I have worked on this business for just one year and my greatest discovery is that you only make it in the t-shirt business when you handle as many t-shirts as possible. 10 may disappoint you, but 100+ may make you wish you had started the business long ago.

The other side is that its so demanding. Printing 50 t-shorts is not a joke. Worse when its more than one color. I printed about 160 two color t-shirts in one day & I was extremely tired after that. Also, its a lot trial and error work. I use screen printing and chances to make errors are there throughout the process. I like it anyway, but worry when I have to ask someone to do it for me.

Anyway, bottom line is the number one succes factor --- MANY, MANY, MANY quantities sold.

I don't know about quantity being the key factor in t-shirt printing success. For some yes, but you need to be set-up for such and the competitor factor will still exist.
