used for this test was of odd proportions. When I get the print on a normal T-shirt I'll take good pics to show what the size and location of the print will look like on a normal shirt.
I think the next step is to find out the qualities and quantities of T-shirts I should buy. I think I'm going to take a poll to find out about how many shirts of each color and size I should get.
Anyone watch the world cup this morning? I loved the ending.
EDIT: A poll has been added to the thread! I need to get an idea of about how many shirts of each size and color I should buy, so if you think you'll have the desire and money to purchase a shirt after I get them printed, go ahead and vote for what you would likely be buying.Last edited by questionful; 07-10-2010, 03:44 PM.

There's a place nearby me that sells T-shirts, when I go talk to them I'll see if there's extra cost for color variety. If there isn't or if it's low, I can get all sorts of color fabric. The ink is probably a little more expensive but ****, I could probably get more than just two inks too. I just want to keep it kinda on the cheap side.
