heat press vs vinyl...help need for new business dream
hi all, I want to start in business by making logos and desings on clothes...
your forum helped me so far to figure out that the dark clothes are a concern and what i might need to start. but there is still questions i can't figure out so here am I for the very first time...
I am planning buying a vinyl printer/cutter...
for what i saw so far, i thought it might be the better but i ain't sure so I ask.
my concern are that i want the logo to stay on the shirt when washed (quality) and to be able to do black clothes
I was also planing buying a heat-press...here i wasn't sure wich to choose, a mighty press 15 x 15, a hix presto press 15 x 15 or a hix swingman 15 x 15?
I know it might be a very expensive start and i am a bit scared about that stuff, since i never did it before...does it need a special course to operate a printer cutter or is it easy to operate, is there any website where i might be able to learn how to do it?
I was pretty sure about the set-up but then i heard about floc and flex magicut transfert...i tryed to find more information about those other ways to do t-shirts but haven't found so far...was only able to read that those techniques are supposed to be the better results for dark clothes at the less expensive cost but what it is? no clue...
if there is someone who do vinyl transfert and can share experience or clue that might help me start i would be very happy. time is a concern for me here since the tourist time comming pretty fast and i want to start the faster i can, is it possible? i just hope.
thank you in advance
edit:
i got concern about what i need to start...
-trying to get my hand on a vinyl printer/cutter...
-will buy heat press...
-will need trabsfer paper...wich will i need?
-do i need special vinyl to do so? do i use white mat vinyl or transparent one (if it exist) ?
-gonna need t-shirts, shirts, lady thongs, boxers, etc...but let's start with t-shirts ( i like black) anyone got a clue about where i might found ones with good quality but not expensives? let's say standard commercial quality.
-i saw about teflon sheets and pad protector, still i ain't sure the use of them i might want help there too...
-any clue about the wax ribbons is also welcome, where i can buy cheap and wich product(are they all the same?)
-is there anything else i gonna need?
