Hello all, I am a newbie who has read so much amazing info about these plastisol transfers and it sounds like the best option for me (money wise, stock, etc)

I will only be making t-shirts right now, and my questions are:

1. It looks like I will have to buy a heat press correct? There is no way to out source/ sub contract that part of the process out?

2. Could I start off by purchasing a smaller press, say a 11 x 15 Mighty Press™ Lite Clam thats on sale for $390 Or am I wasting my money buying anything smaller than a 15 x 15 press?? The same exact model and make jumps up to about $630 dollars for the 15 x 15 size

3. Last question, whats the deal with the digital presses? Seems to be the cheapest deal but not one of the brands I have seen some of the pro's mention in the forums. Anyone have the low down on these?

Any advise would help

1. Correct, your own heat press is ideal. I guess you could outsource it, but it would probably have to be by special arrangement. In other words, there are not companies out there that advertise to heat press your plastisol transfers.

2. As long as your designs are always going to be less than 11x15 then you will be fine. But, guarantee you if you buy this size your next job will require a 15x15!

3. Not sure what you mean on this one. Maybe someone else can chime in.
