Jim-

That's a kick @$$ website..did you put it together for yourself? Either way, I like it alot. Like I mentioned before I am very new to all this stuff but can I ask where you get your shirts printed?

I'm in the prelim stages and doing lots of research. I'm thinking about trying to get my hands on samples of items I see that I may like so that i can test them out and get a good feel for what type of shirts I want to start using.

Thanks... I'm glad you like our site! No, I did not build the site myself. The site was created by Culturepilot.com... we're very happy with the way it turned out. Regarding our printing: we use a screen printer located in Newbury Park CA. If you want their name let me know. They are terrific also.

If you have any questions feel free to pass them on.

I sent you a PM with a question about your screenprinter. Check it when you get a chance, thanks again,

I live LA county / work in Huntington Beach. Where are you?

I use printers in Santa Fe Springs, and I like those guys.

 

[MrPiz]

I live in Yorba Linda and work in Costa Mesa. The only thing I'm worried about going with a screenprinter is that I won't be selling a high number of shirts for awhile, at least I don't expect to. So I'm thinking heat transfers might be better to start with..who knows though. Opinions?

Alot of screenprinters do short runs because small apparel companies need samples to show retailers etc... so just ask them if they'll work with you if you only need a dozen or so of each design...

Then why not go with plastisol. ger a volumn of prints done at a low cost and then apply to shirts as you sell them. This what I would do.

 

[Tmon]

I'm also in LA. I do all of my own screenprinting.

Bad-

I'm thinking about going the plastisol route...I'm very new to all this and am still working on some designs, so once I have 5 - 10 designs that I can start marketing I'll figure out my best options.

Nice project. Was that biggest bird you could find? You gotta get a piggy w/ an apple in it's mouth to celebrate that project!!!
