Screen printing and DTF software that costs the run properly
Blanks, colours, screens and transfers as separate costed lines, artwork approved before a screen is burned, and the wholesaler order raised from the same job.
Setup is where the margin goes
A four-colour run of fifty and a one-colour run of five hundred are different businesses, and the difference is setup. Price it as a guess and the short run pays for the long one.
- Screens, colours, transfers and blanks price as separate lines

More about Zigaflow for Screen Printing & DTF
Zigaflow puts screens, colours, transfers and blanks on separate lines, each carrying its own supplier cost, so the quote shows what the run is worth before it is accepted, and the purchase orders to the blank wholesalers come off the same lines.
The problems we solve
Setup is priced from memory
Screens and colour changes are folded into a rate per garment, and the short runs quietly lose money.
Screens and colour changes are their own lines with their own cost, so the margin on a fifty-piece run is visible before you accept it.
Blanks come from three wholesalers
Orders are keyed into supplier websites one at a time and reconciled to jobs weeks later.
Purchase orders for every supplier on the job go out at once, and the supplier acknowledges and adds tracking in Zigaflow.
The wrong file gets printed
The customer sends a revised logo in a reply, and the version on the press is the one from the first email.
The approved artwork is attached to the quote line and production does not start until the approval is in.
