Default Spoilt for choice

Great people make great sites, and this is a great site.

I have been looking to get into T shirt printing. I am no expert so here i am trying to pick your brains.

The type of shirts i want to print are not the bog standard square patch across the chest. I want to be able to print from the bottom hem to the neck and shoulder. I am having trouble finding a set up big enough for this. I initially started out with the idea of screen printing, then i discovered sublimation which i thought was great. I then went back to my origional idea, so screen printing it was. Then i thought, no sublimation is for me. I can not decide which is best. Sublimation looks great but like i said bfore are there any kits big enough to print the whole front of the shirt.

What i need to know is if i want to print full front shirts using sublimation printing,is it possible?
Secondly is sublimation better than screen printing for someone who has read lots about printing but done very little.

Appologies if this is a stupid question and many thanks for any help or advice.

Are you looking to do the printing yourself or outsource it? It's pretty expensive equipment needed to do the all over prints.

You can find the companies that are already setup to do that type of printing here:
all over printing sources - screen printing print all-over the t-shirt with a belt screen printer

These posts might also be of help: all over related topics at T-Shirt Forums
