Nice opportunity spotted! You've simplified the crap out of an annoying part of the crowdsourcing reward system. From what I can make out, you're either in the screen printing industry and spotted a great opportunity to move product, or you're a HN sort of entrepreneur who saw the opportunity and found a partner with the experience. Either way, this is a brilliant move.

  have done quite a large volume of t-shirts over the years. ran an eco-friendly clothing company that was distributed by AZA-accredited zoos. http://support.teelaunch.com/customer/portal/articles/888849-what-is-teelaunch- http://support.teelaunch.com/customer/portal/articles/888849... thanks!

    Again, props on your keen eye for market opportunities. In regards to being 'eco-friendly' - any suggestions for environmentally friendly plastisol/immulsion? We've been screenprinting in house for a while (<10 shirt runs) - as we like the DIY ethos.

Could it be there is a mistake in your pricing example: (e.g. 24 t-shirts with 1 color front & back print is $8.66 + $0.25 = $8.91/ea) The table says 24 shirts, 1 color is $7.28. 2 colors is $8.66. Should it be 2 colors? Or does one color count for two when used front and back?
- niftylettuce 14y ago
  counts for two when used front and back since they are separate locations. so if you have 2 color front and 1 color back, go to 3 color column and then add 25 cents for printing on back. lmk if you have ?'s -- support@teelaunch.com

    Thank you for clarifying. When reading the description I actually thought location was in reference to shipping locations. You may want to further clarify that on your page.

      reworded some of the verbiage to make more sense -- thanks for the feedback
  - beardicus 14y ago
    This confused me as well. I had assumed 1 color front and back would be the 1 color column, plus 25 cents for the second location. Your explanation here makes good sense... but maybe it could be clearer on the website.
    - niftylettuce 14y ago
      thanks I tried to clarify more -- if it still doesn't make sense let me know. working on another medium for explaining stuff ;)
