Hi folks!
Haven't even made made first shirt yet so I need to help. My heat press is on the way and I'm going to start with black and white Hotmark 70 thermal vinyl. I plan to work into color transfers soon. My last purchase is the most confusing due to all the choices.
What is better to sell and has the best demand, 100% cotton or a 50/50 blend? From what I have read so far, 50/50 offers the best color selection and is in higher buyer demand but will not take hold the ink from color transfers as well. Thoughts?
If you have worked with various brands, what brand and model shirt do you recommend? Gildan, Jerzees, Hanes, Port & Comp.... Is there really any difference? What has the best results for my wallet and lack of customer complaints?
Since I am starting out I have chosen to limit my selection due to budget and to keep it simple. Since I plan to market to adults I plan on carrying M L XL and XL2 with black, white, light grey and navy blue to start. Does this sound good to you?
The best pricing I have found for shirts is http://blankshirts.com. Is there better? I know shipping does cost but I am blown away that 1000 shirts will cost over $300 to ship.
When I move into buying pre-made transfers what advice do you have? I have really only found http://www.proworldinc.com to supply these and they seem to have a huge selection. Any other companies out there? Do you folks print your own?
Any advice you folks could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob
