Default Re: a good screen printing start up kit....

First I want to say this is an awsome site. I am a fashion designer and I am using t-shirts as away to promo my line. I am looking into doing the silk screen thing and have started to looking into what equitment is needed. Personal I am not trying to pay that much(500.00 to 2000.00) for the machine. But I found a website ThreadBanger that shows you have to build your own screens from things in craft stores(amongsest other things) and do the prcoss like so. You can also go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. and keyword silk screening and awhole lot of video will come up about the process. I dont need to print up alot of t-shirts cuz I am a fashion designer and I am working on my clothing. So I jus want to be able to make up a certain amounts to sell whenever and do ones when ordered. Also I find a silk screening kit put up by speedball. speedball.com and they have a thing where you can but in you zip code and it will tell you where you can buy one. It very startup, like you can use it to practice and/or to print shirts to sale until you get the money to get the big equiment. Just wanted to drop my find in the pot and if anyone has any suggests, please let it be known. I really love what you all are doing in supporting each other in what yall have in common.
