Counterfeit Press — Tumbler
An industrial press flattening a beige smiley into scrap. REJECT. Counterfeit kills — so we crush it, on the shop floor, in stencil and sparks. Wear it: out loud, front and centre, one clean read from across the room. Printed at cost — the price on the page is the whole arithmetic, out loud. —spz
What it costs
- Blank garment and printing, paid to the print partner
- US estimate — shipping is quoted live at checkout by weight and destination.
That is the whole sum. $20.45 for the item, $6.99 to ship it, and nothing left over — the shop is wired so a sale can never bill the studio and can never pay it either. The book spends twenty-four doors on the line between a signal and its merch, and the only honest way to sell a shirt off the back of that argument is to show you the arithmetic.
Paying over cost is a separate, deliberate act — any amount you choose, never a markup folded into a garment. Skipping it is a completely acceptable answer.
