Discuss the various aspects of direct to garment printing. DTG printers include Brother, T-Jet, Flexi-Jet, DTG Kiosk, Kornit, Mimaki, Tex-Jet and others! Discuss and learn about this up and coming printing technology.
Please for anyone who owns the DTG printer, i'll be grateful if you can answer two questions below. You don't have tell what your DTG you're using or how much you have invested.
1. What's your "Payback Period"? in other words, How long does it take to get the money back from your investment (only for DTG printer)?
2. How many shirts have you printed to get to the point of getting all of your investment back?
Actually, they're quite expensive, and expensive to operate. On top of that, they're hard to keep running.
You'll probably want to find a web fulfillment company to get started. See how things go before you invest in your own equipment.

But reality check here.. it really depends because folks sell Garments anywhere from $5.50 to $22 for white garments = $1 ink and $1.20 for shirt plus your time, energy cost ect.
Depends what you build your selling structure on:
Some folks print 30 plus shirts a day and other print 30 a week
There is no real answer to your question, you gotta just figure how much you wanna spend on machine, than figure if you wanna do strictly white garment or dark than rip out hair to save yourself time because doing darks can be a pain in butt
I would say in real world, take you atleast a year, unless you will strictly do tons of shirts, than a few months or so
