I have my first order for outside work. A co-worker wants five different color ladies tank tops with a print on the front. He is leaving the creativity to me. Yikes!! :) It is basically three words and I get to choose the design and colors. I got home last night after work and whipped out a rough draft in less then an hour. It looks good so far. He wants them done for Labor Day Weekend which gives me enough time.
I have no clue how to price outside orders. I had a price in my head of what I would charge so I decided to call around to screen printers in my area and get a quote from them. Wow, I was low balling it. One place only does digital, direct to garment printing. Each tank top would cost me $20. A 3-color print at another screen printer would have cost me $80 for the five tank tops. ($45 of that was the screen set up fee...$15 per color). The last place I called can not do anything less then 72 shirts because of their automatic press. I think the price I have in mind is reasonable. I still have to check on the price of the tank top. This is very exciting!
I am still working on my second Pondering Pooch shirt for the auction this Saturday. I am having a difficult time getting the angle of my dog correct. (Still learning how to draw!) Wow, so much to learn!!
