Default Hi People! Just Getting Started in The T-Shirt Business

Well, my Father and I were talking last week and here I am. I have located the printer I want (HM-1) and have about 6 clients lined up. I do have some questions though. Should I be looking at some other equipment besides the HM-1? Can I do a 200 shirt order with the HM-1? My girlfriend will be doing all the art and graphic work and I will be marketing. I've been in sales for 6 years now and know MANY people in the area. I want to make sure I'm looking at the right machine. Everything I've read about the HM-1 looks to be positive, but I wonder about using it for large orders. Any advice people can give would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!

Tony B

The HM-1 C can produce 30-40 light colored garments an hour (you'll need two heat presses for this!) and 10-20 dark garments an hour. These are realistic numbers not pie in the sky numbers and are based on "normal" sized graphics not pocket sized or super sized images.

Hope this helps!
