Discuss the various t-shirt fulfillment services in this general fulfillment forum. Newer companies like RedBubble, etc can be discussed in this main forum.
Companies that have been around 2+ years (CafePress.com, Zazzle.com, Spreadshirt.com, PrintMojo.com, PrintFection, etc), may have their own separate subforums below (as demand permits).
I'm wondering why there is no Cafepress type of website set up in the UK. I suspect that it would cost a fair bit to start up.
Does anybody think that one DTG printer and a good website would be a fair start? Or would it be doomed to failure by the prospective start up costs???
Just wondering........discuss....

There is Spreadshirt in Germany/serving Europe, but that does seem to be about as close as it's got.
I have my suspicions as to why, but it would be baseless conjecture.

Half a million pounds or so?

Absolutely not. No way. Definitely no chance.
One DTG printer and a website could be a successful business, it could even offer fulfillment to a small client base, but it's not even close to being on the same level as Cafepress.
...unless by "one DTG printer" you mean "one quarter of a million dollar high production DTG printer", in which case I suppose you're in with a chance, but I think there'd be much better ways to invest the money.
