Oops... Adnan, a word of warning here, out of my experience. We had a
printing workshop. Yes, small-scale and all, but competitive enough to
have it for a living. My previus couple is an extremely dilligent and
professional person (many people here worked with her and can back my
saying). And for a full run of ~600 shirts... Less than a week _after
having the final designs printed on silk screens_ is just a pipe
dream.
Of course, large-scale shops can get this done quicker, but just
because of the scale, it does not work - 600 shirts is too little for
a large workshop with automated machines, and the prices raise in a
way you would not believe.
Also, adding extra designs for shorter runs (volunteer and video) adds
complexity and raises quite a bit more the costs.
Make it simple, make it quick... And get somebody to do it _now_! (no,
I'm not shouting at _you_, but at the situation - This cannot be done
in a couple of days, we are very very close of being too late to hand
out shirts at registration)
