Hey guys So I just got a quote for some screen prints that I'm looking to get done of this design <img src="http://www.threadless.com//product/1561/zoom.gif" /> and it seems like a fuckload of money. Details below. Can anyone feedback on whether this is a good deal/about average/daylight robbery? A2, Colorplan 270gsm, white, 3 colour 50x = £580 100x = £700 I'm in London so I'm used to getting the shaft but these numbers still made my anus hurt 2009-07-30T06:48:59-04:00 23 2009-07-29T20:08:41-04:00 true 0 58621 false false 10334 2734 1 2009-11-21T16:04:12-05:00 430 daylight robbery 58621 Post 2009-07-29T20:10:11-04:00 1805051 9706 2009-07-29T20:10:11-04:00 haha pounds 58621 Post 2009-07-29T20:10:33-04:00 1805061 10133 2009-07-29T20:12:16-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Fillmore & Speakeasy Design said:</cite> haha euros</blockquote> pounds* 58621 Post 2009-07-29T20:11:37-04:00 1805091 35211 2009-07-29T20:11:37-04:00 depends what your looking to print, but that seems high to me anyway. 58621 Post 2009-07-29T20:11:55-04:00 1805111 664 2009-07-29T20:11:55-04:00 <blockquote><cite>mistahfred said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>Fillmore & Speakeasy Design said:</cite> haha euros</blockquote> pounds*</blockquote> either way its funny 58621 Post 2009-07-29T20:12:33-04:00 1805131 10133 2009-07-29T20:12:33-04:00 You should be paying around.. $1.00/first colour $0.80/each additional colour $0.50/white 18x14 inch 100lb. cover stock and some shops will charge a film/setup.. somewhere along the lines of $25.00/colour. This would be "poster" pricing.. so expect some flaws. 58621 Post 2009-07-29T20:21:45-04:00 1805331 546 2009-07-29T20:21:45-04:00 <blockquote><cite>sblake said:</cite> You should be paying around.. $1.00/first colour $0.80/each additional colour $0.50/white 18x14 inch 100lb. cover stock and some shops will charge a film/setup.. somewhere along the lines of $25.00/colour.
