Common questions about screen printing process and pricing What is the least expensive t-shirt?
Mountain High Designs is offering a white, 100% cotton, 5.5 oz. t-shirt with
a one-color imprint, one print location (ie., front or back). With the minimum
50-piece order, the cost for the shirt and printing is only $4.00 each. An order
of 12,000 white t-shirts will cost only $1.84 each.
What affects the price of garments?
Your price is affected by: the quantity, quality, and color of garments you
select; the number of ink colors used in your artwork; and the number of print
locations on the garments.
Can I combine different styles of garments for my order?
Yes, you may combine any number of styles to get the quantity price break. For
example, order 24 t-shirts, 24 tank tops and 24 sweat shirts and receive the
72 piece price for all garments, as long as all garments recieve the same print.
The only exception is for hats. Hats must be ordered separately because they
require different screens and use a dedicated hat press.
Can I combine different colors of garments for my order?
Yes, most artwork will print well on different shirt colors. Mix colors all
you want. When we review your art we'll notify you if there's a potential problem,
and help you find the solution. Remember, no surprises...you always approve
our work!

Remember, to receive quantity discounts, all pieces must be imprinted with the same artwork.
Do you have specialty inks?
Yes, we have flourescent colors as well as puff, shimmer and metallic inks. We also match Pantone colors.
What is the largest print area?
We can print to a maximum of 16" wide by 20" tall
How large should my logo be?
There are no set standards. This is art and it is all very subjective. We recommend
that you print your image onto paper in a number of different sizes. For example,
print your image at 6", 8" and 10" wide. Place the images one
at a time in the location on your garment where you want it to print. Use a
live body rather than laying it flat on a table, so you'll see how the shirt
looks as someone wears it. Talk to the others in your group and decide on an
image size.
Do you match Pantone colors?
Yes, we will mix your Pantone color for a nominal fee of $15.
Does black count as an ink color?
Yes, count black as well as white when figuring the number of ink colors in your design.
Can I print a color photograph?
Yes, but as it involves slightly more sophisticated technology, there is a different
pricing structure and minimum quantity order. Do not hesitate to call if you
have questions.
How many ink colors can you print?
We print up to 12 spot colors. You may use 1 - 8 ink colors per image for orders
with quantities up to 599. Your order must be 600 or more garments to print
9 - 12 ink colors.
