Screen print is the cheapest way to put a big logo on 48 or more shirts. Battle Born Clothing prints in-house with plastisol, water-based and discharge inks and cures on a conveyor dryer.

## What it costs

| Spec | Per piece |
|---|---|
| 1 color on dark, flash included | $4.59 |
| 1 color on light | $4.34 |
| Each screen (per color) | $20.00 one-time |
| More colors, locations or quantities | Quoted per job |

A Port & Company PC61 tee is $6.04 blank, so a one-color front print is $10.63 each at 48 and front plus back is $15.22 plus $40 in screens. No hard minimum, but 48 pieces is where screen print beats the alternatives.

## Ink choices

- Plastisol: opaque, durable, the default for kitchen tees.
- Water-based: soft hand on light cotton; good for cafe and winery staff shirts.
- Discharge: removes the dye on dark cotton and replaces it; the vintage bar-merch look.

## Screen print on aprons

We print aprons, but we recommend embroidery for anything washed daily. Screen print works for event aprons, one-season patios and big simple logos where cost per piece matters most.

## Artwork

Vector art separated by color is ideal. A 300 dpi PNG works for one-color prints. Each color is one screen at $20.

## Questions
**Is there a minimum for screen printing?** No hard minimum. We recommend 48 pieces or more because screens are a fixed cost and the per-piece rate is quoted at 48.

**Can you print the same logo on tees and aprons in one job?** Yes, if the print size is the same. One set of screens covers both; we quote the apron rate per job.
