King Me

I noticed most people in here print their own shirts. I just want to know what would be my best bet for buying a Screen Printing Machine. Obviosuly I would be a beginner and I want to be able to print my own t-shirts with something that would be easy to learn. Is there anything simple out there that even the most clueless can pick up on pretty quick ? I'd appreciate everybody's help !

Welcome to the forums King Me......

You mentioned screenprinting. Although it is an industry standard, I wouldn't consider it the easiest to learn.

There are many methonds that can be used to print shirts depending on your circumstances (time, talent, money, space, etc.).

We use various methonds to print shirts (DTG, inkjet transfers, plastisol transfers, heat applied vinyl, & screenprinting) depending on what best suites the customers needs. Each methods has it's own set of pros & cons and of course, its own learning curve. However, some are definetely easier to learn than others. We haven't even tackled screenprintng ourselves yet and outsource to a local guy.

Perhaps if you share your thoughts on what you are wanting to do with your business model we would be able to be more specific in our guidance and / or recommendations?

You will find TONS of information on this forums and VERY helpful folks with ALOT of knowledge.

READ...READ...READ and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Again welcome and good luck...

John
