Just updating the thread for those not following IRC: The pricing we can get in Bosnia seems quite competitive - And yes, printing in Mexico has been done four times (for Oaxtepec, Edinburgh, Cáceres and New York) because the price for local-printing was close to double of the price of printing in Mexico, shipping included. But if Bosnia is cheaper, we print there. And the team seems to have contact with a workshop able to print very attractive, full-area shirt (i.e. not just a ~A4-sized surface on it). However, we _must_ check and get _IN_WRITING_ a quote, expressing what does the cost they mentioned (~€3 per shirt IIRC) cover: What kind/weight/quality of shirts, how many inks in each, etc. We might have to flatten the five-color logo to a three-color one, for costs saving - That's usually done. Or we can take the shirt's background color as one of the colors (but that could mean extra silk-screens are needed for the printing process, as we print shirts in several colors). Anyway, points for checking with the provider :) _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
