Default Printing dark text on t-shirts

The text will be approximately 2 inches in height, white on black t-shirts and black on grey t-shirts for a company that I will be starting and would like to purchase my own equipment.

I would like the print to be the darkest color possible. I am a newbie and what I am reading sublimation may not be the method when you are trying to get a dark print on the t-shirts. Does anyone have any suggestions what would be the best type of printing, thanks.

Default Re: Printing dark text on t-shirts

Standard screen printing with either plastisol or waterbased ink would give you white on black or black on gray.
It may make way more sense to hire a screen printer to do your shirts than to make the monetary and time investment to learn how to do it yourself.
