We're making some staff changes and I want to make a table with numbers we can aim for. I also want to plan production based on numbers. We use Monday and have a lists of all the jobs to be printed but without times. I want to add times and be able to check at the end of the day if we're keeping up.
At the moment the printer prints at whatever speed he's in the mood for and we have no way the check.
We're are not a normal print shop, we don't do custom printing, we only sell printed shirts. The shirts we import from India and print here. We average about 1400 prints a day which is very slow. I want to keep the figures with less staff.

I'm pretty much like Daryl. When I was in the grind, we shot for 900/hour. These days, its just me and I don't really care how fast I'm going as long as I make deadlines and are not printing all day. If I had to guess, I'd say I cruise somewhere between 150 and 200 per hour these days.
I'm going to fully retire in another 18 months, so I've scaled way back on clients and only take the jobs that I feel like taking now. Life is good.

We are a Mom n Pop shop and now I could care less about how fast I get a job done as long as we get it done for there pickup date, now back in the day I was about hitting numbers in and out. What really changed a lot of print speeds and hitting numbers (covid) is order size's now which for us has dropped, once was 1k to 3k orders and now we are comfy at 48 to 500 pc orders now with a 1K every now and then, and to be truthful I think we make more doing the smaller orders than the large ones.

Are you giving them the proper tools to be efficient and run faster production? This has been my quest for the past few years, is there anything I can do/buy to make your quality of life better?... Standing pads, better shoes, better stacking tables, portable AC units, lasers, an assistant, a beer fridge...I find the "happier" they are, the more they produce..... Rewards, like last Friday, if you guys get through x, y and Z, you can take Friday and Monday off...

My answer will be of no help to you, but here it is anyway.
264 pcs an hour once around with flash (average job), printed by shirt size, folded, stacked, next size.
I'm also checking emails, keeping jobs going on the Roland at the same time or wandering off in the shop to
work on something that I just have to do because I'll forget if I don't. One man shop, some days I'm more efficient then others.

anything more than 48 pieces we have a puller. They are slower when alone, probably 350 per hour or so. With a puller if they are doing less than 700, something is wrong. Most settle in at 850 or so on the runs over 100. Some print at 950 pretty steadily.
For really long runs we are at 4k per day normally. One of our faster guys will crank out 6k plus. He can do that for a day or two, but then he is beat so we'll give them smaller orders to recover...
Last three days we did pretty good and averaged over 550 per hour per press with setups included. Thats with 6.5 setups per press each day. Average order size 190 pieces. 5 ppl working on the floor plus 2 catchers.

I have a very old diamonback (number 7, I think). With me loading and unloading I can consistently hit 350. With an unloader I can get up to about 450 for a couple of hours. After 3.5 - 4 hours I begin to slow down to 420 or so. Of course the size of the print matters. A left chest can go a little faster than a 14” tall print…

With us just being a mom and pop with an occasional helper. I would say we average 420 give or take a dozen an hour. I am the bottleneck as the loader because I am too obsessed with straight and centered. Unless they are really long prints the number stays roughly the same. I realize there are many that print faster. If I had to do it over again, I would've forked over the difference for a press that the tables didn't raise and lower. I didn't realize how much of a difference that makes until I went to a class that had challengers and I loaded 100 shirts at a speed of 1/3 faster than I load now with less fatigue.
