blitzgear, that's where RS gets their stuff printed.

Dog's ear, might be a bit expensive (in almost every mall)
Bang-on, they do take large orders, but they take time.

online sites such as cafepress are good for just plain word t-shirts... they are pretty cheap, and can be shipped straight to your clients as well.

I did try blitzgear, but I think they're too busy with their rennos and stuff.

Dog's Ear in Richmond centre is gone. But way too expensive.

Prefer to deal with someone local. I checked out some online sites, but prefer a shop I can go to and checkout clothing samples.

I would like to know where a place with good VINYL, not silkscreening is.

Silkscreen sucks... but vinyl lasts for ever and ever :P

One of the guys on our dragon boat team does T shirt printing...here's his website:
http://www.oddballworkshop.com/

Not sure what his rates are but I can ask if you have specifics. He printed our DB team shirts and embroided our jackets if you want to see what some of his work is like.

I made a couple Vinyl hoodies years back with LARGE pieces of vinyl. Inc the hoodie + the vinyl + labour it was like $45-50/hoodie. which isn't bad, considering that it's a one-off kinda thing...

i gotta find the business card for the place that did that.

by vinyl, you my vinyl heat press transfer?
personally i like the look of silkscreening the best, especially with water based inks, but it totally depends on what design you're making to figure out what printing method suits it.

speaking of printing shirts, anyone know somewhere that will do it on the spot? just a single shirt with my design? wanted to print something for a bday present and its comin up real quick. prefer DTG but heat press will work as well

I printed out around 500 shirts for school this past term and used this company:

Email: info@arteescreenprint.com
Toll Free: 1-888-848-6066.
For blank tees and products, please visit us at T-shirttown.com

100 Fruit of the Loom Heavy Tees (White) printed with 1 colour - $3.75 per shirt (add $0.50 for coloured shirt*)

100 American Apparel Unisex Jersey Tees (White) printed with 1 colour - $7.50 per shirt (add $1.00 for coloured shirt)*

*20 setup fee not included

Artee Screenprint & Embroidery
37 West 7th Avenue
Vancouver, BC, Canada
V5Y 1L4

They had the best price around.. I'm not too sure how 'high' quality you are looking for but the shirts that I have have been washed and worn many times already and are still looking fine
