I use this system every day and have been in business for 13 years. For quick short runs in few colors, it is the way to go.

Is there Prices? What press are you exactly talking about? Can you give me a direct link to the Equipment you are talking about

thanks

hey downrodeo, i tried to PM you, but wasn't able to do so... just wanted to find out whether you managed to get your screen machine... and where did you get it from if you don't mind sharing? thanks...

Just a quick update. Its been about a year now since I bought my press. Doing everything in house. Just finished my first 2000 shirt order. This spring has really taken off. I'm enjoying screen printing and can't wait to expand to a bigger shop. I hope all you guys are enjoying the T biz.

The press Camscam posted about looks intriguing. The Teeshirtprinters.com - Screen Printing Equipment, Supplies and Tutorials. Learn to screen print, buy online screen presses! one. I too am getting into it as a hobby/side project. I'm mostly into it to have truly original threads. Only way to do that is to print em yourself, amirite!? Those presses seem to be the cheapest you can find with micro registration, unless I happen to find a used press. Just wondering how it is holding up. Anyone else have any experience with these products?

Edit: nvm did a search, found some info.

What do you guys think of these little presses?

I'm just getting started and don't want to spend too much until I know that I'll be sticking with the business.

Will likely only be printing 1-2 color shirts and typically printing to order. If all goes well I'll upgrade to a real setup in 6-9 months.

Link to press #2

Of course I'll need ink, chemicals, screens, etc. so is it better to consider a package like this?

Package

Any alternative presses under $500 that I should consider or packages for $750-1000?

Thanks.
S.

I have been a screen Printer for 10 years, If this is your first time screen printing I would not go out and spend alot of money, buying new equipment.I would fine someone who had used equipment for sale, I have a 4 head two color station, that is used and I have been using it for 10 years and a used heat press for 8 years, but I brought the dryer new. Look might want to research first, or fine someone to do the screen printing for you and become a contractor.

LaTonya is right to a degree.
It cost alot to buy new. Plus, you don't have customers knocking on your door with the first week or month even year that you have you press.
I bought used. Made my own exposure unit, screen racks, drying station and washout booth. It has been great. I dont think I could have got a better new press for the price.
Also, if you are going to do mutli color jobs, get yourself a press with micro-reg.
Good luck!! and have fun printing.
