Hey there. I have been a DTG printer for about a year now and we recently decided to also take on screen printing. The problem is I know NOTHING about screen printing, and was wondering if there are some good topics, sites or even books that really shed some light on how to get started.

I already have a 4 station 6 color machine with a flash unit, and it is assembled. I also got all the materials to make some shirts, but like I said, I dont know where to begin from start to finish.

Any help would be great, thanks guys.

PS: I searched the forum but I kept finding how to screen print with different methods.

Try reading Screen Printing for Fun & Profit (I believe that is what it is called. I never personally read the book but I hear it is good for starters).

Good luck, theres a long road ahead! I'm surprised you bought equipment before doing some research!
