Indie Band Concert T-Shirt Printing
By James Blakely
s I recently had to make some indie band concert t-shirts. It had been some time since I had designed t-shirts for a concert, so I had to shop around for concert t-shirt printers. I had done a little investigation for the article T-Shirts - Moving Billboards for Your Band, so I had some printers lined up. I needed to 72 t-shirts printed for less than $5.00 a garment. I also needed them to be above standard quality. You don't want to spend money on a t-shirt that won't last a couple of washings.

I also needed the t-shirts printed and at my door in less than 2 weeks. That crossed off a lot of printers right away. Most printers needed extra time because this was my first order from them.

As I was shopping around I found that there wasn't a lot of variation in prices. There were some places that were quite high, but overall most of the printer's price ranges were equal. After an exhaustive search, I found everything I needed at The T-Shirt Guy, Inc., so why did I choose cheaperts.com? They had a couple of things that put them above the rest.

The Website
I am the kind of person who wants to have a lot of information before I call. I don't want to call a business that is just completely wrong for what I need. Cheaperts.com had a very informative website. On top of the company information they also have a price quote generator. This was a huge plus for me. It allowed me to get a good idea of what the price would be. It was very specific so I knew what type of t-shirt, colors printed, and could compare different set ups without speaking to a salesman.

The Staff
After I had done some comparison with different t-shirts and inks I decided to give them a call. After telling them my needs they took the time to find a better deal using sale and closeout t-shirts that their price generator didn't have. They gave me a higher quality garment at a lower price then I could have found anywhere. They even shipped it to me for free. They also stepped me through the process of how my design needed to created and sent so there would be no delays, since I needed the shirts so quickly.

The Quality
When I receive the t-shirts, 1 day before deadline, the printing was top notch. I had used fonts that had a lot of thin lines which are really hard to print. The colors where what I wanted. The design had no bleeds or misprints. The t-shirt design was exactly how I had created it on the computer. I was very pleased with the t-shirts. Even though it was a rushed job, the quality didn't suffer and they didn't charge me an extra fee to get it done when I needed it.

The Experience
Everything happened without a hitch, and they helped me save money. They were very friendly and worked with me to get my project done on time. Before the only way to get inexpensive t-shirts printed was to go to a local printer or have a large lead time. Cheaperts.com has really leveraged the Internet to make printing easier and less of a headache. If you are looking for a t-shirt printer then I highly recommend The T-Shirt Guy, Inc.
