I agree with what you said, especially about having print on demand for yourself and I use supacolor for alot of generic orders but let's be honest. Most people are not ordering at least 50 transfers. Your example of 50 works but at 120 shirts I can get them screen printed cheaper including setup and better feel. Supacolor Is for certain level and I have no problem with them and they have great customer service. I am just stating if you give examples dont make it seem like a blank statement for everything.

[@BigBrandoh]

so what your saying is i should make videos the way you wanna hear them? or what your saying is you cant do a 120 piece order with supacolor? i dont understand your question or what you are implying. but i'll give you a good example of a larger size order. i just did 240 pieces. front and back print locations. both locations multi color. i also used transfers and my heat press. I was able to still be very profitable and cut the customers print cost in half from his first 3 quotes from screen print shops. I gave him my estimate, told him to shop around for other prices and if he can find the prices cheaper than what i offered. no harm done. i aint mad he found a better deal. But he ordered thru me, because i was still cheaper and was able to turn around the job quicker. i talk about shit on my channel, because i actually operate my businesses this way. if you dont agree with how i run my business and the information i share, you have the freedom to provide your own information on youtube as well. theres no gate keepers here. anybody can do this. you have better prices for what you do or dont like how i do things, be my guest and create your own content to give the people the information you wanna share. but dont tell me how i should be making videos or how i should share information hahahahahaaaa obviously i dont operate the way you do. hahahaaa

[@BigBrandoh]

For the people... lets see some numbers on how you get a 5 color print at 120 pieces including set up to be cheaper than Supacolor. Heres supacolor's numbers... this same design shown in the video at 120 pieces. is under $3 a print. you can go to Supacolor.bigbrandoh.com to verify this price and order for yourself. now let us know where you go so we can verify numbers and order some screen printed shirts just like you thats cheaper than that?

I started screen printing 2 years ago and I would only take 1-3 color jobs cuz anything over 3 colors would be too much for me. When I found supacolor last year GAME CHANGER!!! I only do 1-2 color jobs and any extra colors I just automatically order from Supacolor! I also just sold 2 of my presses yesterday and it literally felt like freedom hahaha. For those that run a print shop I suggest incorporating supacolor into your biz cuz they save you money AND TIME!!! As always though man thanks for a great video!!

Just got my first supacolor order, wasn’t disappointed

[@sweettreatminis]

There are tons of DTG places that will give you a good price on shirts. Even big guys like Printful, Printify, Teelaunch, Gooten all between $7-$8 a shirt. I personally go through a company called Fuel POD, DTG shirts at $5.50 Each shirt and print included. Quality is great, i've had one of my shirts for over a year and still looks good washed almost weekly. You can also find DTF Transfers for cheaper than Supacolor which Supacolor is basically DTF printing as is anyways. Also tons of screen printing places you can go through that will be cheaper than $10 a shirt for a 4 color print at 48-50 quantity that dont charge set up fees. As a printer going to another printer, they will typically discount especially if you bring in alot of orders.

[@BigBrandoh]

nice. thanks for sharing. so this is a POD service we're talkin about right? they handle all the fulfillment for you? i fulfill all my own orders... But for your screen print shops that offer 5 color prints for under $10 with no set up, would love to check those out. got any links? cuz those prices around here dont exist hahahaaa

[@simplediyr]

Don’t get mad, get money! Lol, I love it. Keep it real and keep them vids coming. Great stuff Big Brandoh.

[@Mloines]

based in the UK, we have supacolor but for anyone over here I would recommend targettransfers, unlike supercolour target transfer let you gang up designs so you can squeeze them up onto A3 sheets and the cost is waaaay cheaper per print than supercolour and the transfers are exactly the same

[@rafitaino3137]

Fact! Great video thank u.💯💪🏼🥊💪🏼💪🏼

[@kcasunxion]

Supacolour now have 10 minimums. But how do you compare it with dtf printers?

[@BigBrandoh]

better durability and better print quality and better consistency. supacolor's print technology is different from standard dtf prints. i also own a dtf printer and i order my transfers from supacolor still

[@kcasunxion]

I find the supacolour supaexpensive though. I thought it was $4 till I realised the $4 actually is the smallest size and A3 size is just insane

[@BounceMuzik1]

Yup I agree with you .. And just like anything there is pros and cons.. Yes you pay a bit more for Supacolor. VS Transfer express. And you definitely get more bang for your bank at Transfer Express.. But Supacolor has a quick turn around time , sometimes within that day if you get your order in early . Vs Transfer Express can take up to 3 4 5 day depending on how many colors. So if you have a job that is not time sensitive then Transfer express is the way to go . If you need something asap with quality . And dont mind paying a bit more. the Supacolor... At least thats how I do it ..

[@DHill]

I got a question for ya'll. I have a two-color design, the colors are pink and white and will be pressed on a black Next Level 3600 tee. Which company should I get transfers from Supacolor or Hotsplit/Goof Proof from Transferexpress. Thank you guys in advice for helping a brotha out.

very informative Big Brandoh. just about to make an order with supacolor. Time to make that money!

[@mkfremkglmfekwgnkr1727]

Is Supacolor any different than heat transfer vinyl's ? Personally I think it's even cheaper to use DTF for this kind of design, I can for sure do that design for under $4. More like $0.75 per sheet. I'm happy to send you some Big Guy if you want to do a comparison. And for the record (and everyone in the US) I think Supacolor is the best solution for right now , as we slowly adopt DTF printing. I also do subli and DTG , I have a screen press but I haven't used it in years. Really enjoy this content Brandoh.

[@BigBrandoh]

how much to do 250 transfers 11x14? need by Friday.

[@mkfremkglmfekwgnkr1727]

@@BigBrandoh I’m your biggest fan in Ireland bro , not sure I can look after you by Friday. If I was pricing 250 A3 size transfers I’d charge $2 a sheet to leave room for both of us to make profit. Btw I took an old Epson 1400 and converted it to dtf for $150. So the outlay is minimal. Happy to answer any questions

[@BigBrandoh]

woah Ireland.... Nice! me personally, i buy alot of stuff based on convenience. I say this because, Supacolor can turn around 500+ transfers in a day or two. on top of that, if i were to print them myself, 50-250 transfers would choke a machine up. i used to work in a reprographics shop so high speed digital printing was something i am used too. i understand the convenience of being able to print from home BUT for me it wouldnt make sense to do on my own. but if your printer does everything you need it to do. i dont need to talk you out of your process and profits hahahaa. keep doin what you do. i would encourage you to jump on youtube and share your info too. im sure alot of people would benefit from it.

[@legacy4043]

@@BigBrandoh My prices also depends on quantity. Small orders get charged accordingly believe that. They're paying for every screen every color change, It has to make sense for me and like you said the time put in to everything.

Great vid bro! This might be a different topic, do you experience issues in pressing supacolor transfers where in the initial peel the edge is not sticking very well? I have to put the cover back and press again for few more seconds for the entire edge to stick. I'm using the same time, temp and pressure you recommended in the other video, basically same settings recommended by supacolor. But for some reason I'm still getting this issue at times, not consistent. Not sure if it's just me. Appreciate the help.
