Does the price sound unusually high? It may be something that you don’t realizing is driving the price up for your custom printed t-shirts. Here are 5 quick tips to save you money on your next custom printed t-shirts:

1. Go with white or grey printed t-shirts
   White and Grey T-shirts cost the least from the wholesalers to the printers and the print process is much less labor intensive for these tee shirts.
2. Lower the amount of printed ink colors
   Custom t-shirt pricing is largely based on the amount of printed ink colors.
3. Lower the amount of print locations
   Each location adds to the amount of ink colors and increases the amount of labor it takes to finish the print job.
4. Raise the quantity of t-shirts
   Buying a very small quantity (<24) raises the price per shirt because of the amount of set-up involved.
5. Go with a basic t-shirt
   Specialty t-shirts cost more blank from the wholesalers to the printers before the printing process.

1. MySpace Junkie
   
   There is probably an inverse relationship between the number of friends one has in reality to the number of friends one has on Myspace. So, for all of you Myspace friend adding psycho’s out there, this one is for you.
2. WordPress Blogging Platform
   
   I’m not sure how ecstatic a person could get about their word press blog. I mean, unless you’re making tons of money off of advertising like Perez Hilton, I can’t see you running out to buy your spanking new “WordPress” t-shirt.
3. Librarian Bust
   
   Remember back in the 80’s when you had to do research for a paper and you would actually take “trips” to the library? It’s obvious that with the advent of Google and how it transformed the search for information, that same paper that may have taken you 10 hours to research and write may now only take you 5! It’s great for the researchers but horrible for traditional librarians!
4. RTFM
   
   There seems to be a cleaver relationship between the geek phrase “Read the Effing Manual” and the Red book that was endorsed by the former chairman of the communist part of China, Mao Zedong. I could just see Mao right now yelling to his deprived nation, “RTFM!!!”
5. PWN3D
   
   For all of the gamers and other competitive nerds, this one’s for you.
6. Graphic/Web Designers
   
   If you think you’ve got a “sixth sense” for criticizing graphic design, you should probably own this one. If you often feel there could be something added to the space and the pixels “just aren’t right”, you should own this one too!
7. Wireless Frequency Network Nerds
   
   Everyone knows that the universal frequency for a wifi signal is 802.11, why not wear it? Does this shirt somehow imply that you’d like others to connect to your “personal” network? Hopefully your network isn’t password protected or you’ll probably be having a night alone.
8. All your base are belong to us!
   
   So, this is a mash-up shirt that combines common hex values and the Zero Wing arcade game.
9. Programming and Computer Languages
   
   
10. PTOE T Shirt
    
    Just in case you’re really into chemistry and you haven’t already memorized each element in the Periodic Table of Elements, you can refer to your shirt—I’m sure this guy does.
11. SYN - Denial of Attack
    
    I’m not sure who this guy is sending his SYN packets to, but I hope it’s not our server!
