Default Starting up in Hamilton Ontario

Hello everyone

My name is Adam and I'm a newbie and loving the business (I have for a longtime and decided to finally do it)....

I went down to ASC365 in Scarborough last week and bought the heat press and the rabbit cutter and got some free supplies/material to start practicing !!!! Wii the owner is a very nice gentleman and very helpful (I'm not advertising but find it necessary to put a good word for him as he was very helpful ....

Anyhow, after hours trying to figure out how everything work I can say i got everything in order to start producing some tees Yayyy...

My question is that, What should I get for material to start me out (number wise)???? how many t-shirts?? what colors ??transfer paper???vinyl ????

I understand that it all depends on what I am looking to print but generally speaking how many did u buy to start out in the business??? keep in mind that I have to order and wait for the supplier to ship the order ....

Thank you very much

Adam

hi adam good luck and welcome. I also purchase some stuff fron Asc and truly the guy is helpful. If you give a little more info about the market you plan to target maybe i can help with some numbers.

As for myself i made my first purchase of substantial blanks after receiving my fir order.

By the way if at anytime you have request for sublimation prints i would more than happy to be part of it.

Also there is the annual imprint show this Jan, it might more your while to attend.

Best of luck

Thanks u Ramesh,

I'm planning to start online first and see where it goes from there.. I have about 20 designs ready to be printed (some on white and others on dark)....

I understand that there is a earning curve and that i might waste alot of tees while trying to figure what works best for me so I was wondering how many Tees I should get!!! I thought I should start with about 100 (30 whites,30 blacks,20 brown,brown,blue & Pink)...

Where will the annual imprint show be ?? and when ??

Appreciate the info man

Adam
