3. Printing Prices on White Gildan 2000 Series Tshirts – 2012
Example 1:
Lets say that you need 4 white t-shirts (3 large and 1 ladies medium) with your company logo on
the left chest and a large image on the back. You live in Calgary.
Please refer to the price list just above.
This would work out to:
… $21.95 (for the 1st t-shirt + $37.50 (3 x $12.50) = $59.45 plus $13.50 shipping (Canada Post
Expedited) = $72.95 plus GST = $76.50
This works out to an average all inclusive cost of $19.15 per t-shirt.
Example 2:
Now let’s say that instead you decide to order 12 white t-shirts with your printing on the left
chest and large on the back. Again, shipping is to Calgary. You want 5 men’s large, 2, XL and 1
-XXL, 2 ladies medium and 2 youth XS for your kids. Remember now you’ll look at the pricing
for 12 or more shirts. They would be $9.95 each for the regular sizes and $11.95 for the XXL
(see below prices – they are an additional $2.00 each)
This would work out to:
… $109.45 (11 x $9.95) + $11.95 = $121.40 plus $17.50 for shipping = $138.90 plus GST =
$145.85

4. This works out to an average all-inclusive cost of $12.15 per shirt.
Most people generally order between 12 – 150. (For tshirt printing on any colour of t-shirts
where white is required in the image please click here.
The printing process for these custom tshirts uses quality t-shirt transfer paper and a colour
laser printer. The image is then pressed onto the t-shirt using an automated commercial heat
press. This process is similar to the store bought “iron on” transfers, however the difference is
all of the ink is pressed evenly onto the shirt instead of just most of the ink.
All of the materials that we use are the commercial grade which are generally not available to
the public at the retail level.
There have been some new developments in t-shirt transfer papers.
The new t-shirt transfer papers that we use have increase the durability and wash-ability of the
shirt. If you wash the t-shirts according to the instructions you will get numerous washes without
any significant fading. Now these instructions will help your shirts last better no matter who your
t-shirt printer is or was.
Turn your t-shirt inside out. People frequently wash jeans and t-shirts together. When
you turn the shirts inside out, the printing on the t-shirt doesn’t rub against the heavier
fabric of the jeans or the zipper.
Wash in cold water.
Don’t use any bleach, bleach alternatives or fabric softener.
Hang or lay your t-shirt flat to dry.
There is also a new type of t-shirt transfer paper referred to as self weeding. With many t-shirt
papers you can see the coating that was on the transfer paper. This is the polymer that bonds
the ink on the transfer paper to the shirt. The manufactures of the transfer paper instructs that
the unprinted areas of the artwork should be trimmed away to avoid these areas being printed.
If you have ever seen t-shirts printed and you see an ugly grayish box around the image it is
because the t-shirt printer didn’t bother with that step.
We have an example of this on this post. Click to view and then scroll down the page to the grey
image that is titled Polymer Window.
When we make your shirts we always take the time to trim away the areas of the transfer that is
not to be printed.
This new self weeding paper eliminates this issue. Any areas that don’t have ink on the transfer
paper doesn’t leave the polymer. Only the areas where there is ink bonds with the paper. For
example if I was to print the number “O” the inside of the O would look and feel the same as
the area outside the O. All you have is the t-shirt itself with no coating.

5. There are a few of these papers on the market. Some work better than others. The one we use
works great. However it is designed to work for specific types of custom tshirts artwork.

please go to click on this link
Limitations:
There is no white ink in this process.
For example if you wanted to print the Canadian flag on a serene green t-shirt it would
be red and serene green (the t-shirt colour)
This process will absolutely not work on any dark t-shirts. If you would like dark please
refer to any of the other processes.
One other issue with printing onto light colour t-shirts with light ink colours, is that the ink
is somewhat translucent. Printing light blue ink on yellow t-shirts can cause the colour to
appear green (remember in school—blue and yellow make green)
