Default What is screenprinting and what should I use to design my shirts?

Hi everyone!
My brother and I have decided to team up and start selling t-shirts via the internet. This is our first time doing like this and its just me and him. We honestly know nothing about how to design t shorts. However, I was wondering what is screenprinting, thes pros and cons from people who've used it, and what should I use to design my tee's?? Is screenprinting different from dyes??
Im sorry for all the questions but I want to learn all I can before we start designing shirts.

sophia,
Welcome to here. If i were you I would concentrate on establishing your brand with a logo and a general theme. Start with a pencil and paper and get a folder or tablet of ideas going. Is cherriibomb going to be your brand name? Sounds catchy! Dont worry about what print media (screen printing, dye-sub. etc.) you are going to use too much right now if you havent got your design ideas together. There is a real wealth of info on this forum that should help you get where you need to go! Best of luck to you and your brother!
