Custom Ink has a variety of colors

............Is web based (has a cool little online quick quote tool I.E. I put 50 t-shirts in Orange with 4 colors on the front and 1 color on the back it was 14.50 a shirt ahbeit John you should charge 20 a shirt but 14 bucks for 4 color silk screen is very strong.)

............I would be glad to help anyway I can.

Not saying it's a bad solution, it's just it would extremely limit the design we used.

All screenprinting uses a 4 color process. That's how it's done. That doesn't mean you only get 4 actual colors. You create an image, then do a 4 color seperation (CMYK). You can overlap any two colors to create other colors (C+Y=Green).

I have several friends in the screenprinting business. Once a design is done, I would be happy to get us an estimate.

That's incorrect.  Screen printing is another term for 'Silk-Screen Printing'.  You are thinking of process-color printing (standard CMYK).  2 totally different things.   The very term 'screen' is used to describe the opacity of a certain spot color (be it CMYK or a pantone color).

yeah youre right. two different things.....i was just talking to a friend that does printing. Anyway, he says he uses the Pantone Matching System...you mix the inks to create other colors...but you start with like 3 colors (+black) i believe to do this.

I think some people here think that 4 color means you only get 4 actual colors. that's all i really wanted to clarify.

blah!

I checked out this site and their process thuroughly... in this case you do only get 4 colors.  They don't do dithered matching or blending.  Check out their examples if you don't believe me.
