I was curious as to where most people order their supplies from? I have a few places in my state (TX) I can order from, but was thinking it may be better to order out of state to eliminate sales tax charges. Is there any places that would be good to consider? Maybe someplace online that someone can recommend from experience dealing with them?

Shipping generally costs more than sales tax does. And if you are a retailer, you shouldn't have to pay Texas sales tax for supplies (unless it's for equipment).
Re: Where do you order your screen printing supplies?
I second Graphics Solutions Group , free shipping and they carry almost everything (except Union Ink....damn). There is also Mcbee (Houston) and River City Graphic Supply for Austin and San Antonio.
Re: Where do you order your screen printing supplies?
Thanks everyone. Yes, I was looking for supplies like inks and chemicals for screen printing. I've had people recommend McBee. I've talked to Robert on the phone and have one of their catalogs. The CAPS folks recommended River City Graphics although I haven't had a chance to contact him.
I knew you could set up a tax exempt form for your shirts, but didn't know you could do it on the supplies. Do you guys do that with Graphics Solution Group? I've talked to them too, but someone told me that the ink they sell is actually reject ink from one of the big manufacturers. Don't know if that's actually true. I've talked to them before though.
Thanks for the input though. I really appreciate it.
Re: Where do you order your screen printing supplies?
GSG is one of the biggest suppliers in the country, so no, they do not sell "reject ink". Was it one of their competitors that told you that? I know they sell Triangle and Wilflex, because that's what I buy from them.
And no, I don't have to pay tax for supplies. I believe it it is consumable supplies used in making a product intended for resale (such as T-shirts), then you do not have to pay taxes on it. But you do have to pay tax for assets (equipment), such as heat press, screen press, etc. That's the way I understand it, but could be wrong.

I may give GSG a try since theyr'e closer to me. The person that told me referenced Texplast being reject ink from Wilflex. Don't know if that's the case.
Re: Where do you order your screen printing supplies?
Yes, I've had very good service. They will even deliver my order to my place next day for no charge (if you are in the Dallas area). Jason Freeman is my rep, and he's been very helpful.
Re: Where do you order your screen printing supplies?
Cool. I'm pretty sure that's the same Jason I talked to a while back. Yeah, I think they only deliver out here to my area once a week on Tuesdays. But that's interesting to hear.
So do you just have a tax exempt form on file with them? That may be something I need to do. Thanks for the info!
Re: Where do you order your screen printing supplies?
Cool, I actually called Jason this morning to see if he could get back to me since he was out of the office today. But I tried to go ahead and request a login so I could see their online catalog. It said I could use a temp login and password, but they didn't work.
