Default Just starting out-please help

Hi all, i have came across this website from google and i love it, i think its a great idea, as i believe all you people out there could help me, ok this is my dilemma, i want to start a small business printing slogans on baby shirts, i intend on buying a heat press, i have been reading on these forums regarding text but i am still a little confused, what exactly do i need to beable to print text only on shirts? keeping in mind i dont want to spend a small fortune at this time, i will be printing each slogan maybe 5 at a time and on demand, the text will mainly be one colour also, also is their a big difference between using inkjet priinters and sublimation ink printers, i only have an inkjet is this suffient enough? is the quality still good? hope someone can help me thanks....

You can do what you want with hot peel transfers and white shirts. I used iron all transfer to do the picture below.

Nice looking shirt, Lou. Do you have trouble getting the black to transfer if you print the transfer more than 5-6 days before you press it? I’ve had that problem with black in the past, and more recently red. I’m trying to get my schedule more organized so I can press the same day as printing.
