GREAT T-SHIRTS 101: GETTING AN ACCURATE QUOTE
FEB 2001

If you are the one with the dubious task of getting screen printed t-shirts for your company or organizations, you have probably realized what a daunting task it can be. There are so many t-shirt styles and colors available, not to mention artwork and ink colors. Never fear! Our 20 years in the screen printing business has taught us a few tips and shortcuts that we think might make your job easier:

GETTING AN ACCURATE PRICE:
It's not as easy as it sounds. If you have been burned by the price shopping trap, you know that if a t-shirt price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Paper-thin fabric, inconsistent dyes, and cracking ink are telltale signs of poor quality, and there's nothing more disheartening than a t-shirt that doesn't live up to expectations. Choose a company (we shamelessly suggest Dux D'Lux) that offers a fair price and has a reputation for quality work from customer service to design to printing. When you call Dux D'Lux for a t-shirt quote, we will ask for several pieces of information:
• T-Shirt Color -- we can show you upteen options
• Quantity
• Number & Placement of ink colors -- our artists can make some economical suggestions
• Artwork Ideas -- if you have them When you receive your pricing, there are no surprises.

Your t-shirt cost, design work, and printing will all be included. The only things we do not include in your initial quote are shipping and tax (if applicable).
