Filming: T-Shirt Printers

Today we headed over into Liverpool City Centre and interviewed a man who works in Desk Top Printing (Bold Street). We also filmed cutaways of the shop, T-shirts that he had printed in the past, and also the machines and printers that he uses regularly.

2. Which method of T-Shirt printing is most effective and why?
3. Which method is most popular?
4. How do you work out how much to charge for each T-Shirt that you print?
5. On average, how many T-Shirts do you print a day?
6. What is the most unusual request that you have had to be printed onto a T-Shirt?
7. Where do you draw the line with what you print onto a T-Shirt?
8. How and why did you become a T-Shirt printer?
9. What is the best thing about your job?
10. What is the worst thing about your job?
11. Do you print any T-Shirts for yourself?
12. How many T-Shirts do you own?
13. Which is your favourite T-Shirt and why?

Unfortunately, the answers in which the man gave were not very detailed, and arguably a little boring, and so as a group we have decided to interview another T-Shirt printer in the hope of getting better, more interesting answers to our questions.
