Hi, I was viewing different printers and all of the ones I saw just print on the main area of the shirt, instead of printing on the entire shirt including the sleeves. I have some designs that are kind of like the Affliction and Archaic shirts and as you should know, their design is on the sleeves also. So, my question to you is which printer I should buy? Thanks.

You don't just buy a printer. You have to buy a press. If you go through the posts, you'll learn a lot more.

Alright, I went through some different posts and it looks like I'll need a printer that uses liquid ink. But, I'm not sure what type of press to use. I guess I should use a heat press? Also, I wasn't able to find anything out about how it prints on the entire shirt.

As people have discussed previously, Affliction or Archaic or Warrior style prints are either done on a belt printer, printed before sewing and a few other ways. I have also seen some use a water based ink screenprinting. Having said that, if you get creative, you can do some "out there" designing on shirts of your own using DTG style printers and/or transfers. All depends on what your creative processes allow you, and money of course
