Have 5K backpacks showing up today...supposed to get a 1-color imprint. Last minute the customer calls and wants their logo in full color. They shoot the logo over and it's 6 colors :-\. Money's right, but damn it would be nice to just have a regular old 1-color job come through here once in awhile.

One color jobs? HA, not around here. Then the complaints on price for an 8 color job on 36 pieces. "but I don't understand why it's so expensive". Last week we did a 7 color...on pockets...on darks...30 pieces, and probably broke even.

:oGuess I can't complain too much...haven't had one of those come through here....yet

Yea, I would much rather print a 1 color job over a more spendy many-color job any day. For us manual printers, at least, multi-color jobs can really affect the production rate. Plus I get bored seeing the same shirt 6 times!

I get bored easily as well. On the other hand, when I printed signs and other flat stock, one color at a time with drying in-between, it was a real rush adding each subsequent color, and watching the whole design slowly fill out.
Similar to adding the black plate on many shirt designs, it suddenly all pulls together. T-shirts give much more instant visual gratification.

outta curiosity, how do you hold a backpack on the auto? nails?
