The cost of each screen is $25. You need one screen for every color in your design. This charge covers the cost of labor and consumables to prepare & image screens for your order. This is a one time charge. If you decide to print more shirts using the exact same design at a later date, you do not have to pay for the screens again as long as you re-print with the screen within a 6 month period. After 6 months, your screen will be reclaimed (image removed) and re-used for other orders. At that time, you will have to pay another $25 screen charge in order to reprint the same image.
