Just bought equipment, what should do I do now??

I just purchased a Hopkins 4/4 press, expsure, M&R 8ft, flash, inks, etc. Now that I have all this I was thinking about attending the Ryonet class in California. Does anyone have any advice on my next step towards learning how to print/opening a business?

I am trying to tweet everything towards my progression, if you see any steps I am doing wrong or if you have any advice on what I should do next please let me know! My twitter is @cityoftees. Thanks!

Hi, I am a 23 year old former college student who is opening his 2nd business. My new venture is screen printing, I currently own a clothing store located in Downtown Sacramento called Lucky Lefty's (luckyleftys.com)

I have been a screen printing business for 3 years and have accumulated a decent client list. I decided it is time for me to start printing myself and letting the other business run itself.

Any advice, comments, questions would be greatly appreciated. I have knowledge about the screen printing industry but very little on the actual printing process itself. Please help my quest to starting a successful screen printing business @CityofTees.

So you have a store and now you're running a screen printing business? Or you have been running the screen printing business? A little confused but I'm near the same age as you, 24 to be exact and run a screen print shop. I am making plans to open a brick and mortar store soon.

Sorry to confuse...I currently have a clothing store, and have been taking orders from people who come in to the shop, referrals, etc. However, I have been getting pretty good business and feel it is worth opening my own shop instead of contracting it out.

It looks like we are in a similar boat...what are your near plans looking like?
