Each press turns out up to 60 shirts per hour, and our standard Orange County setup runs two presses with two printers — so a typical event clears 100+ shirts per hour at full tilt. A single shirt takes about two minutes from pick to print.
Real-world throughput depends on the art (more colors take longer to register), the garments, and how the line is managed — that's why we bring a crew that keeps guests moving. For bigger Orange County gates, we scale up presses and printers to match.
What affects throughput
- Number of presses — two is standard; we add more for high volume.
- Print complexity — one-color art runs faster than multi-color.
- Line management — our crew keeps the queue flowing.
- Garment mix — swapping styles and sizes adds a little time.

One press, one operator, and a steady queue is the unit of measurement — the range holds whether you are in Orange County or anywhere else, because it is set by the press, not the postcode. What changes in Orange County is the room: a convention aisle at Anaheim Convention Center feeds a queue continuously and usually justifies a second press, while a seated dinner in Costa Mesa sends guests up in waves and rarely needs one.
