Default Starting a small T-shirt business

I know there are many threads like this, anyways I'm wondering how much money I need for equipment and what is the best printing method. I herd silk screening is the best way, but it seems messy, time consuming, and limited in many ways. I would have to create a clear image of each color on a transparency. Heat press seems way easier but more expensive and it might not be as durable. I'm more of the heat pressing side but after looking at this video:
It looks like an common iron on t-shirt, so i'm scared of my shirts not going to sell. I'm planning to sell many shirts in the future

Yes, there are quite a few

By reading through those threads, you can get some great answers to your questions without having to wait for answers to be posted in this thread

You just have to read, research and evaluate the pros and cons of the different printing methods and decide which method will work best for you.

I'll close out this thread since the answers are covered pretty well the other threads I'll link to below:
