Greetings!

I am brand spanking new to this and any insight or guidance is appreciated!

I am interested in doing some printing as a hobby, mainly on the side and for special occassions. Ideally, I would like to do some printing on mesh basketball jerseys or dry fit/polyester shirts, cotton, etc... Initially, I do not plan on anything elaborate, maybe 1-2 color print, but want the option for 3-4 colors down the road.

I am assuming screen printing would be what I am looking for to accomplish the above. My budget is around $500 but value quality so I can be flexible.

Thank You!!

MK

$500 may get you a used press, the ole buy once rule applies. I have a beginner setup from Ryonet (and need a conveyor dryer badly). It came with everything needed to get going. $4000.00

you'll need squeegees, ink, cleaner, reducer, emulsion, scoop coater etc etc-- it adds up fast

good luck and let us know how ya make out :0)
