Re: basic reliable equipment start up
You are going to need to get a new printer. I'm sure there are methods of using a standard printer that would work, but you would sacrifice quality. As for the 800 budget, you not going to be able to get much for that. I would suggest looking at craigslist in your local area for a set up for sale. Other considerations you must consider would be how many colors are you going to print on a textile, do you plan on doing a four color process work, how many shirts you would want to print out in a week, the detail of the images your going to print, space you have for a workshop ect. Again 800 isn't much, you can get something in that range that would produce but you need to figure out exactly what you will accept as far as quality, quanity and ease of use.
