in determining price is the color of your textile. Choosing a
white shirt will result in considerable savings in your printing
costs. There are a number of reasons why this is the case, from
initial shirt pricing to factors in the printing process.
T-shirts are usually priced in two categories, "Whites" and
"Darks". White t shirts are always the least expensive shirt
when compared to a colored t-shirt of the same brand and type.
For no other reason than shirt price alone, whites contribute to
a lower overall printing cost.
There are also price advantages in the printing process itself
when using white t-shirts instead of dark. When printing on dark
shirts, many inks need to have more than one layer laid down in
order to completely cover the shirt. In order to keep the layers
from smearing, the first layer will be partially dried under a
Christian T-Shirts - Where To BuyT-shirts are a permanent part of our lives, whether we re
relaxing in the summer heat or layering to ward off the winter
chill. There s just nothing better or more comfortable than a
t-shirt. But you probably don t want a boring, plain old white
t-shirt. You want one that s got style and sends a message. But

colors in a print run adds considerable time to how long a shirt
is on the press and incurs an additional charge. Most colors on
white shirts can go on in one layer and rarely have to be
flashed.
A similar factor that affects price on a dark shirt is the
requirement for a white underbase. Light hues and bright ink
colors will not print well, if at all, on a dark shirt
regardless of how many layers are put down. To overcome this, a
white layer of ink in the same shape as the colored layer is
printed first and then flashed to dry it. Then the final color
of ink is laid down on top of the white. Not only does this have
the flashing charge as described above, but also there is now an
additional ink color, namely white, which further raises the
A Brief History of Hawaiian ShirtsBright in color and full of vivid design, Hawaiian shirts are an immensely popular way to introduce yourself - and your clothing - at parties, the pool or the beach. They have become an international symbol of Hawaii. Although they continue to increase in popularity, Hawaiian shirts are not a new trend or fad. In fact, the design of the popular shirts has been around for decades. Hawaiian shirts got their start in the 1930s, when clothing manufacturers on the islands decided to produce a cloth that had a design unique to Hawaii. Watumull s East India Store led the pack by hiring artist Elsie Da ..

While beautiful and striking work can be done with screen
printing images on dark shirts (as well as white), if economy is
a major factor for your project, you would be better served to
create a design geared for white shirts.
