hi,

we are quite new wanted to do sub but ended up doing vinyl and transfers. we have a rabbit cutter, epson 1400 printer and airmax heat press.

with sub the inks are dear, with transfers u just need to make sure u use pigment inks. Vinyl is reasonab ly priced as well.

hope this helps.

Just to piggy back....research, research,research!

What do you want to produce?
What process / technology do I need to produce it?
What is the start-up cost?
What is the learning curve?
Am I producing it for personal, giveaway, or retail business?

Lots of other questions can be inserted, but ultimately you need to find a target and start training to hit the mark.

Hope this helps,

Jae
