T-Shirt Production Is a Good Fit for Iowa State University
By Steve Weigel, CGCM, Director, Iowa State University Printing & Copy Services
Always searching for additional revenue sources, about six months ago Iowa State University Printing & Copy Services in Ames added t-shirt printing to our services.
After several weeks of researching and talking with other university printers, commercial enterprises, and printer dealers at a garment printing trade show, we put together a business plan for our Vice-President of Business Services. After a couple of weeks which included a review by ISU's Non-Compete Committee, we gained approval.
Looking to get into the business with a fairly modest investment, we sent out an RFQ for a digital ink-jet garment printer. The low bid was for a DTG Viper printer, a pre-treater, and a drier -- all for less than $28,000. Currently we are concentrating on producing fairly small quantities of t-shirts ranging from 1 to 100. Larger quantities are produced by one of our commercial partners. We have three pricing levels ranging from $19.95 to $8.25 each.
