Unhappy Big mistake or what?

I am planning on printing 80 t-shirts (xxxl) for a team of basketball players. I didn't know about this forum and silly me went ahead and purchased a HIX PRESTO 15.

Now, I know for sure that the i.d. tags everyone is wearing is hot in the city! They are little aluminum or metal tags with their daughter, family, or dog picture on it. I guess I was focusing on this only.

Anyway, i have to make 80 tee for a basketball tournament and i just read on here "this forum" that the best way to do multiple or large about of tee is going screen printing!

Did i make a big mistake or what? Did i throw $ 559 in the drain or what?

No; heat transfer can do well enough for medium/large orders - once you start getting the hang of it, you can press about 30+ shirts an hour (depending on cutting time, if you're doing double-sided prints, etc.), so it won't really take all that long to go through all of them.
