Hi ccchr, sometimes what one screen printing company will expect or "prefer" will differ from the next one.

I always suggest that you start a dialogue with your specific t-shirt printer to ask them what type of file prep they prefer. Some will say "bring me any high resolution or vector graphic that you have", some may want a specific file type, or some may want separations already done.

Printing prices vary based on a few factors. So it's hard to give a ballpark without knowing any of the variables like:

- Quantity that will be printed (the more you order per design, the less the cost per shirt)

- Number of colors in the print (with screen printing, the more colors in the design, the higher the cost per shirt)

- Number of print locations (fewer print locations usually means a lower cost per shirt)

- Garment color to be used (printing on white is usually less expensive that printing on black or dark colors)

- Garment style/brand to be used (if the printer is providing the garments, the costs for brands and styles are higher than the cost of other brands. So Gildan will cost less than an AmericanApparel blank)

- Specialty printing (all over, oversized, foil, and other specialty type prints are usually charged at a premium because of the extra setup time and production costs for the printer)

Change any of those variables and your costs could be anywhere from $4 per shirt (or less to $15 a shirt (or more)

I know of one in the UK http://www.october.co.uk that does great fashion screen printing. There's probably more, but that's the only one I've come across so far.

Right on! I watched it last night is was one of the best "movie" movies I've seen in a while. Worth watching in a theatre for the crowd reactions as well. Action flick swagger at 100,000 million.

I also dug the idea that he was fighting for his daughter instead of "saving the world". Funny that theme doesn't seem to have been used in action flicks before. Worked for me. I've got 3 daughters.

Like I said on twitter:

"Liam Neeson in Taken is like Jason Bourne after he had a shot of Chuck Norris juice with a Bruce Lee chaser"

"Liam Neeson in Taken is like James Bond hopped up on ninjaphetamines"

"Liam Neeson in Taken is the Thuggish Ruggish bone."

"Liam Neeson in Taken is like Jules Winfields Bad Mother F... wallet,16.9 oz redbull, a shot of Petron, & Las Vegas blended in a BA smoothie."

So far I've been using the "web clips" feature of gmail for reading RSS feeds. It's like getting only the text ads that you want (at least most of the time)

I can't believe I've never seen rumplo before. And I called myself a t-shirt junkie. Very nice layout.
