Hi, We have recently started our tshirt business but we are still looking for printers and the proper kind of printing to do what we want. For most of our designs, we have a repeated patterns that cover the whole shirt, seam to seam. we are from the new york city area and i only know of one company, Prographix NYC that can do it around here but they are extremely expensive for such a new company. I was wondering if DTG might be the way to go, i do know silk screen cannot do what i'd like. any help would be appreciated. To sum up my questions, they are:
1. Is DTG the way to go and if not, what is
2. Does anyone know any Printer that could do what we want, preferably in the tri-state area but not limited to it.
Again thanks a lot. we could really use the help on this info.

I think it can be done with a roller screen printer. But not many screen printers have that capability (printing all over printing after the garment is sewn together).
It can be done a bit easier *before* the garment is sewn together. Then you'd need someone to sew the fabric into a t-shirt after it's printed.
InYourFaceApparel.com does one type of this type of printing, but I'm not sure if it's "screen printing". They call it "water sublimation".

Sorry, I don't. I found one in Canada one time when I was searching google, but I don't remember the name of the company.
Your best option might be to go with the local company that you know can do the work. I don't think there's a lot of "competition" in the all-over-printing market, so the prices they quoted might just be in line with what you'd get elsewhere
I'm guess the answer is the "plastisol transfer" answer you didn't want
ahh, is that a do it yourself job or are there printers that do it. im really a novice at that stuff and i dont want to screw up my shirts, id rather leave it to professionals
In the meantime, you could keep checking around and googling for companies to see if any screen printers can do what you're looking for.
You might also want to check the boards at http://boards.screenprinters.net to see if any printers there have the equipment to do what you're looking for.
