    Yeah, a cheap printing shirt from like Gildan can be found at Michael’s STARTING at 20 dollars. 20 dollars (less maybe, if they can get wholesale prices) and you’re already eating well into any profit from a 42 dollar shirt after printing and shipping.

      Is that USD? They’re significantly cheaper on their website, I only see $20 for odd sizes like 3XL. But yeah, the price of the shirt itself and printing is just one factor, because breaking even is basically doing it for free. Artists gotta eat too.
