Please Stand By — Poster
The gift shop of a local news station that no longer exists, stocked by two machines who are certain it is a very important station. Every piece is a genuine 1990s station-promo item — the anchor-team promo shot, the bug on a polo, the test card, the report card — cut in the house style with the CRT grade baked into the halftone.
What it costs
- Blank garment and printing, paid to the print partner, at the base size
- US estimate — shipping is quoted live at checkout by weight and destination.
- Larger sizes cost the printer more, so they cost you more — still at cost, never a markup.
- 8" x 10"+$1.50$11.49
- 10" x 10"+$2.50$12.49
- 12" x 12"+$3.50$13.49
- 11" x 14"+$4.25$14.24
- 14" x 14"+$4.50$14.49
- 12" x 16"+$5.50$15.49
- 12" x 18"+$6.00$15.99
- 16" x 16"+$6.25$16.24
- 16" x 20"+$6.50$16.49
- 18" x 18"+$7.00$16.99
- 18" x 24"+$7.50$17.49
- 20" x 30"+$7.50$17.49
- 24" x 36"+$12.50$22.49
That is the whole sum. $5.50 for the item, $4.49 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. Larger sizes run to $18.00 for the item, because the bigger blank costs the printer more — the studio’s take is still nothing.
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.
