Real-world throughput depends on a few things: design complexity (a one-color logo flies; a four-color print takes longer), how decisive your guests are, and whether you're running screen printing, DTF, or both. For high-volume Columbus events like Buckeye game-day & tailgate activations, we add presses and crew to lift capacity.
Sizing the station to your Columbus headcount
- 400+ or a packed window — multiple stations, common for a Greater Columbus Convention Center booth or festival.
One press, one operator, and a steady queue is the unit of measurement — the range holds whether you are in Columbus or anywhere else, because it is set by the press, not the postcode. What changes in Columbus is the room: a convention aisle at Easton Town Center feeds a queue continuously and usually justifies a second press, while a seated dinner in Short North Arts District sends guests up in waves and rarely needs one.
