Since the transition from a home based web business to a storefront I can see there is a demand for ink sublimation T-Shirts.
My shop is located in Lakeland Florida, and I can't even find anyone local to refer anyone to.
I have an epson printer I can get the inks for, but I'm unsure if I want to drop 1k for an "experiment".
I have 2 questions:

1) Is there any companies out there that will print and ship to me? Then I could press them myself and see the quality.

2) I normally use BroderBros for my shirts. Is there any particular brand of shirt that would work best with ink sub?

I know I've read alot of horror stories with the cartridges getting clogged if you don't use them frequently. It would make sense for anyone with an ink sub printer to offer these services to keep the ink flowing, along with making some easy money.

Mike-

Question 2: There are many manufacturers of shirts that will work with dyesub technology. The higher the amount of poly the more vivid the colors are produced post-imaging.

50/50 is the lowest poly content I would use as it gives a vintage / washed out look post image.

Anything less than 50% isn't commercially sellable I.M.O, unless this is your market

Hope this helps,

Jae

There are places (and maybe JaeAmera can help) that you can order the transfers from and do your own pressing. I would certainly start there.

As for the poly content, the new wicking materials are awesome for dye sub and do print vivid colors. The teens and 20 somethings love the wicking materials.

Check with your sublimation vendor. They, like Conde, may have a fullfillment department.
