Re: Tim's Good Idea

2008-07-05 by Scott Deyo

The strategy for one-offs is still in the air, because I don't know how much my 
silkscreeners will charge extra for making just one screen. Also, unless you send me a 
screen in Illustrator or something like that, I'll need to make a little money for diapers and 
mortgage. 

Estimation:
$10 per U, plus $5 per additional U, plus $60.

I still need to talk to the silkscreeners, because they did mention (IIRC, that was a couple 
years ago) that they could print a one-off on just a copier or something. That might shave 
$20 off. 

I'll contact them Monday and try to figure out more. 
Basically: Less than FPE, but you'll have to drill : )

Cheers,
Scott
