As you suggested, I explained to the lady that the costs would be very high with my current equipment, even if the end result would be of good quality, so she opted for the classic t-shirt with teddy bears and text...
I stand corrected then If you could have done a full size tshirt then the I would have expected, with low volume runs and very high machine costs, the price of the t-shirt would be beyond the reach of most people that asked for this to be done.
I have had a DTG printer and threw the dam thing away, simply could not get on with it. Having said that they have come a long way and I do think that eventually they will be up to speed. But right now, white ink ones are going to set you back 10k plus and I have a feeling that the total cost of the ink etc is more expensive (someone will correct me if I am wrong).
Also, you can not print all over on a tee shirt using a DTG. They have platens similar to those of the general heat presses so are restricted by size also.
