Press it, transfer it, or send it out?
Every shop gets jobs that do not fit its equipment: 12 shirts with a six-color back, 48 polos with a left-chest logo, a team order with a name on every jersey. You can run it on something you own, buy transfers and press them, send it to another shop, or talk the customer into a different job.
Tick what your shop runs, describe the job, and every route gets rated with the reasons. There are no prices here. Once you know the route, price it in PrintGrid.
Enter a quantity between 1 and 100,000
Every other route
What would change the answer
To price whichever route you pick, PrintGrid prices all four methods.
These answers come from my own shop floor at Lamb Screen Printing, where the team runs screen printing, buys transfers and sends out embroidery every week, and from research on DTF, DTG and embroidery that I checked against years of working with those methods. Treat every answer as a starting point, not a quote.
