What actually affects screen printing prices?
1. Quantity
If you only need one shirt, you’re basically asking the universe to make a custom masterpiece for just you (which you deserve btw).
But if you order 50 shirts, the universe goes, “Hey, that’s awesome, here’s a discount!”
Order whatever you want - just know it gets cheaper the more you print.
2. Number of Colors
Every color = one screen. One screen = time, materials, setup, alignment, etc.
A simple one-color print keeps your wallet happy. An eight-color masterpiece looks insanely cool but takes more prep.
If your budget is tight, one color still looks awesome and a solid screen print connection should be able hook you up!
3. Type of Shirt
There’s the cheap stuff, the nice stuff, and the “oh dang this is soft” stuff.
Premium blanks cost more but feel way better and fit different vibes:
Tri-blend super soft tees = cloud mode
Oversized streetwear tees = chill + stylish
Dry-blend tees = moisture-wicking workhorses
Most shirts are totally fine - just depends on your need and budget.
Is screen printing expensive in OKC compared to other places?
Nope. Oklahoma City actually has some of the most competitive screen printing pricing in the country. People here work hard and build stuff right - printers included.

Screen printing in OKC is as affordable as you want it to be. It really comes down to:
