Has anyone used oc print pros.com for printing?

Thanks.

Nope. Easy enough in the 21 century to do it your self.

Oh yea? Nice, so you print?

Except that silk screen printing makes a big mess. Plus you need heat dryers to properly cure the ink. You could do an amateur job with water base inks or poster inks but the end result will be less than satisfying.

Cafe Press is expensive per unit and an Iron On transfer of your inkjet printer don't give you good and lasting color saturation (plus is not very cost effective).

I use Pacifica T Shirts in Santa Ana. They offer the best service and prices in the area.

There are professional water based inks that will give the same if not better results than plastisol inks, in fact they are becoming the industry standard for fashion-tees.

Doing it yourself and getting professional results is going to take at least $2,000 in equipment and a lot of time.

Anyhow, I don't know the company you mentioned, but if you tell me their rates I can tell you whether its reasonable or not.
