Screen Charges

I have a question on screen charges - when you use an underbase do you charge for that screen also or do you only charge the customer for the number of colors he sees on the shirt? What is the going rate for screen charges?

If you want to stay in business, you charge for everything you do that costs you money or takes your time no matter how trivial you may think it is. In my part of the country, t-shirt shops charge between 20 and 30 dollars per screen. We charge considerably more for large format screens, (yard signs, etc). If the customer balks, find a customer to take their place and let the bargain hunters go run someone else out of business. There is always going to be someone who can do it cheaper for various reasons, try not to be that person. Charge what you have to so you can serve your customers tomorrow as well as today. A pricing software program may help you to keep more of your attention where it belongs, making quality prints efficiently.

Do you have EXCEL for you Mac?
Thats going to be as good as you get for MAC at this point.
This industry has not really shifted to the APPLE side like the rest of the world is starting to do.
I made a cool little spread sheet for excel that I use to quote out jobs. Works well.
Can you share your spreadsheet?

I would call around to about 10 printers in your area/state and base your pricing on averages. You don't need a $1300.00 program for that.

The only problem with calling around and getting the average prices.... If all the other people are selling to cheap its going to make you sell to cheap.
People like me with low overhead and high volume can charge less then a shop that has HUGE EXPENSES.
(even though I try to be the highest price in town
)
