Default Re: Which colors

to start I would get:

at least a gallon of white
gallon of black
then the primarys:
lemon yellow
red
blue
kelly green
then maybe orange
and brown if you need it cause it can be difficult to mix

these are my opinions, hope this helps!

Default Re: Which colors

I agree with Drue, but you may want to get a Royal blue and a Navy blue. Are you going to be printing shirts using customer supplied art or are you printing your own designs? If printing for customers, you never know what color they will request. Just buy the ink as you have need for it. Plastisol will last almost forever if kept covered well.
